===BLACK OPS===
Many characters and stories adopted a paramilitary style. Instead of superheroes, characters were “special operatives” often working for a government, corporation, or organization. Elements of the espionage and action-adventure genres seeped into the comics. Costumes tended to be less flashy, more body armor and camouflage, military-style jumpsuits. Characters often adopted military attitudes, ranks, and backgrounds.
Iron Age villains also took on a more practical and political tone. Terrorists of various stripes became common, along with gangsters and druglords (reflecting the 1980s “War on Drugs”). Villains were more likely to be found in boardrooms and they controlled international networks of influence. Solo villains were often psychotic serial killers and similar monsters.
