The Plant

It’s now blindingly clear to me that “Operative Burch” is actually a plant, a test for new villains to the Rogue Islands, an update of the classic, “Well, you’ve shown us you have the stuff, now take this [unloaded] gun and put a [“click”] bullet in the head of this cop we just captured snooping around, so we know you’re on the up-and-up.”
I mean, the guy is the first person every new character is sent after.
The so-called “Longbow Agents” there are almost certainly turned or guys in captured costumes, too.
I’m just sayin’.
