"You had good reason for concern. Match is a monster complicit in countless acts of terrorism and violence committed by the Luthor regime. He must be destroyed."
That much he was sure of. He'd have given him the benefit of a doubt and assumed he was under the government's thumb like he'd been but the man was far too glib and cocky. He didn't act like someone brainwashed and in constant pain.
"Being on the run is simple necessity. Much of what Luthor and Osborn are doing is cloaked with an air of legitimacy. To prove anything, the Defenders would have to break the law and risk losing their charter. All of us are already criminals and most of us escaped various government-sanctioned teams and would be eliminated for that fact regardless of what we did. Since we're all already criminals and on the run anyway it doesn't matter if we break the law in the name of exposing the current regime. If we uncover anything that the Defenders can legally intercede on, we can simply direct your attention to it."
