It was one of those jarring corrections that often spoke of implicit other meanings, but Chilton (being a man conscious of image) didn't pursue it. No one who was that wealthy and that active in superhero antics could have discouraged interacting with Norman Osborn before the reformation. If not for ethical reasoning, it would have been ideal PR to incite conflicts with Osborn, assuming the latter had already been outed.
Or, so Chilton assumed.
"Karla Sofen was a superhero."
Chilton thrust into that line of conversation, as if it were natural discourse. It wasn't, and it betrayed his unusual interest in the woman. Unlikely to divulge his precise reasoning for his interest, Chilton's fixation was nevertheless visible.
"Or is that being too generous to her? I've been told a lot of different things."
