""Why the fuck do people in the Marvel universe keep hiring Arcade to kill people? He has never successfully killed anyone, ever. His hitman success rate is exactly 0%. Wolverine has killed more innocent people than Arcade.
If you give a crack addict 20 dollars, he will step on Peter Parker's neck and shoot him in the face with a shotgun. This will kill him. If you give Arcade one million dollars, he will build an elaborate psychological deathtrap and make sure to include a way out for the intended victim because he finds this more noble and dignified.
Basically, Arcade is a bad con artist with a bad bowtie.
"Yeah, sure, I'll take your million dollars and kill Professor X. No problem. I have always wanted to make a robotic ghost of Professor X's dead mother and fill a Jean Grey sex doll with yellow-bellied sea snake venom. Make that check out to Arcade; one word!"
Do you really have to tell the hitman that you hire NOT TO NOT KILL THE PERSON YOU WANT TO KILL, OUT OF SPORT AND HIGHER NOBILITY? Wouldn't you simply hire the hitman that promises that he or she will actually do their best to kill your target?
Arcade is no professional. I would not recommend him to a friend with a problem.""
