Batman and the Outsiders #2: Pages 15-16

So Baron Bedlam has just gotten himself Geo-Force's powers (I know, I know, quite the choice)...You think that jeep can follow him right out of the panel?

Out of the panel and out of... the comic? Yes, let's leave Batman and the Outsiders and enter the wonderful world of Our (Markovian) Men at War!
You know what Markovia really needs? A haunted tank or two.
Gregor, the prince who has no idea what "armored division" means, or he'd have the sense to plop himself down inside the tank.
The troops, proudly wearing their country flag on their helmets, and the name of their favorite radio station on their break pockets.
And the citizenry, mostly farmers which do none of them have so much as a shotgun between them.

And then... a Christmas miracle!
Oh wait, it's just the bad guys attacking with flares. Cuz a well lit battlefield is a winning battlefield.
See? If Brion was actually dead, we might have a few haunted tanks here, but nooooooooo...
...and now because Geo-Force chose to be a zombie rather than a ghost, EVERYBODY DIES!
EVERY TANK IS DESTROYED!
And EVERY PRINCE IS SHOT IN THE SHOULDER!
But wait! A new hero comes to the fore! Who is this new prince destined to lead Markovia out of the darkness of the Middle Ages imposed on our countrymen because the realm's coin has all gone to pampered noblemen and mad scientists?

Stay tuned! Same prince time, same prince channel!

I was just thinkin'. If the zap machine can give any man Geo-force powers, why didn't Bedlam convert all his private army into super powered minions. Think of it, hundreds of evil Geoforces. Bedlam is too much of an egotist to make a great world dominator.

But then could you trust all your now powerful men?

Similarly, you wouldn't raise all your troops ranks to co-ruler of the world, would you?
