Title: What if.......?
Post by: OldGoat on 30 Mar 2018, 10:14
What if Tortura is Jim's ex/Sam's mom?  A career like hers would explain why she's not in the family picture.

I don't think that's plausible.

We know that Sam visits her bio-mom regularly. Tortura seems to be on Witness Protection right now; they wouldn't want her keep contact with her family unless they'd been renamed and relocated and the timeline doesn't support that.

Ah!  I missed that.

Not only that, but one of Steve's flashbacks seemed to indicate that Tortura had actually been a foreign operative, and she only became friends with him because he saved her life. Not that being a foreign operative would preclude her from marrying a local man, but in this case it makes it much less likely.

Points at historical fiction tv series The Americans from 2013 set during the Cold War.

I'd avoid calling anything "less likely" in a strip that includes sentient (albeit somewhat goofy) robots appearing in people's kitchens and trying to eat their cereal boxes.
