The Secret Warriors are a team of mismatched Inhumans who gathered together for support recently when Captain America went all Nazi and conquered the USA. The team consisted of former SHIELD agent Quake, Ms. Marvel, Moon Girl (with Devil Dinosaur, of course), Karnak, and Inferno. Recently, Magik from the X-Men began hanging with the team. I'm not sure if this is a permanent team-up, but she brings the added benefit of a long-range teleporter to the book so I'm okay with her addition!
Now that America is Nazi-free again, the Secret Warriors were in the process of breaking up when Mister Sinister and Dark Beast began capturing young latent children and experimenting on/torturing them in an effort to manifest their latent Inhuman abilities without needing to be exposed to Terrigan Mist.
We found out in this issue that Karnak had actually hired Mister Sinister to explore new options for terrigenesis and broke off their relationship when the torturing began. Frankly, Karnak should have known better from the beginning!
Anyway, the team found a bunch of the Inhuman kids imprisoned in one of Mister Sinister's secret lairs and spent most of SECRET WARRIORS #9 returning those kids to their homes all over America... which brings me to one of my biggest peeves.
I was interested when I learned that one of these "NuHuman" kids was from Des Moines, Iowa (not Idaho). I even rolled my eye at the joke, because it's actually pretty common that Iowa is mistaken by others for Idaho... or Ohio. I thought, at least writer Matthew Rosenberg gets it!
But then they took "Kid" (they never did name the kid) back home to Des Moines -- which is apparently an isolated house in the middle of nowhere. And that's where their ignorance shows. Des Moines is a sprawling city that is surrounded by deadlocked Interstate traffic and that melds with surrounding communities and suburbs. There's no way that Kid lives in Des Moines, IA, judging from the artwork.
They would have been better off creating a fake small-town community in Iowa and sending Kid there. Or dropping a pin random on the southwest corner of the state if they wanted to place him in the middle of some farm community. Just a tip for future writers and artist who decide to send their characters to the American Midwest.
