Hey there Greg I have some questions about the light this time.

We do know being a member gives you a lot of status in the villain/under world side of things, but what happened to members that get replaced?

Say OceanMaster and Blackmanta were once respected but now they killed the former, and the light is indifferent With Blackmanta being under Amanda Waller’s control.

1.-Does that mean that once members get expelled they lose all worth the light? And I don’t mean “worth” as in how they also use the heroes as tool , but how say a retired Justice or president still gates benefits and respect.

2.- Why was Rhas Al gul not “disgraced” after abandoning the light
3.- We know Rhas Al gul retired from the light, and as head of the “league of shadows”. But are the shadows still loyal to him as the even if i’s unofficially?

Thank you, Greg.

1. It's all situational. Certain failures land one out of favor. Manta not realizing his own son was a mole was considered a BIG failure. Ocean-Master was granted all respect but refused to stand down from the Nuclear Option. Lex Luthor on the other hand is still viewed as a worthwhile member of the Light, despite his public shaming, legal problems and need to retrench.

2. "Abandoning" is a strong word. He resigned and handed over one of his major assets (the League of Shadows) to the Light. Plus he and Vandal are old friends.

3. You'd have to poll each Shadow individually, I suppose, and hope for honesty and self-awareness if you wanted to trust their answers. And even then, it's bound to be situational.
