3/12 The Right takes that hostility and puts it in armor. Those smiley-faced suits are one of the things that immediately identify them. There's something particularly nasty about people coming after mutant kids with those cheerful faces painted over the equipment they're using to hurt them. Underneath the suits, they're organized human extremists. They have weapons, technology, facilities, and people willing to carry out Hodge's orders. They can kidnap mutants, restrain them, and use equipment specifically designed to interfere with their powers. That makes them dangerous in a different way from an enemy who just shows up with a strong mutant ability. They prepare for the people they're targeting. They know enough to build around those powers, and they treat the people attached to them as material they can use. And they don't have to win an honest fight to accomplish something. If they can hurt people and get mutants blamed for it, they've still helped their own cause.
