"I have not been in control of it for a long time," he said more angrily than he intended, before taking a deep breath. "They keep me as a figurehead, but I retired from that role some time ago. The minute I suspected they murdered Azanti I could not work for a group who would kill supers simply to hide something. I certainly wouldn't have had any brook with that...MONSTER we fought working for them. Not after this," he said, lifting his shirt to reveal a horrible scar on his left side. "Do not tell the others but...this is slowly killing me, I did not tell the Corps because I feared they would kick me out. The only reason I have lived this long is I used much of my power to slow the poison's spread. If I hadn't been so focused on this my son may still be alive."
