Author Topic: Bored, Rich People Eryk Davis Ester Created from the Cosmic Legends of the Universe! posted                       Is it just me, or is being bored and rich not used nearly enough any more as a motivation for super-heroes and villains? From: Liberty City | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  MLLASH bite into the all-caps posted                       Another classic origin! By the way, Eryk, read GLA (Great Lakes AVengers). All the bored, rich people who don't become superheroes are doing it. -------------------- Visit the FULL FRONTAL FANDANGO & laugh along with Lash at http://lashlaugh.wordpress.com/ Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Thriftshop Debutante Terrifyingly On-Topic. posted                       Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Tamper Lad With the Scarlett Faction posted                        We all know the real reason bored rich people aren't becoming superheroes these days. They're getting better offers on Reality TV. So if the DC universe were rebooted today we'd get new series such as: Ollie Queen: Bachelor a comic about an old single guy who picks a partner amongst a group of younger single women contestants. Challenges often revolve around Queen's drug addict adopted son, such as an issue where Roy suffering the withdrawal symptoms shoots arrows at apples held by the contestants. Lex Luthor Billionaire: A comic where he gives money for life saving operations and such but only after the grant recipient are humiliated and Lexcorp gets a tax write-off.

I actually think there's a pretty good story to be told based on the notion of constumed avenging suddenly become a trend among young, rich socialites...

And both would have their sleeves rolled up while working in some kind of factory lab thing. When the female entered the room, she was usually told it was far too dangerous for her to be in there!
