Doc, about Euro as a public face.
I used Euro for the reasons I put in the post, being him the first person to have been known to carry the gene, because he was a very loved sport champion (at last in Europe (for his birth), in the third world countries (because he was constantly beating the American champions) and in Latino America (because he was constantly beating Frederico, the Cuban that switched to America. ), because for his past he is accustomed to talk to media and because he is genuinely moved to work for metahuman freedom.
Euro is a wanted person in the USA (for a crime he didn't perpretate and for the Zoo happenings) and in allied countries (like Italy, as I have shown), while in La Perdita is considered a dangerous person for various killing of thugs that were always recognized, in courts, as self defense. I am not forgetting that, and it's why Xiang told him they will have to rebuild his credibility and reputation. I am perfectly aware of that, and I will try to show how that will be accomplished.
In any case, I am open for suggestions, and also for a big NO if it come from most of the writers.



If it were just one thing, it might be possible to build up Ed's public persona to that which it once was. But when you add all that up together, mix in the current world view of metaterrorism from Naecken and the MBL, not to mention that the MBL has made public statements with a man masquerading as Ed's old Euro persona, it doesn't look good for the home team. Even if Raptor was aquitted in the courts of La Perdita on the grounds of self defense, that is still ammunition against him to suggest that he is a ruthless, blood-thristy meta. Let's face it. OJ has a better chance of winning over the public than Ed does.

It's hard to find a suitable public persona for the team. Grimm is the avatar of death as well as on the UN's shitlist. Ozzy is a gambler with ties to the criminal underworld. Brianna spent her teens years locked up and isn't really capable of dealing with the media. Phil is wanted in the US. Danny, Preist, Tayden, and Adem have no records or past prior to their associations with the team, thereby throwing more suspicion on them. Mason's a bit too brash to be doing public relations. And I don't feel that I have to explain why the B-Team isn't a good choice, either.

Dr. Huerta might be a good choice if it wasn't for his close, almost restraining ties to the rest of the B-Team. If it wasn't for the whole man with no past thing, Danny would be the obvious choice. Sam, if Gooz keeps him around, would do nicely. He's established and likeable. The only downside is if Merlin tries to spin the fire incident against Sam. Drake, once again if Notwedge keeps him around, is a fine choice. He's used to public speaking, has a history of being a well-known and liked protector prior to being bonded with Drax, and gets the sympathy vote for being in a wheelchair.

Probably the most strategic choice out of all the group would be Epicenter. Who better to counter Strikeforce propoganda than a former Strikeforce member?

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
