History WMG / Wanted

Before the events of the comic, they villains had an alien supercomputer being, an extradimensional imp, a large cadre of time-traveling super Nazis, the world's smartest man, and some of the world's smartest psychopaths. By the end of it, the Fraternity has... what, the Lgion of Substitute Villains? They can't maintain control to the same degree they had. Meanwhile, the criminal underworld has been bucking against their level of power. The absence of athe big fish at the top if the food chain leads to one lucky sociopathic son-of-a-gun to bootstrap his way up to World's Most Wanted.

Think about it. [[ParanoiaFuel Isn't it all horrifically plausible?]] Why the world's in such a crappy state, the truth behind all those "Disappearances" and "Unsolved" crimes? Ever walk down the street and see someone who looks JUST LIKE a character? What if it's because they are? If super powered beings like the ones in comic books existed, it would be childsplay for them to use their godlike powers to make us forget they ever did. And the ultimate sick joke, MarkMillar who is in on the whole thing as is every comic writer, was hired to print a comic about how comic characters were real and running the world, just to make it seem all the more ludicrous. He even comes right out and says it: Who even reads comics any more? He creates a story that makes the theory of real life super villains running the world impossible to believe and all but states, in story, that that's the whole POINT of the story.

[[WMG: The comic takes place in the same world as ''KickAss'']]

Wesley Gibson is Charles Xavier, who, prior to XMenFirstClass, time travelled to the 21st century and forgot who he was. The Fraternity evolved from the Brotherhood of Mutants. Being able to curve bullets is a mutant power, just like when Magneto curved the bullet that killed John F. Kennedy. Somehow, he was able to give members his power.

Consider this, in 2011 [[TheNew52 the DCU got rebooted]] and the following year Marvel updated their titles (but not continuity) now since the Fraternity is a mix of both the DC and Marvel universes, perhaps some plan enacted by the Batman expy before he died or some higher force causes their warp to be undone...and then a modernized version of their past comes into existence. I don't really know what it's be like but I'm pretty sure Wesley would survive since he is their version of {{Deadpool}} and all.

As LarryNiven once said, there has to be ''someone'' at the extreme end of a probability curve.

[[WMG: The [[{{Alien}} Xenomorphs]] actually exist in Wanted.]]

Throughout the comic, numerous paralells to Marvel and DC comic books are made. For example, many of The Fraternity's members are {{Expies}} of villains from either continuity: The Emperor is obviously [[IronMan The Mandarin]], Fuckwit is supposed to be Bizzarro, [[MeaningfulName Johnny Two-Dicks]] is The Ventriloquist, Mister Rictus is The Joker, and so on. Additionally, several Fraternity agents bear an uncanny resemblance to [[SpiderMan The Headsman]], Darkseid, Reverse Flash, and Venom. When the Professor shows Wesley his secret, it's obviously supposed to be Superman's cape, and someone who is implied to be Superman himself is seen confined to a wheelchair. If that's not enough, the comic also makes reference to seven-dimensional imps, [[XMen level nine intelligences]], and the two actors Rictus killed are more or less outright named as Batman and Robin (especially considering how he taunts them as they die).

[[The [[{{Alien}} Xenomorphs]] actually exist in Wanted.]]

I realized (thanks to the Nemesis WMG above) that the Fraternity's strength has been severely reduced, due to the fact that Rictus and the Future might have killed everyone in the Professor's gang except Wesley and Fox, and even if there are any survivors around there probably are very few. Then there's the fact that the groups led by Rictus and the Future might have been completely exterminated or at least mostly destroyed. Leaving only Adam One and the Emperor with intact groups...and not able to assert the authority they once had over the Earth, plus they might not be able to cover things up as easy...then of course there's the fact of the kid Rictus orphaned, if he was right and that kid did train up to defeat him (thus making him their version of [[BatmanBeyond Terry McGinnis]]) he might find out about the Fraternity as he tries to find Rictus, and if he found out about the superheroes who were still alive, or the cape that the Professor kept...the superheroes might return and once that happens...the Fraternity would have to start running again.

* Sloan only manages to kill Wesley because Wesley used himself as bait to line up the kill shot on Sloan for [[spoiler: [[ChekhovsGunman The Mother-Fucking Decoy!]]]]
