Thwarted at Every Turn

Are there any truly evil deeds left? I’m sure there are, but my frustration is high. The yearning to commit despicable deeds is alive and well in me, yet when planes are flown into skyscrapers, cafes are blown up, and illegal wars are begun by major nations, what’s an average, everyday Lex Luthor to do?

In the age of terrorism and power run amok how can a young upstart doer of dastardly deeds make his mark? The amount of money I have spent on building plans and schematics makes me sick and I only get sicker when I realize that my plans will never be carried out because they pale in comparison to those done by more established villains. Al Queada anyone?

There must still be a place for poisoning the water supply or holding the mayor hostage in his own office. Anarchy is a noble cause for someone like me, but all the good stuff has been done before. I know everyone wants to see bad guy weep and they may just get their wish.

I can’t do this anymore. Looks like a postal service job is my only option.
