Title: Did the Regs go too Far?

Article:

     Well the cards have fallen and it appears as if the 'Wild Card' is still standing. Of course I'm talking about the sudden revelation that Ace is alive. A staged death.
     Some are relieved to have him back and others are outraged by the deception. Others just wonder why. When asked to comment the Regulators issued this statement. "We are sorry for the pain and anguish caused by our actions. Please understand that as awful as what we did seems it was in the efforts to protect another life." Dave Steel went on to say further that he may not be alive himself if Ace had not done what he did. "I'm indebted to him." Dave said referring to Ace. "His willingness to go into the shadows and fake his own death bought me the time I needed to find the man out to kill me."
     Time will tell if this latest ring of Regulator deceit will be forgiven. If we look past it we will see the great job done by Ace, the man behind the paint, in this fiasco. His record was remarkable and his ability to adapt to the character originally created by Dave Steel only shows the true talent 'The Wildcard' has.
