Being a Silver Age Real Life Super Villain sucks... but not as much as being a Silver Age Real Life Super Hero. A sad fact was passed on to me recently by a follower of the whole movement. With the retirement of Citizen Prime we are now "officially" in the Silver Age.
Yes those early days of the Golden Age Real Life Super Hero have long past. Back when the world was a simple place of Terrifica warning women of the dangers of men, Super Barrio fighting for community housing, and The Capital City Super Squad making the world a better place one garbage bag and flyer at a time.
Sure there are still some Golden Age heroes around like Captain Ozone, but they are mostly laughed at as their ideals are considered old fashion and out dated. DC Guardian still holds up the flag of freedom for truth and justice but is sadly out shadowed by the steel toe brigade of terror and deception.
Nine days and counting until Kick-ass comes out. A major hero has "retired", one from long ago makes national news, another from the past resurfaces, and more than five new profile accounts are showing up per week. The future is so bright it is glowing!
5 a week?! Great Evil Below, there's a veritable army of them, all claiming group inclusion, but having no standards to meet, or screening process to pass. Yet all are... 'unconventional' thinkers. Hmmm. Quite a powderkeg, awaiting only the clarion call of a leader to lead them to their ruination. Can there be that many charities for them all to parade around for?

Another good article that asks hard hitting questions. Where DOES all that testosterone go?

Nine days and I can finally kick back and let the stupidity the 'heroes' have wrought on themselves by clinging to 'Kick-Ass' like the overly commercialized whores that they are takes its course. They think Master Legend, Tothian, and Starchaser are the worse? Wait until they see how fucking stupid and impressionable kids are these days.

Although we may not always see eye to eye, i must concur. This is a new page in the RLSH book (no pun intended Tea), and we as the new era of villains must be prepared for it. We have to hit these newcomers hard and fast like a step father to his step son. They need to be taught a lesson, but assuming they are like most youth today they are self-entitled, pampered, and egotistical little fucks they have no concept of the real world. And any attempt by us to influence them differently will result in wasted breath, which will be quite humorous when they start lashing out uncontrollably and making idle threats, what fun we will have with these deluded children. Let them think they are invincible, let them take a bullet and realize they are all a bunch of idiots, and if they don't then survival of the fittest, may the force be with them.
