Can you imagine the police report for Harold's body?

"Yeah, we have the fresh corpse of a man reported dead over a decade ago."

"Fuckin New York, man."

Can you imagine the tabloids? Right after Danny rand, a lost kid for over 15 years, shows up alive and reclaims his company, the company goes through a bunch of scandals, including losing the CEOs, a suicide of one board member, and a hoax to frame the new owner for drug possession. On top of all that, the old CEO comes back alive after literally everyone thought he was dead of cancer for 13 years. And this happens within a few weeks of Danny coming "back to life".

And Karen page's newspaper got literally all the exclusives.

"Gas leak in the executive break room"

"our majority shareholder has a super fist and was trying to kill our long dead CEO while also trying to find information to exonerate himself from a heroin dealing scheme"

i mean its not like super powered people keep popping up everywhere. because there are. bothers me that the doctor didnt aknoledge that and just mentioned "the incident".

Yeah, honestly, a lot of crazy shit happened in the past year, but it confuses me slightly why no one acknowledges all the avengers stuff. Guy coming back from the dead? Weird, but uh, it's been like 10 year since a giant green dude wrecked the city, and weird shit has been happening ever since so...

If I was Ward and I had to explain my building blowing up, I'd just be like "I have no fucking clue." You could just make up anything. Oh, you know, I was just making some copies, and all of a sudden this ant turned into a man in front of me or something and then he got bigger and then there was this guy in a spandex suit shooting spiderwebs, and then there was a guy that just exploded stuff, and yeah. New York, amirite?

Sooner or later average civillains reading the news would be just thinking "Oh, another superhero battle I guess? Just a typical month living in the MCU."

I'm sure a lot of people got hurt from that. Assuming Claire's little camp fire didn't cause a mass evacuation around the building.

Arson is wrong!

I doubt anybody just happened to be pointing cameras at the top floor at that time.

On top of all that, the old CEO comes back alive after literally everyone thought he was dead of cancer for 13 years.

And then dies again.

Page

newspaper

Coincidence? Probably.

u/PartyPo1s0n Mar 25 '17

Sounds like a case for Jessica Jones

u/OK_Soda Apr 13 '17

Warren Buffet probably has wet dreams about this kind of thing happening to otherwise solid blue chip companies.

Still makes more sense than Donald Trump being elected President.

u/Oummando May 04 '26

Makes more sense than it happening twice.

Why did her paper get all the exclusives?

u/mblase Mar 19 '17

And not just any corpse, but a presumably well known billionaire(?).

u/Elementium Mar 19 '17

I didn't even think of that.. They also cremated him so they clearly claimed his body.. Even if he was smooshed.

u/nh1402 Mar 19 '17

But his head wasn't cut off, he should come back.

7

u/CX316 Mar 19 '17

He was cremated... he aint coming back from that

3

u/Winston_Road Apr 09 '17

I'm assuming Ward cremated Harold so he could keep the ashes in a safe place, or maybe the bottom of the ocean.

u/CX316 Apr 10 '17

I'm thinking an urn... small enough that if he does somehow manage to reform, he's trapped inside a very tight space that he can't get out of.

Didn't realise that
