November 7, 201510 yr "...a genius. By a man who was king of his own little world. You'd like him."Ninth Doctor, DalekHere's yet another one of my "crossover" posts.Between reading Marvel's "Secret Wars" event, and watching shows like "The Flash" and "Arrow" on the CW, I've been doing a little bit of thinking...Case in point: Agito Makishima. Not the kind of person who makes friends, but always the one who wants to be pulling the strings.But what would happen if he crossed paths with other "master manipulators"?
