FWIW, I don't see this fab four as really being against anything in
particular, anything you could give a name to. Nor do they seek
followers, i.e. they aren't dogmatic machines, but are instead organic
individuals. All this in contrast to AH (no, not Hitchcock) and to the
fab four's deliberately unspecified enemies. I would guess that those
enemies would be both more general, such as "control," and specific,
such as a "bad guy."
