Gatesman 2

I am grateful that some more info on Marvel Comics’ new Gatesman character has diffused itself in my general direction. The earlier piece on this should definitely be read first: https://wwwinabstentia-andrewk.blogspot.com/2021/09/marvellous.html

Anyway Gatesman or Mr Gates has apparently a deep friendship with a somewhat shadowy figure called Jeffrey who has an airplane. Here from one episode of the upcoming comic book series the two friends are immersed in intense conversation.

“Jeffrey, there’s rumours going around about you.”
“What kind of rumours?”
“Not good rumours.”
“They’re not true!”
“I might know they’re not true and you might know they’re not true and Bill Clinton might know they’re not true, but not everyone else will know they’re not true. These kind of rumours can do harm Jeffrey. To you. And to your friends.”
“You’ve nothing to worry about! Who would believe anything bad about you? You’re Gatesman! You’re loved all over the world. But what about me?! You must do something!”
“I will do something, Jeffrey. Do you know what I’m going to do?”
“No. What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to vaccinate everyone.”
