The problem with having Messiah barely show up though is how can we see he is a reasonable threat. I always found the villain who punished his underlings for failing more threatening through his henchman's fear alone. We never see any of that with Enter or Escape, with Enter being slightly annoyed more than anything.
And besides, if I was an evil overlord with an army why would I want to do all the dirty work I have henchmen to do it for me.
That is true too. Apart of me is skeptical about Messiah's so called true power.
