The four rules of freelance villainy are as follows: Always wear a mask Never hurt civilians Never kill the heroes you’re paid to fight. And the bad guy always loses. But there's an unspoken fifth rule: Don't get involved with heroes off the clock. Too bad that's not an option after taking down Teklin. And even worse, it's with the Heroes of Earth, one of the biggest hero orgs in the world! Apparently, they have some concerns about me founding a new evil organization. Just because I have a home death ray, an evil lair, and a trio of gorgeous villainess lovers, not to mention a demoness who's taking a vacation in my house. And I really don't have time to deal with heroes. Because a group of mad scientists called the Brain Trust are after my psychic villainess, all to power a machine to either take over the world, or ensure everyone flosses. Just another day as a Villain for Hire.
