You know, I think we have identified the people responsible for the current financial crisis...

it all makes perfect, horrible sense now.

[his_spiffynesss]

Yes it does.

I mean, if you are a bunch of mad scientists who keeps getting beaten up by the heroes, it kind of makes sense to change approaches towards global domination. Why waste all that money on secret bases and doomsday weapons when you can start a hedge fund? It's not like evil minions in that business are hard to find.

That was pretty much the Headmen's M.O., even in those old '70s Defenders stories: Investment schemes, selling illegal tech to foreign governments, running their own Presidential candidate.... Steve Gerber was way ahead of the curve in realizing how real-world supervillains operate.

[his_spiffynesss]

I never read any of their Defenders stories, it would be kind of interesting to see them back in action.

[crabby_lioness]

Didn't Astro City do that plot?

[kamino_neko]

Is the dude whose head is apparently made out of play-doh giving Gorilla Man the finger?

'Chondu, you fool! You've eaten Fort Knox!' *giggles*

[skjam]

Ah, the Headmen. Simultaneously one of the silliest and one of the sneakiest villain groups in the Marvel Universe. And so very easy to underestimate.

[his_spiffynesss]

Exactly! It does strike me that if they were to actually play to their strengths like Arthur the Gorilla Man is suggesting, they might be a formidable threat.

The Headmen are the greatest Supervillain Team ever and should be in every Marvel Comic ever. I mean, c'mon! How can you not fucking love Ruby Tuesday??

[halloweenjack]

Ruby Tuesday extending a pseudopod to drink with is both sublimely horrifying and sublimely hilarious.

[proteus_lives]

Isn't it?

Such a wonderful character, too little used.

[wonderwomanhero]

I remember when they were in Heroes For Hire (Misty's team).

Here in America, Ruby Tuesday is a restaurant chain.

[proteus_lives]

"Here in America, Ruby Tuesday is a restaurant chain."

That was her plan all along...

[shatners_bassoon]

From supervillain to restaurant chain...pretty certain Cobra pulled something like that once.

[blackruzsa]

That method of drinking in the first panel is so intriguing.

Draaaaaainage......

Ruby Thursday DRINKS...YOUR...MILKSHAKE!!!!!!
