We could have done this from the cells, but I wanted LB to get in MM's face on this one. This is one scene Lewis, LB's creator, felt pretty strongly on. LB's dialogue in the fourth panel is almost entirely Lewis'. (Personally, I think "sociopath" is a little strong—am I a sociopath because I don't go out and stop bank robberies single-handedly?—but this is LIGHTBRINGER's point of view.)

I also wanted to touch on why MM's Osiristor wouldn't be something Smiley would be already using, like he's using her mind-control technology. If there's no body left, there's nothing to recreate—besides, since all her alternative selves were merging together, there would be no guarantee it would be "his" Rachel that he brought back to life anyway.

I'm afraid MM will never get the "Miss Popularity" vote.
