One of my favorite bits in the Song of Roland is when Roland, dying and overwhelmed, decides to destroy his sword Durendal rather than let it fall into the hands of the enemy.

(Granted Spider-Man still has a legitimate beef about being subject to the one time in eighty years that gravity gave a crаp about long falls followed by sudden stops.)

"Hated and feared by those they protect. And also by the forces of natural law."

Kind of hard luck for Cyclops to have to worry about physics (and only the action-reaction part, rather than relativity or conservation of energy) when no one else in the genre does.

On the Marvel side, is turning Bucky into a brainwashed Communist assassin also a betrayal? We all liked that, didn't we?

Russia provided the bulk of the manpower against Germany, the US the bulk of the industrial power (Stalin's on record re the importance of Lend-Lease, and certainly thought that second front was a big deal given how much he jonesed for it before it was opened).

Not that I think it would work since it seems pretty inarticulate and single-minded, but they've got tablets and displays that they could type words into or use voice recognition to go from speech to text. (They could even have it display multiple languages at once.)

And TV and movies routinely swap out red hair for a different color for whatever reason. (In umpteen live action Jimmy Olsens, not one that I recall has been a redhead, and while Yvonne Craig may have gotten a red wig, Alicia Silverstone didn't.)

I think they probably still could— it would remove any fears they (well, Philip) might defect. Claudia would try to talk them out of it (since they're irreplaceable), but letting them voluntarily return is safer than trying to kill highly skilled agents. And the organization clearly has some sense of obligation to…

"Dear Lovey Hart, I Think My Parents Are Spies!"

All the periods of Soviet history of any sort. :-)

Or kills the guy.

I don't think there's any maybe there- what else could it be?

Probably depends where in the midwest. I started using them my first year in college in Chicago in 1986, and I'm pretty sure some high school friends from suburban Detroit did when the Cool Theater Teacher took us over to Windsor for real Chinese (probably Szechuan!) the year before.

So Jakku, then?

There's nothing in that article that indicates that the US "probably" poisoned crops. ("[N]ever proved." "[N]o documents ever turned up to support the claim." Etc. Burden of proof is on the accuser, and the article indicates that investigations of the allegations didn't turn up evidence.)

Or at least the state-controlled media didn't mention such problems as existed.

[H]e openly questioned why his country can't produce enough food when it has many of the same geographic advantages as the US in terms of land and climate.

Except, as Elizabeth has discovered (alas, after murdering an innocent scientist), the US isn't doing that.
