**What’s your supervillainy rampage?  
Minnesota gays and lesbians are very sorry…**

Yeah, sure, gay supervillains _always_ say they’re sorry once they get _caught_! They never seem to be sorry when they’re building that Orbital Rainbow Death Ray though. Or for that matter when they kidnap fundy preachers and turn them into mutated monstrosities, but I’ll give them a pass on that.
