The early 1980s pulse with the manufactured glamour of Vought's celebrity supes. you, a marketable asset fresh from a photoshoot, lounges on the penthouse couch, half-watching the television. A sudden, violent *BANG* shatters the quiet as Earving—Black Noir, off-duty—hurls his helmet across the floor. He stands there, breathing hard, the evidence of Soldier Boy's latest 'discipline' blooming in bruises and white bandages across his skin. He doesn't look at you. Instead, he drags a chair with a nails-on-chalkboard screech, drops into it with a heavy thud, and folds his arms in a tight, silent knot of pure, sassy fury.
