Of course bee cannons don’t work underwater. Why would you think otherwise?

Oh, random odd thought that’s all… I seem to recall you having a bee cannon, and then you mentioned Poseidonis and I got this mental image of the problems with firing a bee cannon underwater in defence of your lair.
Off topic sorry… technical business analyst by trade; problem / solution focused. 😃

Underwater, one uses electric eel cannons. But not against Aquaman. That clearly is not going to work.

…also visions of winged monkeys in scuba suits and some very _James Bond_-ian underwater action sequences…
(The telecommunications technical solution design I’m reviewing is riveting reading… really…)

Can Aquaman overcome mind controlled (or even remote controlled) fishes? Heck, can he control sea creatures at all, or just ask them for help?

Just a related side note: If you watch or don’t watch _The Venture Bros_;
Vatican Karate Gorillas.
That is all.

The trouble with sending a terribly vile person into the Phantom Zone is that he or she would simply be replaced by someone else, potentially someone more competent. Therefore, I will not choose anyone I find particularly evil.
I will send Scott Baio.

I would have thought that if you fire the eels at high enough velocity that would overcome Aquaman’s defences:
_Aquaman_: Stop little friends of the sea, do not harm me or my companions!
_Electric Eel shot from cannon_: Arrrrrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh _WHACK_ Sorry.

I think Vick is disqualified from the PZ. Sure he did the crime. But he did the time.

your list is my list, except I’d put Omar Assad el-Bashir of Sudan in at number one. With a bullet. Maybe we can pull Chavez out to make room.

Seriously. Why does he think you fled to an underwater entrechment in the first place?!

No, that was just so I could build my fortress on Mera’s grave. Guild rules say that fi you’re going to be an arch-enemy you have to add insult to injury on a regular basis.
