>>99097271The same ritual was performed at the start of that arc to resurrect the supervillains who were killed by Scourge of The Underworld (guys like Mirage, Letha, the original Firebrand, Death Adder etc)
Those guys all came back their real selves, not as "abominations."
Considering that Frank had them torched immediately, you can't say with certainty that they WEREN'T his real family.
Yeah, there's an argument to be made that it was a ploy, Hood being a supervillain and all, but we don't know.
And the fact that Frank would burn his resurrected family to death the second they come back to life, without even a second thought, well, that speaks volumes about Frank's character, and like I said, it's imo probably the most disgusting action he has ever taken.
And of course, that's probably why he forced Firebrand to do it, so in his sick head he can tell himself that it was a criminal who killed his family again, not himself if he ever does have his doubts.
