No, I fail as a super-villain because every time–every SINGLE TIME-- we manage to capture the JLA, my minions say, “So, can we, um, violate Black Canary?” I, of course, say, “NO! I’m not that kind of villain!” Then a fight breaks out as I defend my villainous MO, and while that’s going on Aquaman, whom everyone but me always underestimates, manages to free his comrades, who then go to town,and in the ensuing melee Black Canary always --ALWAYS!–kicks my face in.
I tell you, it happens over and over. What am I doing wrong?
I make sure not to be the fastest car on the road, though I usually won’t drive more than about 7 mph over the speed limit. I’ve had 1 speeding ticket in nearly 40 years of driving (and that was 36 years ago) so my strategy works pretty well.
N/A.
Of course I stop. It’s the law, and you want to have time to see what is going on, including u-turners.
A baseball bat can be an excellent instructional tool.
You have to have the rules laid out in advance and strong discipline enforced consistently so that your minions KNOW that a> They can’t violate Black Canary, and b> if they break discipline and fight over it, especially to the point of losing a captive like that, you’re going to severely punish them (read: Kill them slowly, publicly and in very terrifying ways as a lesson to others).
But beyond the discipline and communications issues, I think it’s poor hiring practices. You need a better class of minions. Too bad Dr. Henry Killinger is fictional. I think he could do your organization wonders.
As you say, the point is moot with this guy, but if you were inclined to give the guy a second chance, would you have posted a thread here?
I mean, you could always pull the guy aside, catalog his errors and say “I’ll give you one bad day, but I’m not going to tolerate this behavior. If it happens again, I’m going to send you home.”
