| The Takeover Man and The Locust are two different characters in two different stories. They both have mind control devices they use on other people. The similarities in the stories end there.
The Takeover Man uses his device at "retail," while The Locust uses his device at "wholesale." The Takeover Man uses his device to control people one person at a time. The Locust, however will use his device on dozens or hundreds of people at a time. In some cases, putting one person under control, giving them a copy of his device, then having them go out, and control other people, whom he then gives each of them a copy of his device, in effect, giving him a "force multiplier." Here are a couple of segments from both stories to show the difference. The Takeover Man uses his device to scam a crime lord out of $10 million, convincing him to stay away from his house – except when dropping off payments of the money – and while waiting for al the money to be assembled, spends his time screwing the crook's wife. After he gets the money, to be able to keep it, he has them commit a murder-suicide. The Locust arranges to have insurance agents sign up 10,000 drug dealers in the poor ghetto areas of several major cities for free $110,000 life insurance policies for their families. Not clear, unless you read the fine print, was that, in exchange for covering the premiums, The Locust gets $100,000, while their family only gets $10,000. A couple months later – after the period the insurance company can back out passes – all of the drug dealers from all the cities get invited to a free concert. By some strange coincidence the band is late. Meanwhile, all the exit doors jam, just as a gas leak builds up, then an explosion kills all of them. Nobody – except their families and loved ones – really cares much about 10,000 dead inner city youth err I mean drug dealers, so the news only covers the explosion, the police in those cities don't really care to investigate why there is now a massive temporary reduction in crimes – at least until new drig dealers replace them – so there isn't an outcry, like you know, if they were white. The small insurance company is on the hook for 1.1 billion dollars, about twice its entire assets. A larger insurance company that had wanted to buy them, agreed to acquire them, assuming the liabilities. Since the small insurer was wiped out, there was no payment, sp the stockholders got nothing. The large insurer paid each of the families the $10,000, for a total of $100,000,000. The Locust agreed, for a payment of $50,000,000, to waive the rest of the billion dollars. Which was what he told their management shortly after the explosion he would do that for them. |
