The Mob of the Maroon Magpie was one of the Strangely-Colored Secret Societies of the Prime Universe.
History
The sentient magpies that made it up were among the creatures genetically engineered by Professor Scarper of the First Horde using a mutagen initially developed to create creatures loyal to the Horde. Even after the Horde stopped funding Scarper's experiments, erasing all knowledge of themselves from him or them, this meant that Scarper's creations were compelled to form Strangely-Colored Secret Societies of their own. The magpies followed this pattern, arranging themselves into the Mob of the Maroon Magbie, (PROSE: The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies) under the leadership of Doctor Jeckle and Mr Heckle. Their primary purpose was to steal and hoard miscellaneous items, a hobby which brought them great joy.
Acquiring a H.Q., the Maroon Magpies accumulated a number of stolen properties over the decades, including “a surprising amount of cakes decorated with purple rabbit heads”. They also discovered the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' “emergency supply warehouse” on the Prime Earth and raided it repeatedly, stealing a great supply of Cupid Arrows. The Crew eventually caught on and ent the Scarlet Wings to investigate. The Scarlet Wings operatives were able to trail the Magpies back to their lair where, after a brief scuffle, they agreed to negotiate over a cup of tea. The Magpies offered to help the Cupids in their romanticising if the Cupids would let them keep stealing more Arrows, as well as store their increasingly large hoard in the Cupid Homeworld.
The Cupid authorities refused to ratify this agreement and attempted to obviate the need for negotiations by increasing the security measures of the Cupid warehouse, with little success. A second Cupid detachment was sent back to the Magpies' H.Q. to romanticise them, but it was found that this only increased their enthusiasm for theft, failing to solve the Cupids' problem. Ultimately, the Cupid Parliament decreed that the Cupids should simply remain neutral towards the Magpies and avoid them altogether. The Magpies solved their storage problem by building a larger warehouse, while the Cupids moved their own hoard of Arrows to some other location unknown to the Magpies.
