I do feel like a roaming hall monitor.

College town locals who never went to said college are an interesting breed

A 90/10 split on your opinions? We'll need to renegotiate terms for your season 2 reprise. We recently started calling our son The Eavesdropper, for his superhuman ability to overhear conversations from great distances/through multiple walls. It's a superpower with real villain potential, say the proud parents.

It's really great to see kids take an early interest in proper villainy. If any local armored billionaires give him trouble, tell him to aim for the emotional issues.

The Immortal In-Law always sits in the front seat next to the driver, otherwise she gets car sick.

I spend an inordinate amount of time in the Ozarks/Plain States and cooked meat is the only thing which keeps me sane. Eat up -- but keep your head on a swivel.

I could use a small security detail. Maybe some bat-armor.

Wait a minute...do the same five villains make up each bracket? So they're facing off against themselves?

I accidentally put Crock twice, but these are *intended* as five different blocks. Substack might be glitching out if you see a full repeat.

Ah! The single duplicate you mentioned made me think the others were clever ways of pointing at the same villains through different wording. For example, I could argue that "Marketable Mime", "Malformed Mobster", "Puzzle Prankster", and "Tricky Thief" all refer to the Joker.

But I guess I was just overthinking it. XD
