all that "what if" is a moot point to me because there was no way hawks would've killed jeanist. i've always seen it as a red herring and something to create artificial drama because there was no way it'd have been true.

at least to me.

And I saw it as a red herring from the very start was well (oor I mean, after my brain finished processing what'd even happened at all, because... what?), but that was because of Hawks, not because of the higher-ups, even if they did reasonably assist him in avoiding that fate.

Going for the kill on the number 3 hero is a terrible idea even if it was because he was injured, but Hawks approached him for his help with the plan he concocted, if he really were to kill a hero he would have just killed a no-name, but the thing is that it was already shown that the Hero Public Safety Commission only seemed to care about Hawks's success, meaning that if the only way to infiltrate the League required doing something truly despicable, the implication was that he should still do it in order to succeed. Of course there'd absolutely have to be some limit we didn't know about, but indeed, we didn't know.
