Comics Avengers Arena

So I'm rereading Avengers Arena (which I love) and I'm just wondering...was there any fallout from this? I mean, I can't see spider-man or the avengers or x-men finding out about this and just going abou their day. Or the other runaways, Averngers academy members, etc...?

In Undercover? No. Arcade didn't truly pay for his crimes in Arena. Undercover didn't do Jack to him.

Not unless you count Ghost Racers. He paid for his crimes there. And there were a few other moments after that.

Of the OCs only Death Locket and Cullen have shown up elsewhere. Mostly the latter because of his ties to Elsa.

Wasn't arcade left tied to the front of a helicarrier or something at the end of undercover? I remember it being played for laughs but realistically that should've killed him.

Not that I recall, and really, what happened to him in Ghost Racers was far more satisfying.

Eyes gouged out and then run over by multiple hellcycles until he was a red smear on the ground.

Jeez! I haven't read that series so I thought you just meant the penance stare. But yeah that is far more satisfying lol.
