Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Many
    • The biggest and baddest of them all is the GRU's General Sergei Khvostov, aka "The Butcher of Clear Lake City." His offenses include...
      • He arrived at Johnson Space Center in Houston and found that NASA had managed to move everything (personnel, equipment, documentation) out of there before the invaders arrived, left only with a mocking note "Catch us if you can." His response was to order the massacre of the families of NASA contractors, astronauts and anyone else left behind in Clear Lake City.
      • Bathing a Cuban officer (one of his nation's allies) in battery acid when they got into an argument over a mistress.
      • Massacring the town of Freer, Texas in response to an assassination attempt (that's implied to have actually been carried out by other elements of the KGB who found his methods counterproductive).
      • Forcing the mayor of San Antonio to kill one of his staff, threatening to rape her and then kill her himself anyway if he didn't. (He complied).
      • secretly working for his organization's rivals in the KGB.
    • General Gennady Bratchenko, the brother of the original film's Big Bad, dropped VX nerve gas and/or White Phosphorous ("Willy Pete") on Louisiana towns merely suspected of aiding La Résistance.
    • The PAC (People's Autonomous Collective) a New Left movement who threw San Francisco into chaos for a whole month by single-handedly destroying the municipal government and running amok in the city. Their headquarters' nickname during the battle of San Francisco? The Rape House. One of their members, Belinda Reynolds, was a particularly nasty piece of work.
      • DNA Testing in-story reveals that between 1965 and 1988, 4,000 "cold" rape cases turned out to have been committed by fourteen different PAC members.
