In a series of comic book panels, Aqualad, standing with Brother Eternity, talks with the rest of the Titans. Aqualad says, "We have fought fights and won, but the world is still ruled by ignorance and division and greed that has this planet on a path to destruction. Yesterday, you put out a fire, but that doesn't stop the world from burning. No. Brother Eternity wants all people to leave Earth. I want that too." Beast Boy asks, "You want to be rid of us?" Aqualad says, "I don't want my friends to leave. But I no longer believe this world can survive humanity." Cyborg says, "That's eco-fascism. You just described straight-up eco-fascism." Aqualad says, "What? No! It's... it's environmentally conscious... um... humanity is a virus and... um..." Cyborg says, "You will believe anything to avoid blaming capitalism, huh?"

Humanity ain't the problem, hierarchy is.

Three comic book panels. In the first, Poison Ivy, in her green goddess outfit, is talking to a young man in a black hoodie and ballcap. Ivy says, "Yeah, sure, I'll be glad to talk to your climate change group." The man says, "Great! This means a lot. Just one thing. Maybe don't, um, suggest killing all humans? I don't think that would be received well. Also, um, I'm right with you on anti-CEO stuff, but we've got corporate sponsorship, so... maybe focus on individual things, like recycling or paper straws? Okay?" The final panel shows Ivy look livid, with flames in her eyes and the background. She thinks, "I shall turn him into a ficus. No flesh shall remain." She says, in a long, drawn-out manner, "Suuure." A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

In a comic book panel, Kilowog speaks over a multicolored background. He says, "In 1917 th' women a' th' US suffrage movement were told ta' put their protests on hold durin' World War I as an' act a' patriotism. Suffragettes refused, resultin' in mass arrests, abuse, even torture. An' yet, they were ultimately successful. Cuz a united people can't be defeated." A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Two comic book panels. In the first, Green Arrow, and a gray dog are riding in a car with a police inspector. Green Arrow says, "You protect the world from interstellar monsters and goons in pajamas... but the real crooks are duly elected. How do you fight that?" The inspector says, "Not by killing..." Green Arrow responds to her, "No?" The next panel shows the inspector and Green Arrow reflected in a rearview mirror. Green Arrow continues, "Pin folks down long enough, they start to wonder if they even have a choice." The inspector says, "So, what you're saying is he deserved it?" Green Arrow says, "Yes he did. That's not the point. The point is the people are better off." A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Two comic book panels of Batman and Robin investigating a mass murder scene. Batman says, "Look around. Observe. Tell me what you see." Robin, a.k.a. Damian Wayne, says, "An aging hero in chronic pain. Depressed that the fight is endless, not realizing that is because he refuses to deal with the root problems. Too stubborn to attack the capitalism that makes this city a haven of crime. Angry that..." Batman interrupts, "About the crime scene, Damian. What do you notice about the crime scene."

A comic book panel. Darla Dudley, foster sister of Billy Batson a.k.a. Shazam!, stands with Mr. Tawky Tawny, an anthro tiger in a shirt, trousers, tie, and green blazer. They stare at a T-rex in a top hat, monacle, and three piece suit sitting on their couch. Tawky whispers to Darla, "And he refuses to leave?" She whispers back, "He says the couch is his, um, manifest destiny?" Tawky says, "Oh dear." Darla says to the T-Rex, "Mr. Space Dinosaur? You remember me? Darla? This is Mr. Tawny. He's the one who's been making your delicious meals." The T-Rex says, "Ah yes. And that is why I, Business T-Rex, am the greatest predator in the universe!" Tawny says, "Um, but I got all the food. You didn't do anything." The T-Rex shouts, "How dare! I assumed all the risk! Ha ha ha business!" A QR code is captioned, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

There ain't hardly any risk with a diverse investment portfolio, so I assume anyone who talks about how they "assume the risk" just sucks at business.
