Arcadia Council

The Arcadia Council is a 21XX council from the Mega Man comic book series by Archie Comics that appeared in Mega Man #35. Little is known about the council and its members, except that Dr. Cain had a meeting with its members to discuss about the problems caused by Mavericks, resulting in the creation of the Maverick Hunters.

Etymology

 * The Arcadia Council may be based on the "council" mentioned in the English version of The Journal of Dr. Cain: "The council has now decided to set up a group of "Hunters" to destroy any maverick before it can cause injury.".
 * The word council means both "a committee that leads or governs" and a "discussion". It appears that the former meaning was used for the creation of the Arcadia Council, while the latter meaning may be the one originally intended as in the Japanese version, the word "会議" (meeting or conference) is used. Of note, 会議 is similar to the word "議会" (parliament or congress), both using the same kanji but inverted.


 * Arcadia may be a reference to Neo Arcadia from the Mega Man Zero series.
