My only problem with that is that the Marines' ability isn't good for
several thousand years. The article on the implants that go into a
Marine (WD#98, and reprinted in the Compendium) says that the longest
period of suspended animation followed by successful re-animation was
567 years. (Gee, only?) While the holder of the title is a Dark Angel
(brother Silas Err of the Dark Angels, d. 321 M.27) and El'Johnson is
the Dark Angel Primarch, I don't think the ability is unlimited. Come
to think of it, the Primarchs don't even have the Marine implants... but
since they were engineered from the get-go, I guess the implants
could've been included. <shrug>
