Symbolism of clover?
Dr. Staple was part of a secret society, The Clovers. Symbol for luck but ironic because they are making their own luck by taking out those who are seen as powerful as Gods. They argue that they can’t have Gods walking among men. It creates a divide between those who have and have not. Also ironic because they are doing what they are trying to eliminate. By taking out these heroes, the Clovers become the strongest force in society.
