Noted. Even then it seems unrealistic, though and we have no idea of the outcome of all the other skirmishes. There were a couple of buildings that went up in smoke, sure, but even then a company of that size should have been able to recover, or pull the rest of the economy down with it.<br />
<br />
It's also implied in these that the only branches assaulted were ones in the scientific fields, most likely the ones where genetic experimentation took place. At least no evidence to the contrary is offered,…

Not really. This is a company that would employ many thousands of employees across the globe, and was a major provider of almost every sort of product. If Itex really did go belly up there would mass unemployment, coupled with shortage of whatever they make, and less competition. Less stuff means that whatever is left is rarer, ie. more expensive, and less competition means the other providers can get away with putting up the prices, or keeping them up once they've rectified the supply to meet…

I never really thought Itex was shut down. It wasn't explicit about that at the end of the third book, just that they'd succeeded in destroying that one branch, and then Max thought they did when thinking back on it. Most likely Itex is still operating, but the genetic research arm was suspended until they could recover the research and rebuild the facilities. It seems implausible, at the very least, that a corporation of that size could fall to pieces because a bunch of kids destroyed one building, however key a building that may be.

Here's some plot elements that could still be done to turn the series around:<br />
<br />
1) Max eraserfies.<br />
2) Angel Snaps<br />
3) Someone looses their wings (preferably Max)<br />
4) Government turns out to be running Itex as a DoD contractor and is out to kill the flock too.<br />
5) Foreign government (like china) puts a ton of military resources towards capturing the flock.<br />
6) Death-dates.<br />
7) Powers result in out-of-control mutations and need to be stopped.<br />

8) Wing GE technology public domain, flock has to face concept of no longer being unique.<br />
9) Global Thermonuclear War (I was kind of bummed when it didn't happen).<br />
10) Another genetically altered group from another country with a similar company doing a similar project and running away for similar reasons.<br />
