We’re not exactly privy as to how exactly the musical instrument influences those exposed to its sound, but The Infinity Man’s destruction of the “Demon’s Organ” confirms the device’s sinister intent! After basking in the sound of his hypnotized audience members at the start of “Life vs. Anti-Life,” Glorious Godfrey tells his flock, “I hear<\/em> you, right thinkers! You’re shouting Anti-Life<\/em> — the positive<\/em> belief!” Behind him we see a fellow playing a high-tech organ bellowing out monstrous notes. “Listen,” the preacher beckons, “as the great<\/em> organ catches your words and finds the wonderful<\/em> music in them! And what am I, Glorious Godfrey<\/em>, but another<\/em> poor instrument that vibrates to your message? And I say, come to me! And I shall give you the power to wield death!<\/em>”<\/p>\n

An evil<\/em> wind that rushes from your throat<\/em> — and this Demon’s<\/em> Organ! Which must be destroyed!<\/em>\u201d The amalgamated character’s hand begins a Kirby sizzle as the organist flees and Godfrey protests, “No! No! <\/em>You can’t!<\/em>\u201d But, yes, yes, with a “ZZZOWWSSHHH,<\/em>\u201d he does and the musical instrument is destroyed, as IM tells us, “Its sonic chords<\/em> will no longer stimulate the brute<\/em> instincts that drive<\/em> men into your service!”<\/p>\n

I’m betting it’s safe to assume the translated sounds of the “Demon’s Organ” — the rantings of the converted are filtered in and some kind of controlling power comes out of the instrument — are what makes the Justifiers such zealots, though the recruits do appear predisposed to persecuting those they hate…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
