The City Council Meeting


I love our City Council meetings! I can’t think of a better way to spend a Wednesday evening. Every week it’s the same thing, the first half of the meeting they spend discussing what new and dangerous items are being developed or are going to be shipped through town, and how they plan to protect them. They talk about which hero will be where, and what new kinds of security systems they have installed. It’s like watching the home shopping network and the DIY channel at the same time. All my choices are neatly laid out in front of me and then they give me a step by step brake down of all of the obstacles I would face should I choose to go after one of those options. Who needs a vast network of spies when all you have to do is hit the city council meeting twice a month?

And as if that is not entertaining enough, the last half of the meeting is usually spent discussing what they like to call their “villain problem”, in other words, ME!

Normally Captain Cool presides over this portion of the meeting. Which only adds to the entrainment value. He answers questions from concerned citizens, takes credit for things he did not do and lays out his latest formula on how he plans to defeat me.   Throw in some popcorn and ice cream and you are looking at an all-around fun filled night out.

 The last few weeks have left me drained, and I was in desperate need of a good laugh. So Cat and I put on our civilian costumes, grabbed a few snacks and headed for the meeting.  We like to sit in the empty seats towards the back of the room. This way, when we snicker at Captain Tool we look more like adoring fans then mocking adversaries. However this evening it was clear seating was going to be an issue.  The room was jam packed with blue-haired old bitties in support hoes. We were forced to take seats in the front. Which meant we would be that much closer to Captain Cool and his Ax Body spray fog of repulsion, but it also meant he was with in Milk Dud tossing range, so it was all good.

The whole room buzzed, like a hive of busy-body-bee at a neighborhood picnic. It was impossible to hear what brought all of these women out during prime-time. Weren’t they all in danger of missing the Dancing With the Starts result show?  Something big was going on. 

Cat and I were so busy speculating with each other on what would bring so many vintage victoria's out in such a large mass as this, I didn’t see him until he took the seat next to me. Super Stud in all his costume glory was sitting right next to me!

 My first feeling was that of relief. The fact I did not notice him until I heard that husky musical voice of his say, ”Good evening Ladies is this seat taken?”  meant he did not have an allurement aura that over powers any victim that happens to get within its energy field. This coupled with him having no effect on Cat means the chances that this distorted impression thing being a super power is highly unlikely.  Had is powers been aura generated I would have felt him, long before I saw him. This is good news, this means he must have used a manmade weapon on me, if that is the case it is only a matter of time before I find the formula to counter act the effects.

My second feeling was that of crushing disappointment. He smiled and all my hopes of a man made reversible device melted in a pool of despair that surprisingly felt a lot like desire. No man made device could cause that kind of reaction. Maybe it was some kind of Poisson.  My heart started to flutter in panic. I lost the ability to speak.  And when our eyes met, I thought I saw recognition flash in his mocha flecked green orbs.  I knew I was panicking, there was no way he could recognize me. But he flashed me that impetuous smile of his and I almost fainted. Thank God the meeting was called into order at that very moment.
I was so busy trying to communicate my panic to Cat, through silence yet expressive facial expressions that I missed the first topic of the evenings meeting. It was not until Super Stud stood up and said. “Excuse me respected Counsel Members, I know I am new here, but I wonder if you think it is wise for us to discuss such sensitive information in a public forum for all to hear? This city does have a super villain problem.” This time it was unyielding rage that stole my voice from me. Cat put her hand on my knee to remind me I was in my civilian dress and could not risk exposure or I would have killed him on the spot.

Luckily Councilman Balling is a pompous man and does not take constructive criticism well. He laughed and said, “Look around Super Stud do you see any Evil geniuses in this room? We are perfectly safe. But I thank you for your concern.” I swear Super Studs eyes shifted towards me at that moment and I thought I saw him wink. It all happened so fast and I was trying not to hyperventilate so I cannot be sure.
  
I better hire some new spies; now that the suggestion has been made it may be only a matter of time before that buffoon Balling thinks it’s his idea to curb the free flow of information. See if I vote for him again.

Just then one of the little old dames jumped to her feet and yelled, “I would like to know what the city is doing about that evil fiend Catastrophic?” I think Cat almost fell out of her chair she was so delighted. No one had ever called her a fiend before. Let alone high jacked the City Council meeting because of her.

“Is that the one who throws cats into trees? She is nothing but an adolescent prankster. She is nothing to concern yourselves with.”Boomed Balling.

“She threw my poor Sr. Wellington-Archibald Fluffy Bottom the third into a tree last week it took three hours to get him down!  Something has to be done!” shouted another gray haired lady behind us who also jumped to her feet and waved a photo of a gray and white smash faced cat in a lace bonnet around. A mummer of angry grannies filled the room.

“Ladies, Ladies” Balling had to bang his gavel several times to bring the room back in order.   “We do not have the resources to allocate defending cats from a childish prankster. Our money is better spent fighting the Nightmare!”

Now normally I would get a kick out of such a comment, but the hurt look on Cats face broke my heart. She really is trying so hard, to have the counsel dismiss her in such a way had to sting. For the second time that night my rage threatened to overpower me.

“Esteemed Counsel members if I may,” Once again Super Stud stood and addressed the counsel and of course  the a/c picked that moment to kick on and his cape waved majestically as he stood adding to his hero quality. I think several of the grannies sighed at the sight,  ( I know I did ) “I have face Catastrophic in person and  I think it would be unwise to underestimate this problem. It seems to me that cat tossing is a gateway crime. It may be only a matter of time before this villain moves on to harder things. She is not as docile as she seems. We do not want to be caught unprepared. I suggest we create a small task force to address this issue.” Cat jumped to her feet and started to clap, luckily she was in the right crowed and did not blow her cover because all of the gray haired cat lovers erupted in to applause at the same time. Photos of overdressed cats were thrown in the air.

“Very well someone call Aaron and let him know he is the new Catastrophic task force.” Cat was buzzing with excitement for the rest of the meeting. I however, couldn't wait for it to end. I was in a painful quandary. Super Stud almost ruined my best source of information and for that he needed to be destroyed. At the very same time he gave my best friend the one thing she had been working so hard for, recognition. And despite my hatred for him my loyalty to Cat demanded I let him live….for now.

 To my great horror after the meeting Cat wanted to thank in him person. I told her this was not a good idea, but she said with all of the little old ladies thanking him, he would think they were just avid cat lovers and not the villains.  And her logic was sound. Except I still had not told her about the un natural power he had over me. Or the odd looks he had been giving me all night. “Come on!" she pleaded "Besides this will give you an opportunity to observe him in a way other than combat, maybe you can learn something you can use.” I hate it when she is right.

He greeted Cat graciously and allowed her to hug him. She actually wiped away tears of gratitude. There was something in his smile, a knowing glance that made we wonder if he knew who she was as well.  I find this possibility of astuteness in him dangerously alluring.  And before I could stop myself I was offering my hand to him. “ Our city is lucky to have you Super Stud.” I was shocked I didn’t choke on the words as they came out.  As he took my hand in his to shake it, a jolt of electricity shot through me, not enough to maim or even wound it was more slight then that. A chemical reaction on the cellular level. Defiantly a chemical reaction. I am not even sure he felt it. 

“Have we met before?” He asks while doing that smoldering thing with his eyes again. “I don’t think so.” I said trying to regain my hand. But he would not let it go. “No I am sure of it, we have met before.”

“In a dream, Maybe.” I said snidely, although Cat said it sounded more wispy, but it was snide I am sure. 

“Possibly,” He said and his eye brow rose up in that quirky way of his. “I have been plagued with the most pleasant dreams since moving here.”

Thankfully that is when Cat interrupted us, and whisked me away quickly. She told me she didn’t like the way I was looking at him, like I had fallen under a spell. I broke down and told her everything.   After about thirty minutes of her singing   Nightmare and Super Stud sitting in a tree K I S S I N G  she promised to help me figure out a way not only to discover what the weapon is, but how to reverse the effects.

This time next week I will finally have answers.

Super Stud=Super Confusing




I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!!!!! What is wrong with this guy?

Everything was working in our favor. The Tri-County Senior Citizen Cat Show and Tea was in town.  Hundreds of white haired ladies and their pompous prized pussy cats all gathered in one spot, Hero’s Park. This is flanked by the beautiful and huge high trees of the Forrest.   It was a perfect day, one designed with Catastrophic in mind.

Cat was in fine form. We reconstructed the fluff modulator I gave her so that it was now part of her utility belt.  Cat jetted in and out of the crowd while she snatched, fluffed and threw, snatched, fluffed and threw those furry little varmints to her hearts content. While little gray haired ladies twittered around panicked, fanning themselves with their lacy hankies in utter shock and dismay. It was beautiful! I have never been so proud of her.

 Just as expected Super Stud came to the rescue. You should have seen his face when Cat landed the first knock down blow. He, like so many others before him, underestimated her. He won’t be making that mistake again anytime soon.

I was wrong about his fighting skills; they are very good, maybe even better than my own. He lasted longer in combat with Cat then I ever have.  I think she was going easy on him. If she took him down too quickly he would not have a chance to pull out the weapon.  What I do not understand is that he never used it. He was clearly out gunned; he must have known she was just toying with him. Why then would he not use it like he did on me…twice!   After about 30 minutes, and he still had not used it, I could see Cat was getting bored so I signaled her the okay to shut things down, which she did quite handily.

 Why didn’t he use it?

To make matters worse I am now questioning my theory that he has super human attraction abilities. Cat is totally unaffected. She called him cute….Cute?  If I had any question about her immunity, like maybe she was embarrassed and just didn’t want to talk about it, the cute comment cleared that up. The cats she threw in the tree were cute. Super Stud is nothing short of magnificent.  

It was a stupid theory anyway.  What could possibly cause super attraction? There is no spectrum of gamma radiation that can make a man smell that good. Space contamination in general, let alone at exposure levels high enough to morph DNA and create any unforeseen abilities, does not leave one smelling rain fresh.  Take The Green guy with that lantern, for example, Sure he’s nice to look at but he smells so strongly of sulfur and space ooze no one wants to be in the same room with him, and his space contamination is nowhere close to the levels, Super Stud would need to have studlyness as a power. 

I am going to wait a few days and see if maybe it takes a bit for the full effect to sink in.

The danger of a Fashion Flop and a Varmint Flinger.


 Well, so much for that big dumb Idea!  Not only did Magneto’s stupid helmet not work,  Super Stud laughed at me! He asked if I was using the same fashion consultant as Captain Cool. Sure it didn’t look as good as Mag’s, but I don’t possess the power to manipulate metal like he does.  I had to make do with an old bike helmet. That’s no reason to be mean and compare me to Captain Tool.  

The principles of the helmet were solid and it should have worked.The fact that I got hit with the weapon again, just like before, proved that theory wrong! 

I am too close to the problem to figure it out logically. I need to see it from another point of view. Cat has agreed to put her self in harms way. We are going to use her as bate.  

I know what you are thinking The woman throws cats into trees, how potent can she be?  That is the beauty of the plan. Cat has 4 amoral super jerks for brothers who used her to practice their fighting skill.  I am good but she can kick my butt 7 ways from Sunday blindfolded and with one hand tied behind her back.( when she is mad that is.)   If Super Stud felt out manned fighting me, he would be way over his head facing her. So the use of the secret weapon is certain.  I will be hiding in the bushes ready to capture it all on camera for research. 

 I have not told her the full extent of my suffering. She is not aware of the dreams, the night sweats the uncontrollable need to wear lip gloss and make sure my cape is ironed before I leave the house. I feel conflicted about not telling her, she is doing me a huge favor. But at the same time,  I need her to have as little information on the affect this sensory distortion has, so not to taint my findings. I don’t want to plant subliminal suggested seeds of possible symptoms. Kind of how like when you are watching t.v. and a commercial for restless leg symptoms comes on and next thing you know is you are up all night with an uncontrollable need to move your legs. You don’t really have restless leg you are just a victim of a subliminal suggestion seeds of a possible symptoms. 

Its for science.     

She is a good friend she will understand. 

I hope.

Coffee Stains, and Fluffy Cats




I am feeling very productive this week. First the takeover of Good Day Sacramento, and I am now sure that my favorite flunky Minion-A is not working for Super Stud! So far, other than a few minion setbacks I am feeling rather good about things.  I have been feeding Minion-A wrong information for weeks now, all leading up to the trap I set using her as bate. The plan was to send her out on a fruitless mission to see if I can coax her benefactor out of hiding.  There is no way she could have known my true plans were in fact not to steal more Paragon Isotope from Foster Labs, but to rob the carrier van that contained and seemly harmless device called the Fluff Modulator. Used by groomers all over the world to fluff those poor excuses for dogs. 


The brilliance of my plan is that I don’t need the Fluff Modulator for anything I am doing; It’s a gift for Catastrophic. In fact no one, not even I, knew of the plans to steal the Fluff Modulator today, I had planned to spend my day working on the helmet that should protect me form Super Studs Super lame power.  I had only heard of its arrival by carrier van after I had sent Minion-A on her mission of recon.

I figure if Cat insists on throwing those poor creatures up into trees, no matter how many times I tell her doing so is just mean, not evil, she is going to have to do something to make her victims more likable. By the time they get the poor beasts down they look so mangy, people tend to be more appalled at the varmints then actually feel sorry for them. I thought if she could fluff them before she throws them into the trees. Make them more cute, then mangy, maybe it would help people feel sorry for her victims and then fear her just a little bit more. Let’s face it that girl needs all the help she can get!

Had Minion-A been working for Super Stud as I first suspected, he would have been guarding Foster Labs at 3pm and not getting coffee from THE HUMAN BEAN right as I was making my get away. 


He threw his coffee at me! 


Do you have any idea how hard it is to get coffee out of cape fabric?  That crap stains like a Mother@#@#.I knew I should have scotch guarded it before I wore it out, but Noooo it was new and I wanted to wear it. I hate that Super Stud.

Luckily, my heist was so random and unexpected; he was unprepared for my sudden appearance. A supersonic scalding hot coffee bath was the worst he could do to me. I had too much of a head start. 

I am no closer to finding out who Minion-A is working for, she is held up in the woods somewhere waiting for my signal that says it is safe to return…I guess I should send up the signal…eventually. They say it’s only an 80% chance of rain tonight, so there is no hurry. In the mean time I am getting great pleasure out of picturing Super Stud scratching that deep-chocolate-sexy-TV- doctor head of hair of his trying to figure out what kind of sick, dastardly deed I have planed for a pet grooming device.

Good Day Purple Nightmare!

Yesterday’s invasion of the puny Sacramento morning show Good Day Sacramento was a complete success. Not only did I dominate the screen, the Hydro-Graymatter control amplifying cone was successfully hooked up to their news feed and only awaits my order to turn it on. I also arranged for two of my M.O.Ms (minions of the month) to meet a legend among lackeys, Allan Sanchez, the Good Day crews head flunky, making me a sure win for this year’s Grovelers Globe’s Villain of The Year. I mean I am a big fan of Magneto and all, but 3 years in a row! COME ON! Does he even serve Pizza on Fridays? No!

 I have to say I like that Cody Stark. He has a soft and playable mind, like silly putty, and he has a healthy curiosity of evil etiquette. I feel he is like Cat and a victim of the goodie- goodie-let’s- all- hold-hands-and-sing-happy-songs environment of the show he is on. Amy his co- host is bubbly doe eyed saccharin sweet provocateur of goodness. I am sure she is an operative for the other side sent to keep Cody on the straight and narrow. I suspect she hides a box of kittens under her desk, she is just that type. Poor Cody does not have a chance. For this, Amy has earned a place on my Wall of Hate (for that and all the smack talk she gave out before the show. I don’t take kindly to smack talk)

 I have decided to take Cody under my wing and am currently looking into making him a possible scholarship student at the Menace Correspondence School of Malintent. The courses have done wonders for Catastrophic’s anger development. Currently Professor Menace is not taking any new students so this may take some time. In the meantime I will have to follow Cody’s progress closely. Now all I have to do is flip the switch to the Hydro-Graymatter control amplifying cone and all of the Good Day viewers will become mindless servants to my every whim. (Maybe this way I can finally get a decent cup of coffee, henchmen are always too heavy handed with the hazelnut).

But first I must figure out a way to deflect Super Studs power of studdliness. I had to make some alterations to the plans Mag Sent over, the helmet is almost done.

Part one of me on the show
Part 2 of me on the show

Mind Control-Not Just for Jedis Any More!


I have infiltrated a local T.V. station in the inessential  town of Sacramento Ca. ( Its not Australia, but its a start)  These pathetic fools have fallen pray to my awesomeness,  They cower at the mere mention of my name! And now tomorrow they will hand over the broadcast of the local morning show to ME The Purple Nightmare, Evil Genius, Esquire, graduate of The Professor Menace Correspondence School of Malintent and member of the Evil League of Evil and now future star of Good Day Sacramento.These fools actually invited me to be the show! As if I would stop there!  They have handed me the keys to their doom! 
In preparation of this take over, I have had my minions working day and night to finish Hydro-graymatter control amplifying cone to hook up to the news feed. If successful the viewers of Good Day Sacramento will soon be under my power. 
 This would good time to send a shout out to Minion K. He has collapsed in exhaustion for all of his hard work on this project, but I don’t do those sort of things. Minion K has 20 minutes to get back to work or he shall feel my wrath.
