In any case, these numbers had been a way to keep one’s racist feelings on the down low, around those that weren’t already affiliated, until Kaiser’s predecessor formed Empire Eighty-Eight here in Brockton Bay.
1) It really seems like these codes are common knowledge now. I guess that’s a natural result of a far from low-key group of supremacists parading them around and identifying themselves with one of them.
2) Apparently Kaiser didn’t found the E88… interesting.
The move had pushed an ultimatum on the more secretive racists in the area, forcing them to either join the aggressive, active group in the public eye or retreat further into hiding.
Both of which are bad for actually dealing with the racism.
It had also drawn crowds of the more diehard white supremacists from the surrounding regions to Brockton Bay. When people with powers, Kaiser included, started to congregate in the group, Brockton Bay became something of a magnet for those sorts.
Welp. No wonder the E88 is so big, then.
One of the bigger collections of racists above the bible belt. Quite possibly the biggest congregation of racist supervillains.
Not exactly the feat you’d want your city to be known for.
The day Empire Eighty-Eight had gotten its name hadn’t been a good day for our city.
Evidently not.
