introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Notice that Trace refers to the group as “the rats”, not as “security” or “the strong arm of the High Council”. It may be, as a few people have mentioned before, that the rats aren’t a human-normal byproduct of the mutations (too many identical members of one species). If this is the case, then perhaps there’s a class-struggle issue between the mutants, and whatever it is that the rats came from. This could give us 3 known distinct groups – unmutated human Topsiders, humans-turned-mutants, and rats.
