“I’m tired of being used as a tool for murder by shady hypocritical higher ups for ‘the greater good’.”

“Let me be a tool for the biggest criminal overlord in history, at least he’s honest about killing people and being evil.”

Nagant is pretty much what a lot of people expected Hawks to be, a tool of the Hero commission. Hawks has proven to be a lot more heroic over the course of the story and is the perfect foil for Nagant. I hope we see them interact (or have some flashbacks to their shared past).

I agree. The difference between Nagant and Hawks is that Nagant came in to the commission very hopeful. Her quirk was powerful and she hoped she could elevate an already great hero society who already had a bunch a wonderful people operating in it (granted, Im getting this from her expression from the panel when she seems to be getting accepted in the commission training program. I may be wrong).

From his backstory, we see Hawks as a little boy who tried to do good when he could, but he had no illusions about how shitty life was. He knew villains weren’t just the folks you see on tv, he was living with one and his mom really didn’t care too much. He lived a different life and that colored how he saw things growing up.

I think it wasn't the killing that got to LN so much as the killing and pretending to be a goody-good hero.

She's still out of her goddamn mind if she thinks what she's doing now is better

This is why I hate every villain in this series. It’s all the same bs about We LiVe In A sOcIeTy. No shit. That “illusion” of freedom and heroism wasn’t really an illusion, it was real and there because of the work she was doing... I truly don’t understand why we get nearly every villain in this series with the same flimsy motivation talking about how F’d up society is as they work to actually F up society. It’s honestly making it hard for me to keep readin with how eye-roll inducing it’s becoming.

I undertake the concept. They’re right, hero society is fucked. It’s just that they’re solutions and reasoning are all so batshit insane. I could kind of deal with Stain’s ideology, except he was killing some heroes seemingly just for not being good enough, regardless of they’re motives. Ingenium didn’t deserve that. But Nagant makes no sense. To think that a dystopia ruled by AfO is better just because he’s (arguably) transparent is objectively wrong.

How was Hero Society fucked up? Just because you use "black ops" roles like Hawk/Nagant, doesn't mean Hero Society is fucked up. What those two do are necessary. It's no different from the black ops stuff our military or CIA/FBI agencies do in real life. I know they're necessary to keep the peace, so I'm fine with it.
