V.I.G.I.L.

Comic books really like their organizations with acronyms. The anti-vigilante subplot of Daredevil: Born Again has reminded me of I remember as a kid. The Vigilante Infraction General Interdiction and Limitation or V.I.G.I.L., was an armed anti-vigilante task force created by the US government. Their primary target was Frank Castle, which basically made them the Punisher version of the Hulkbusters. Ironically, the group was manipulated and possibly founded by the Trust, a group that wanted to use methods beyond the scope of the law to take care of criminals. I mainly remember them being involved in the Punisher Suicide Run story arc. Frank is believed to be killed so a variety of unhinged killers try to claim the mantle of Punisher.

Haven't done any stats since my Kraven review and I've decided to go with my tavern/bar/inn idea for A-Z so I'm going to do npc stats for a normal V.I.G.I.L. agent.

  1. I spend way too much time thinking about acronyms for organization names. SLOP, BADGER, and SKA are just the ones I've blogged about. Seriously...way too much time.

    I dig the writeup!
