Issue 2 Response Post 19/5/13

Urbanite hurt Cat’s arm, the big Meany! Still I like how Cat seems undeterred by his warnings.

Very interesting developments this week. So now we know for sure that Grange and Stewart are not Urbanite and Misper but are just posing as them. I’ve been toying with the idea that as Grange Manor is a set then maybe Grange and Stewart are actors-for-hire. Still that makes me think that it’s too obvious. In that hiring actors would leave a paper trail which could reveal that Grange and Grange Manor is all a set.

I still think that newspaper clipping is relevant. Maybe Urbanite or Grange is one of the people mentioned? (Someone faked their own death maybe?)- Wild speculation here I know
I’ve also been thinking that some of the media was allowed into Grange Manor. Surely they would have realised it was a set? Maybe they’re part of the bigger plan to draw attention to the Manor and away from something else?

I found it interesting that Misper was following Urbanite’s orders in getting information on Cat. I’d read it as Misper subverting Urbanite’s orders but it seems he was following them. This makes me think that their relationship is not quite as fragmented as I first thought. Although Misper seems a little uncomfortable with some of Urbanite’s actions, as seen from last week where he was fiddling with his cross.

How did Urbanite come across Cat? Maybe Urbanite is someone closer to Cat than we actually think? Is the fact her Dad was a police officer relevant here. If Urbanite fights crime then he must have come across the actual law before (maybe her Dad is a bit like Gordon in Batman?). If this is the case then her Dad worked on the case in the newspaper clipping then, if Urbanite was also involved, then this provides a link somehow, if that makes sense because I’m really loosely speculating here!

I find it interesting that Urbanite sent Misper to investigate Cat not himself. Maybe it’s due to Enrique being more her age or maybe Urbanite can’t risk his identity being found out (Cat worked out who Enrique was after all)- does this suggest Misper is more expendable than Urbanite? The first mind-map noted more than 1 Misper but Enrique denied it I think?

I’m looking forward to what Cat’s investigations bring up!

If this was the case then they could have a Luke Skywalker-Darth Vadar moment! ;D



That's what the proper name for it is! Thank you so much for writing that. I knew it had a proper name but I couldn't remember it. That's been bugging me for a couple of weeks now



I agree with you that Urbanite's morality seems to be called into question. Typically one could regard him as 'good' given that he's a superhero and thus aligned with 'justice' but he seems more morally complicated than that.

Even if his end goal is 'justice' (however you want to define that) I suppose we have to question to what means he is using to obtain that goal. If there is more than one Misper than is Urbanite willing to 'sacrifice' them for the greater good so to speak?

Like you said, it seems a little bit harsh. I'm reading Urbanite on a whole new level since the last few pages.
