Secret Invasion: The Infiltration
2008-08-20 17:27:48

Steve Wacker's Evil Twin

Continuing the saga of our struggle over the DC office once occupied by Jeanine Schaefer, today we ferreted out an enemy agent who was attempting to penetrate the security of our offices in the guise of Stephen Wacker.

While the impostor was able to duplicate Wacker’s glassy stare and vacant look, his impersonation was undone when he casually mentioned that he had enjoyed “One More Day.” As no thinking individual would ever make that stupid statement—hey, childhoods were destroyed and history torn asunder!-- we immediately realized that he was a fraud. At first, we thought he must be a pod-person, but in the end unmasked him as a DC employee.

As you can see, we sent him back to his DC masters in disgrace. Duke Marts, on the left, appears pleased, but don’t be fooled—inside, he’s quaking in fear!

Clearly, the enemy has been intimidated; they realize that the contested lands will soon be a part of our ever-growing domain. They'll need to work much harder to shake our resolve!

More later.

Indeed!
See! If it weren't for my mention of DC within the ranks of Marvel, they'd have never caught this guy (nor would they have gotten rid of those DC Ads).

What happens next?

I could see the next attempt of infiltration is to send the real Wacker back to DC pretending to be the fake and put the banner.

If you are going to win this fight
you need to be brushing up on your Art of War:

18. All warfare is based on deception.

19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.

21. If he is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.

22. If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

23. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them.

24. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.

Banner ad on Marvel.com boards (and others po
Why is there a banner ad for DCHeroZone.com on Marvel.com?

I believe Marvel's ad space has already been infiltrated by the forces of DC!
