[ WP ] After years of getting foiled by the local brightly colored superhero team , a Saturday morning cartoon villain fires his bumbling henchman , and hires a team of elite Mercenaries .

I did n't know what to do. In a fit of anger I fired every last one of those halfwits, every peon, thug, enforcer, and mad scientist in my employ.......and at the advice of my nephew who works for a `` private security contractor'', hired some professionals. These guys are absolutely efficient. I did get quite irritated at their endless research and briefings on law enforcement and military assets in the area... I mean I always focused on dealing with the local heroes union. But I had already signed the contract and could n't afford to rehire my henchmen. We started small.....A quick smash and grab on the jewelry store? only when Duke Danger had Captain Quick tied up at city hall with yet another one of his famous `` Danger Arrays''. A Military convoy carrying chemical weapons?.....no let Mistress Evil have that... as soon as one of Heroes Union shows up we hit the credit union. And so we went on, no more monologues, no more high profile kidnappings, no more insane expenditures on Death Rays ( that I have never actually seen fired, the y always seem to get smashed to bits ). Without the color coordinated outfits, turns out they thought all the heists were just local criminals, plus the resistance was so light from law enforcement being tied up with the epic battles unfolding across the city. These guys are expensive, and I miss my monologues, but I like the positive numbers in my bank account. Guess its time to throw that costume away.
