History WMG / TheMiddleMan

* When the watch picks up Wendy and Tyler [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow exchanging pleasantries]], he says "Wendy's like a sister to me". Obviously just a turn of phrase, but it could be foreshadowing.

[[WMG: The show is set in the same universe as TheLordOfTheRings]]

Well, it's [[Main.LawOfConservationOfDetail important to the plot]] ''somehow''. There are two opposing possibilities here:

The Planetary organization is MadeOfWin, but their comic has slipped off the regular shipping list. Since they launched, the Creator/{{Wildstorm}} Universe went through a bit of a revamp; we have no guarantee that they made the cut.

** The battery of tests they gave Tyler, and the fact that almost anybody played by MarkSheppard is evil or slimy, suggests that Fatboy Industries is the opposite number of [=O2STK=] - a MurderInc joint - and Manservent Neville is the opposite of the Middleman. Because that would be awesome.

* The WildStorm revamp was in 2007, and Middleman started in 2008. So there's time.

The Planetary organization is MadeOfWin, but their comic has slipped off the regular shipping list. Since they launched, the [[WildstormComics Wildstorm Universe]] went through a bit of a revamp; we have no guarantee that they made the cut.

[[WMG: {{Planetary}} is the [=O2STK=]]]

*** According to WordOfGod, ''[spoilers for the graphic novel]'' [[spoiler:Manservent Neville was originally TheDragon to Kanimang Kang, the [[JamesBond Blofeld-like]] leader of '''[[FunWithAcronyms F.A.T.B.O.Y.]]''' (the '''F'''ederated '''A'''gents of '''T'''yranny, '''B'''etrayal and '''O'''ppression's '''Y'''oke). In all fairness, in their original language the acronym was T.H.U.N.D.E.R.D.E.A.T.H.M.E.N]].

[[WMG: [=O2STK=] is a division of [[DoctorWho [=U.N.I.T=]]]]]
