    • Trivia
      This is not the first time that the United States government has been accused of engaging in unauthorized experiments against its citizens. Two particular cases which stand out: 1) MKUltra mind control experiments, where subjects were given LSD or other drugs to make them more pliable 2) Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis, where black males were given the "Syphilis bacteria" to understand the course of the infection; The most appalling part of the matter, it was allowed to run its course even when there was a promising treatment, and those participants passed on the infection to their wives and new-born children.

      Martin Proctor: I regret not killing Black Lightning the minute he returned.

      Peter Gambi: It was the logical choice based on what we knew.

      Martin Proctor: And now Lady Eve is dead

      Peter Gambi: We can't be sure he killed her.

      Martin Proctor: She and her bodyguards were fried with electricity. What other proof do you need?

      Peter Gambi: Someone could have set him up.

      Martin Proctor: Who would do that?

      Peter Gambi: I don't know, I just...

      Martin Proctor: I value your counsel, Peter, and I usually appreciate your measured approach, not today. He was a nuisance, now he's a danger to me, to you, to the ASA. I've put a price on his black ass.

      Peter Gambi: That's a mistake, Martin. If we catch him, who knows how he could advance our understanding of enhanced human abilities? We should just wait...

      Martin Proctor: ASA's dissected enough metas. One more isn't going to help us create our own. Lady Eve was the liaison between us and The One Hundred. She got Green Light on the streets faster than anyone in the country. Her murder sets the Freeland experiment back.

      Peter Gambi: Yes, that's true, but there's no harm in making sure that killing Black Lightning is the right thing to do before we do it.

      Martin Proctor: I don't like power I don't control.When Black Lightning returned, you said you would figure out who he was and take care of him. You didn't, so I'm bringing ASA operatives into town to kill him, plain and simple. Give me any information you have that will help them track him down.

      Peter Gambi: Martin...

      Martin Proctor: I'm sick of this neighborhood, Peter. They don't take care of it, the food is all fried. The only thing the people here are good for is experimentation. They should be happy we're here. Green Light will give their lives purpose, direction. We're doing God's work, Peter. God's work.
