Ok, just like Grimm asked some times ago (or was it the doctor?), a new thread to list all the subplots, to keep tracks of them. Right now i have no time to go back and read all the stories, so I list the ones I have in mind. I will return in a few days with more, and I hope everybody will put here THEIR subplots, or correct any mistakes I have done.
Subplot 1: The Anti MBL
A mysterious being is gathering all the “villains” defeated at the hands of the MBL: so far we have Eduardo Frederico, host of KLT (the evil half of MXY), Doctor “Klone” Knell, the two Scorpion brothers and Ma Kalunga.
Subplot 2: Museum thieves
In issue 1 we have seen two metahumans thieves robbing an ancient bowl in the Thunder City museums
Subplot 3: Stalking demon
In issue 1, a demon appears in Chicago, kills a man and wears his skin. Since the “villain” of the story is alweays depicted as a beast or a dragon, I believe this demon is something different, and should be still there.
Subplot 4: Girls power
There is an old man which sends young women into secret missions: so far, we have seen him connected to Crasher (his daughter?), Ameristar and Nadia (the true identity of ex MBL member Sonja)
Subplot 5: the Gold Baron
Kristogar Velo has left the MBL to follow the trail of a man known as the Gold Baron
Subplot 6: T5
T5 is an “electrical” entity sent from the Quadnik dimension to track one of his inhabitants that is part of the composite being Naecken. Mxy has sent him away, but for how long?
Subplot 7: a nation on his own.
Following the falling of an asteroids over the country, the tiny but technologically advanced European country of Mandelovia has sealed his borders declaring American citizen personae non grata over his soil, after the government recognized America as responsible for the happening. So far, no actions has been taken toward USA.
Subplot 8: the future Eurostar
Following his “death” while preventing Mandelovia to been destroyed by the falling asteroids, Eurostar has been “taken” from the timestream by the Time Trust, to act as his “herald” for a period of time, and then put back on the proper time just a moment after his near death, with a new body. So far, we have seen only one mission of the “future” Eurostar, during the Mandelovian adventure.
Subplot 9: the Pathogen in Danny.
Danny was infected by the Pathogen in issue 1. At the end of the issue he was seemingly cured by Naecken, but it has been shown during the Revolution that in most cases the Pathogen was only temporarily deactivated...
Subplot 10: the sexual life of Lil’Jo.
I’ll spare you this...

Yeah, that was me, Euro. Nice job. I think it'll help people keep track of things. Also helps me to know more what's going on. Pro's like "you don't need to read the stuff, just start writing!" and i'm like "yeah, easy for you to do, you've been writing with these guys how long? I barely know them or their characters."
my only subplot
14) Clive Collins, mysterious New Orleans businessman and his connection to Grimm, Grimm's origin/transformation. (I still have some stuff to post in the "origin" thread, but the in the main story this can go on the backburner since there are so many ongoing things. But if somebody has an idea, write me and we can hash something out.)

I don´t really consider EPS to be a subplot, but a parallel main story, as it has such a great impact on the world of our character...a "support back-up" story.

Ok, my turn.
Subplot 16) Just what is on the 14th floor of the Amartment Complex, what happened that made Sam close it off to even his closest friends? Hinted at in one of Pro's posts, but will not be further developed for some time.

Subplot 17: Not a subplot, at all. Merely, the driving force of why Turkish is even here. Who is he? Where does he come from? Why is he here? Even he doesn't know. And won't for a LONG time to come. So, really, just ignore this. And, Grimm, you DON'T need to know the details! Writing is fun when it's an exploration of the unknown, not an anally-planned detailed map, already studied..... ....wuss. ![[wink]](images/icons/wink.gif) ![[HA! HA!]](laugh.gif) BTW, is it just me, or is Chewy becoming a bit harsh and serious lately? What happened to that soft and fuzzy Walrus that I knew so long ago? Great. TOMB really mellowed me out, and drove most of my cynicism away. And, now, Chewy's going over to the Dark Side..... ![[no no no]](graemlins/nono.gif)

. . .Right. So Turkish enters the party and begins exploring his newfound sexuality by shooting and killing twelve prostitutes, then having his way with their remains. What? That's not what you meant by exploring the unknown?

...can we just chalk this down to Danny's advanced immune system and forget about it? The story kinda went in a different direction before I could do anything with it.

This subplot is officially coming to a head and will be finished next story. So we can cut it from the list

This will not be developed for a long time (or if we return to Thunder City anytime soon). But I do have a plan

Um, maybe he took the guys skin and has stepped into his life. And maybe the Men In Black got him? He's wearing an Albert "Suit." :)

There is an old man which sends young women into secret missions: so far, we have seen him connected to Crasher (his daughter?), Ameristar and Nadia (the true identity of ex MBL member Sonja)
The old man is a perv and he wants to make sex videos between young woman and superhuman metas (and all the girls are really only 17!!! ![[eh?]](images/icons/confused.gif) )

4 Months, 16 days, 21 hours, 14 minute and 12 seconds, to be exact.

I think this is less of a subplot and more of a "history" lesson. Mandelovia hates American. Their ruler has a favor the MBL owes him. Nothing esle really developing there though.

So far, we have seen only one mission of the “future” Eurostar, during the Mandelovian adventure.
It was stated (in one of Chewy's posts I believe) that the whole Time Trust thing/mission that Eurostar was susposed to go on was just a trap so Walker could capture Eurostar. As I see it, Walker made an agreement with The Time Trust and inturn he handed over Eurostar. The "future" eurostar was only an illusion. So we can cut this subplot from the list. (that's two down ![[mwah hwah haa]](graemlins/devil.gif) )

When the big thing was killed, I thought everyone with it in there systems were freed (including a whole city). Now, what Chewy has been using has been a specially created modified verson of the Pathogen. Cut this one too.

Read my last post and the first post that Euro wrote about the 'revolution.' The Pathogen was (apparently) latent in a few metas, who may have passed it along to others (I'm assuming that's the case, at any rate). Also, in my last post, I revealed the identity of the guy the EPS made Euro fight, who, according to the story, still had the Pathogen in his system. In Danny, it's not a big deal. We'll say he's been cured. However, a few other metas (only in Chicago and New Mexico) even have the Pathogen anymore...

This I never understood. How and why would TTT make an agreement with Walker? What could Walker possibly have to offer him in return?

I see many possibilites that they can have in common. TTT could have much use for Walker and the EPS.
Or maybe, Eurostar some how defied time/space and TTT set things right by letting him get captured. All part of a big master plan that TTT has to deal with a future crisis.

Ehy, go back and read the story!
After the mess of my post there, I retconned it, and Chewy retconned his own!
Both my idiot multiple Eurostar attack, and Chewy's stupid Sicily incursion are now only DREAMS made by Eurostar, after he entered the EPS Headquarter and was captured and put to slep by Walker.
It's written!
The whole Eurostar of the future plot was created from a post by Naecken, and it is still intact, although I don't plan at all to bring it back.
Maybe, when I will have time and inspiration, I will write a solo story about the "future" Eurostar, but for now I see it only as an hommage to the old "Eurostar in space" saga at Yahoo.
And now two other subplot:
Subplot 18: A safer place
Crime-rate in Europe is lowering impossibly fast.
Subplot 19: Out of the big top
Mr Wong, the owner of the Circus where the Revolutionaries took refuge in their first days, after the destruction of the circus has created a teathre show with some of the former circus performers. Their shows is only a cover fro their criminal activities. As a base, they use the "Sardella's brothers" van, a circus van where Mxy and Kristogar built in a tessaract headquarter.

Subplot 20: The four survivors on the south sea island where Naecken was created...but don´t worry as you have seen if you´ve re-read the whole story they have popped up now and then, obviously trying to track down Naecken, and that story will be dealt with later. For now they are stuck inn Europe, without money.

I retconned nothing. If left up to me, the "stupid Sicily incursion" would have stayed intact. I've never retconned anything in my life... ever.

It is retconned, anyway, because, without Eurostar never having succeded in taking Eddie away from Walker, it was impossible fro him to traking Euro to Sicily. Euro never went to Sicily, he was caught right in the EPS Headquarter.
It doesn't depend on you, only on what went before.
And I hope that with this, ALL is explained about that infortunate episode. :)
