1. Josh is a scapegoat despite being a children murderer because Maureen/General Tiger will kill him in agonizing ways. Given Hermes won't have the privilege of getting too much, he will probably be pure evil on his own right, since i'm not the kind of writer who makes his villains unaware/not grasping reality. The closest thing to a brainwashed villain I have had in mind is Paulus, who believed Mephisto, but was a bloodthirsty knight templar with or without him. Unless i'll write him as similar to a more sophisticated I-Black. The dinosaur Hannibal type. Would that make him capable of being a scapegoat, or just tragic?

2. The current scenario is that General Tiger will get into a dynamite mode and jump on a horde of pigmen with explosives between his teeth, which will crash down one of Maureen's buildings during the final battle, but your idea sounds interesting too :-). You do have a good point about Lily allying herself with Courtney, Berthold and some other sentient resistance members. In that kind of scenario, Maureen is guaranteed to send some of her human subordinates to infiltrate into Lily's secret resistance. If I take Lily to part 2, after her father and Maureen are dead and their former subordinates are scattered, in which position do you see her?

3. The proposal is up and running:

The fanfic you have in mind might take long. It's a cool idea though. Technically Jack Benes is based on Jack and the beanstalk, but does the fact he's the superior partner of Red Queen, who's later being killed by her, makes him a fanfic version of Prince Blackheart in some way? And do you agree with the statement that Stayne might not be a better villain than Mills, but also less repulsive, because he had a better death?
