[[The First World]] has attempted to put both [[The Sword]] and a group of [[Brownshirt]]s on trial, accused of bringing The Crushing Fist down on the multiverse, however the subsequent escape of the [[Brownshirt]]s from [[Teskoy Prison]] and their capture by [[The Black-eyed Army]] changed the nature of the trial, which was then held against [[Cristina Thompson]], [[Conn Thompson]], [[The Sword]] and [[Vasiliev Blaku]].
The Crushing Fist is described as such due to the way it is visualized in the structure of the multiverse. It appears as five lines of crushed worlds bubbles of universes within the structure, which gives it the appearance of a hand holding a globe. The Crushing Fist is not caused by the [[Shadow Entities]] as previously thought by [[The Council]], rather the [[Shadow Entities]] are merely taking advantage of the breaches in the [[Outer Shield]] to devour the minds of helpless victims previously protected by the shield system.
Traits:
Largely unknown, but apparently able to be described in the form of action figures. When depicted in a 3D model of the multiverse, appears as five lines of damaged universes within the sphere of the outer shield, which exists around many universes which cushion [[The First World]] and its golden inner shield. Appears to have been caused by [[The Mad God]], and may potentially be related to the presence of the [[Shadow Sphere]].
