Fear Itself (Comic Book)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

** The plot is set into motion when the titular Chance (later revealed to be not just stupid but also insane) falls for an obvious [[Ponzi]] scheme that requires him to invest $20000 in a Chinese vase under the promise that he can sell it for $45000.

** When an antique dealer offers him only $5000, he leaves without taking the vase ''or'' the money.

** The dealer calls him on it, Chance is enraged and attacks him. The dealer is accidentally killed. Instead of calling the police and explaining what happened or taking his money and leaving, he stays to clean the mess, ''but not'' [[Makes Just As Much Sense in Context|some burning cigarette left on the scene by his]] [[Doppelganger]].

** The smoke sets off a fire alarm. Chance destroys it. A security guard calls the store and [[What an Idiot!|Chance answers the phone]]. He fails to deliver the security password required and the guard goes to the shop.

** Despite being already night, the light out, the shop closed and the owner nowhere to be seen, the guard sort of buys that this guy that doesn't know where the switches are or what the password is is a new employee in his first day in the shop, and doesn't react until he discovers the dealer's body.

* [[Complete Monster]]: The Serpent. All he wants is fear. Through death and destruction. No matter who, he must get everyone killed so he can have the power.

** Sin/Skadi may be even worse, as she's entirely willing to go through with the plan, while the rest of the Worthy are just possessed. Adding to it that she's [[Daddy's Little Villain|the daughter of a guy who's possibly the greatest Nazi comics villain ever]]... yeah.
