* Also, consider the [[SeriousBusiness Muffins Arc]]. Besides one brief mention of the teachers not being happy with a student practicing vigilantism on bullies, there's no signs of any adult authority. The arc ends with ''a full-blown student riot'', as a kid is attacked and his muffin stand is torn down. Apparently this is a school where teachers just ignore things like that.

* Abby recently decided to market her muscle growth formula, even though the bugs haven't been worked out yet and the FDA's seal of approval hasn't been given. That's bad enough, but it's been previously demonstrated that one of the drug's side effects is a lack of sexual boundaries. How many women were raped by men under the influence of "Ferrigno Fluid"?
** Note this is 'lack of sexual boundaries' as defined by a kid whose age is not yet at double digits. for all her intelligence, she still acts like a little kid. So 'lack of sexual boundaries' may simply be that they actually talked to the opposite sex.
*** The DEA directors do not mention a spike in rape statistics as one of the consequences of the drug, so that is probably not the case. And not only was the "lack of sexual boundaries" noted by a kid, it was based on another kid's behavior. Contrary to popular belief, grown men are generally a lot better at handling their urges than children, even on drugs.

* Fisk works for an organization that, according to the back-story in Better Days, has no connection to any government, operates in multiple countries, answers to nobody, and murders people. This essentially makes Fisk a professional [[WesternTerrorists terrorist.]]

*** Still doesn't change the fact that, even if they have good intentions, they are a multi-national operating intelligence agency with no oversight and god (or their accountants) only know how unlimited a budget with their basic mission statement being 'destroy America's enemies'. This does not always have to be terrorists or criminal organizations, but also other political bodies. That right there is pretty damned terrifying.
*** That's how major intelligence and black-ops agencies operate the world over, state-funded or no, and a lot of them ''are'' perfectly valid sources of FridgeHorror. Fisk's organization is not a particularly brutal example, though. There are no references to the murder of "political bodies" anywhere in either comic, and neither are so-called unlimmited budgets ever alluded to.
*** Stating that the organization "probably still work[s] by pre-Nixon CIA protocols" is not at all reassuring, considering that before Nixon ever came around, the CIA had already overthrown multiple governments (including [[UsefulNotes/{{Iran}} one operation that really came back to bite us in the ass]]) and touched off the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and when that failed spent a decade or so coming up with [[ShoePhone ridiculous plans]] to assassinate Fidel Castro. And that doesn't even count comparatively minor things like experimenting on people with LSD and other drugs without their informed consent.

* "The Muffins" arc is hands down the biggest piece of FridgeHorror in the whole comic. Beyond the entire student body philosophizing in a manner beyond what most elementary students are capable, they have masked viglantes attacking students, students attacking students, a full blown riot on the front lawn with the aim to possibly seriously injure a fellow student, the head of the school paper using it as a political tool to control the student body and not single teacher in sight or attempting control the situation. AdultsAreUseless at its finest and, by the way... [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior THEY ARE ALL ELEMENTARY STUDENTS]].

*** Probably the biggest source of FridgeHorror is that, unlike with other groups, it seems they determine their own targets and not a higher body or authority and that their standards are "anybody we think deserves it and in the way we think they deserve it", with Fisk even admitting as such. This includes a guy who, while a total bastard and attempted rapist, had already been beaten to the point of hospitalization by Fisk, in police custody and on top of all that, they convince they man's own doctor to betray the Hippocratic Oath and do the deed. He was no longer a threat to anyone and was going to face justice.

**** That's how major intelligence and black-ops agencies operate the world over, state-funded or no, and a lot of them ''are'' perfectly valid sources of FridgeHorror. Fisk's organization is not a particularly brutal example, though. There are no references to the murder of "political bodies" anywhere in either comic, and neither are so-called unlimmited budgets ever alluded to.

"Destroy America's enemies" is also not their "basic mission statement", it's just a general description of their purpose.

** The real FridgeHorror here is that Abigail is inventing chemicals like this at age ''six'', and is being given no counseling or preventive restrictions whatsoever to keep her or others from abusing her gifts in the absence of an adult's judgement. This is ''by far'' Fisk's most glaring and dangerous mistake as a parent after the "Ferrigno Fluid" storyline.

Based on what we've seen though, Fisk's organization is not a particularly scary or brutal example. There are no references to the assassination of "political bodies" anywhere in either comic, and in real life there's no such thing as an unlimited budget, especially not for privately funded projects.
