It's weird how Steele seems to get much more character focus in here than in the original WMIT. In that story, he seemed like little more than a placeholder between the Custer and Oswald years.
To be fair everybody does, I love how much more fleshed out this version isIt's weird how Steele seems to get much more character focus in here than in the original WMIT. In that story, he seemed like little more than a placeholder between the Custer and Oswald years.

If it weren’t for Graham already being established I’d say Jones could be a good AFC head. He also could work as a heretic who is as vile as the AFC but different from them.Whats Jim Jones doing TTL I feel like he would make for a good AFC preacher
Doesn't the Republican Union literally practice guild socialismJim Jones seems way too leftist to fit into the RU.
Yeah but Jim Jones was a pro-minority commune leader on the US OTL far left, which seems...kinda odd to put in the RU as a prominent church figure, IMO.Doesn't the Republican Union literally practice guild socialism
Might be, but OTL Jones leftism on social issues (more specifically race/Civil Rights issues, afaik) and the pseudohippiness of his cult don't sound that odd in the Pinnie RU of the 60s-70s.Yeah but Jim Jones was a pro-minority commune leader on the US OTL far left, which seems...kinda odd to put in the RU as a prominent church figure, IMO.
As long as those minorities aren't Celts, Slavs or South American he's goldenYeah but Jim Jones was a pro-minority commune leader on the US OTL far left, which seems...kinda odd to put in the RU as a prominent church figure, IMO.
Ask the average Better citizen and they'd say they're living in a Christian socialist state.Doesn't the Republican Union literally practice guild socialism
Isn’t JFK too liberal to be in the RU? Oh wait...Jim Jones seems way too leftist to fit into the RU.
Fair enough, I am officially owned lmao.Isn’t JFK too liberal to be in the RU? Oh wait...
Imo Jim Jones was an opprotinist I don't think he beleived a single word he said. He just saw left leaning people as prey. He would make Joe Steele proudJim Jones seems way too leftist to fit into the RU.
Say, where did you get that image from? Just curious, that's all.View attachment 752348
“The Man of Steel was no more, here lay a husk of his former self. Custer fell into Acheron, the darkest and the deepest river in hell. He could not swim for he was weakened from the violent splash nor defend himself. As he struggled to keep afloat, demons called the Anzu came upon him like an eagle to its prey. They savagely fought each other over their meal that resulted in his disfigurement from their sharp claws. The monsters were so preoccupied with their fight, that one of them had let go of their prized possession that drove them to brawl in the first place. Michael fell sharply into the black desert below him and landed a harsh crack. He bled a flood of full of blood, but he knew he could not die, for he was in hell, his eternal afterlife. Suddenly, saw a mysterious figure that loomed over him and they covered his face with their unusually long hand. He fell asleep and when Custer had been awakened, he realized that he was wearing a cloak with a mask on, and he was floating from the ground. Then, he felt something was burning in him. He opened his chest to reveal a message in fire written upon his skin:
BEHOLD THE DESPOILER OF NATIONS:
MICHAEL APOLLYON.
