The Moral Neutrality universe

m.n. WRAITH

Maia Montgomery is one of the heroes who struggles most with the worry that she could fall to the dark side; CT Wraith isn’t so much determined to be good as she is terrified of becoming evil, and the preponderance of dark versions from alternate realities helps bear that out. Compared to truly sinister and/or savage variants like Madame Chairperson, The Operationalizer, the Phantom of the Operative, Smooth Operations, Vampire Wraith, Gorgon Wraith, Mummy Wraith, White Spite, Price of Freedom Wraith, and “No YUORmine”, MN Wraith isn’t that bad; she still avoids killing, even in extreme cases like Spite (who as a MN antagonist is nowhere near the monster that CT Spite is, he’s basically just a slightly upscaled Maniac Jack who acts as an agent of chaos and only occasionally kills, having never gotten a taste for it, though he does still have an strong personal grudge against Wraith particularly), and she respects the rule of law while still opposing the way it’s been corrupted by The Orgchart and Mayor Overbarb.

But when you get down to the fine nitty gritty details of what she’s actually doing night to night, MN Wraith is what CT Wraith would call a loose cannon playing by her own rules; she doesn’t even hesitate over such questionable tactics as hacking into private personal files and leaking edited transcripts to the press, in order to get someone jailed for multiple petty offenses when they have an ironclad alibi for the murders she knows they’re guilty of. Due process and personal privacy and other sacrosanct principles of American jurisprudence are regularly sacrificed to Wraith’s muckraking moral crusade, and while MN Legacy respects what she’s trying to do to reform a broken system, CT Legacy would never stand for his oldest and closest teammate crossing so many moral event horizons.
