Interestingly enough, the Prodigy's plan here actually makes sense - he's trying to get kids to stay on his retreats and have hot monkey love so they'll get pregnant, and he'll then ship the resulting rugrats off to Intellectia as slave labor. So basically he's a slave farmer. As this kind of plan goes, it makes sense - which makes it practically unique for this sort of comic. I don't know HOW many of these things I've read have villains who are only there to make a point - I read an anti-smoking one once where Spidey, Storm and Power Man went up against the evil Smoke Screen! And what was the evil Smoke Screen's plan? Why, he was a mob boss, and he planned to get a high school track star hooked on cigarettes so he'd lose the upcoming race AND THE MOB COULD BET AGAINST HIM! That was his big plan, his path to fame and glory. Oh yeah, THAT makes sense. To be fair, SS LOOKED awfully cool - he had a big purple cloak, and was constantly surrounded by billows of thick gray smoke, which made for an interesting visual - but the man just couldn't deliver.
