Too little, too late.
Just think of how many people whose lives were ruined or even just snuffed out because of the monsters he rescued. Given that a number of them were headed to The Birdcage, I'm sure a significant number of them had massive kill counts, and if they mass-murdered before, they certainly wouldn't have stopped after.
I wonder* how many years he spent in prison for being party to the release of large numbers of mass-murdering psychopaths. He should probably have been up for at least accessory to commit quite a large number of serious crimes, including mass murder, and aiding and abetting the same.
*Not really; if the answer is "greater than zero" I'll be seriously surprised.

In canon, there's really only one prison for parahumans. Anyplace else, they can escape from on their own. In this story on the other hand? We don't know the percentage of his breakout jobs that were Birdcage transports.

People rarely think about the consequences of their actions until said consequences hit home...
As a point of real-world reference for "military prisons," Leavenworth is where most of the notorious spies are held, regardless of whether they were John Walker (USN) or Aldritch Ames (CIA). As a secondary point, MCAS Miramar also holds a high security "military" prison that regularly gets used for certain non-military convictees and as a ICE transfer point on the way to deportation, as well as military courts martial convictees.
As to Madcap? Whose that below the mask? Are we sure that it's the same person a Assault? (When "cops 'n robbers" rules apply, else, yes, he'd have a shitload of police assault, accessory to, and conspiracy to charges.)

Yes, canonically Assault use to be the villain Madcap, who specialized in prison and prison transport breakouts. He decided to change sides and was rebranded after Battery captured him. Side note, why the hell did the PR department allow those two the cape names Assault & Battery?!

Glenn Chambers thinks he's a comedian.
Assault made it a part of his deal to join the PRT that he be given the name as part of his romcom-inspired plot to 'romance' Battery.

Battery had her name first, as in "charges like a..." and Madcap insisted on being paired with her and using the name Assault as part of his conditions for flipping.
Guy was powerful/dangerous/useful enough they let him have it. He's basically immune to conventional weapons to the point where, if Lung wasn't pyrokinetic, he could probably take down Mr. Rage-Dragon singlehandedly.

A bit of column A, a bit of B. He objected to the birdcage, but charged criminals to break out their friends on the way to the bird cage.

I Think it would be more the Tera Flare myself.
As for Assult. It could be he flipped for more then one reason. Maybe someone he broke out did something that sickened him so much he went to the PRT.

the Metamagic feat "Transdimensional Spell" is your friend in that case. bumps the spell level up a bit, but rendering your Mage Armor effective against any and all interplanar effects is very nice.
Edit: and being able to hit ShadowSlut in her breaker state with an actual Lightning Bolt would be very satisfying. ^^

It is a time honored tradition, the act of urinating on nazi's. The first time I saw this, it was Silencio. Since then, I've seen it a few other places.

I need a link to that one.
Now on subject;
Still waiting fot Pigot to demand Taylor summon her projection so thy can power test it.
Some Gods don't take well to this
Personally, I'd just see if Taylor can electrify her fists. Then she can channel her inner Jotaro Kujo and give Sophia the old "Ora Ora Ora" treatment for some catharsis.

That's not a projection, and Piggot really ought to know it...

They have evidence that the cape's been around for decades before hand so its more likely they'll believe she an acquaintance Taylor budded off or was in proximity during the trigger. Plus Armsmaster has been collecting evidence Dragons exist...

Be careful with speaking badly about Nazis around here. I got an infraction for that over on Spacebattles. Twice.

And you're sure it wasn't because you were getting a massive murder-boner and/or crossing the line of good taste? Because there's a big difference between laughing at an asshole getting humiliated and advocating mass murder/torture/etc based on an ideology, and the only times I've ever seen anyone infracted is when they ended up on the wrong side of that division.
