* CompleteMonster: [[AxCrazy Mr. Rictus]] was a devout Christian until an accident causing medical death led him to believe there is no afterlife. Deciding there was no reason for morality, [[StrawNihilist Rictus]] becomes [[TheUnfettered a sadistic supervillain]], founding the Fraternity to wipe out all superheroes alongside his co-leaders. With a history of vicious raids to steal, torture, rape, and kill countless people at leisure, Rictus bores of his limited territory while the rest of the world is ruled by the other leaders of the Fraternity. Conspiring with the Nazi supervillain the Future, Rictus organizes a coup, personally torturing and raping [[WouldHurtAChild the children]] of a rival villain to spite the man before killing him as well. After taking power, Rictus takes the Fraternity out of the shadows while allowing the Future free reign in his own plot to restart UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust.

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: As listed below, the comic goes out of its way to subvert and deconstruct the idea of an EscapistCharacter with Wesley. The story even ends with him calling the reader out. Despite this, his life is still pretty enviable: He gets to do whatever he wants, has an attractive girlfriend, can visit unlimited alternate universes at will, and suffers from no legal consequences.

** [[NominalHero Wesley Gibson]] starts out as a miserable accountant with a terrible life until he's dragged into the violent world of the Fraternity of Assassins and trained to murder rogue agent Cross. Told that Cross killed his assassin father, Wesley is brutally trained [[TookALevelInBadass into a skilled and deadly killer]] by their leader Sloan and emotionally manipulated to the Fraternity's agenda by Fox. Later killing Cross in a climactic battle aboard a derailed train, Wesley learns he was his true father and is then betrayed by Sloan and Fox. Learning that Sloan was corrupt, Wesley uses his father's extensive research on the Fraternity to mastermind a devastating [[OneManArmy one man assault]] that wipes his enemies out. Unable to prevent Sloan escaping, Wesley hires a decoy to live his life to draw Sloan into a trap and finally kill the madman to avenge his father and solidify his own grand legacy.
** [[FemmeFatale Fox]] is both the only female assassin in the Fraternity and its most skilled member. Utterly devoted to the order's adherence to fate knowing it could have saved her father, Fox lies to and seduces Wesley to convince him to become a remorseless killer and murder his own father. [[BadassDriver A unrivaled driver]], Fox somersaults her car to give Wesley a chance to kill a target and rams it into a moving train to help Wesley defeat Cross. Not caring that her actions killed hundreds, Fox confirms Cross's identity and moves to finish Wesley, but can't stop him from escaping. When ambushing Wesley with her fellow assassins, Fox learns that Sloan has betrayed the order's ideals and hidden that all of them had their names marked for death. [[PrinciplesZealot With true conviction]], she ultimately saves Wesley by curving a bullet to kill all her associates and finally herself.
** [[DefectorFromDecadence Cross]] was once among the Fraternity's most legendary assassins, yet goes rogue when he learns Sloan began faking names marked for death to turn a profit rather than follow fate. [[PapaWolf While watching over his son Wesley]], Cross skillfully murders many of his former peers while planning an assault on their headquarters. Failing to stop his son being deceived, he shoots Wesley with a traceable bullet to set up a meeting on board a moving train. Separating Wesley from Fox using his carefully chosen meeting place, he tries to talk down his son while fighting off him and Fox. Ultimately shot by Wesley while trying to save him, he reveals the startling truth while arranging for his son to find all his plans and intel. His long term planning ensures his posthumous victory and the destruction of all his enemies.
