I don’t get it. Why be a criminal mastermind, only to draw the attention of Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America or some other costumed do-gooder? They will catch you. THEY WILL ALWAYS CATCH YOU. Then, you can chill in prison for a few years. Only to repeat the cycle upon your release.

There is another way.

Obey the law. That’s it. It’s really not that hard. Think about it. Instead of using your super-genius to create a bomb that will kill Superman, create a bomb that will kill everyone. Sell it to the government and make millions. Then you can be evil, rich, and 100% street-legal. Isn’t that easier? Instead of making an android programmed to kill the Avengers, make an android that Uncle Sam can progam to kill their enemies. After giving you a cool billion or two, of course. Evil? Check. Legal? Check. Shit, you could even do something good for mankind. Instead of inventing a disease that will spread through the world and kill everyone, try inventing a cure for AIDS. Not so evil, but it would make you hella rich. Don’t do it because it’s bad or good. Do it to get rich and live free.
What better way to stick it to the man then to grow old on the outside, rich and happy? And if you get rich enough, you can do all sorts of evil things in the name of good. Be smart. Don’t join Lex Luthor, The Scorpion, Hydro-Man and their ilk! Be better than them! Do your evil in the name of good. Hide your illegal activities through shady government contracts and loopholes!

You super-villains….You’re so fucking stupid.
