Now we know what you may be thinking: wow, it's pretty insensitive to try and make a school shooter a superhero, that it's tasteless and dense to think it could be a good idea. We gotcha, but you'd be misunderstanding what Terrabyte is exactly. He is not an actual character in the way you might expect. Rather than an actual character in the Emissaries of Justice per se, Terrabyte is a parody of the trends in characters in The Big Two where they have what are basically irredeemable characters that somehow redeem themselves. Genocidal killers that just "aren't understood" or something along those lines. Whether or not you think those work on a case-by-case basis is not the point, as Terrabyte is intended to be a lampooning of them, stretching it out to ludicrous levels without doing Hitler (because we don't want to attract Neo-Nazis). It also will pose commentary on how some comic publishers wade in mires of controversy on purpose for media coverage. Less to trailblaze but to just stir the pot. Not to name names or anything *cough, cough* The Big Two.

You may also think we're making fun of or exploiting the victims of school shootings. No, we're making fun of other publishers who might do just that or something like that. Making light of victims would be something entirely different, not only in context but also the substance itself. If you don't find it okay, just don't read it. That's fine and we respect your decision. If you think we're just looking for attention, you're wrong and wouldn't it just be "feeding the troll" in telling us that and trying to attack us? Logically, if you honestly think that: ignoring us is the much more reasonable thing to do. We really don't mind that either. And if anyone does comment on this talking about how evil we are or something... we'll just ignore you so don't even waste your time because we won't waste ours replying to you. If you have reasonable critiques that's fine and all, and we'll listen; but if you are unreasonable, disingenuous, and just throwing together a word salad and trying to shove it in our face, no thanks.

In universe, Terrabyte: The School Shooter Superhero will only be a comic published by Varmel Comics. We'll be doing digital short stories following Varmel's antics in the future, which will naturally be satirical humor set in the MW Central universe.

This was intended to be an April Fool's joke but things happen and the art wasn't finished in time for that. Oh well.
