There are criminal masterminds, and then there are these guys
Four pages from Irredeemable #3, the latest issue of Waid's series about the Plutonian, the world's greatest superhero who became its greatest villain.

Searching for some way to defeat the Plutonian, the heroes spy on a gathering of his second-string villains, in the hope that they're aware of some special weakness. The villains, hiding out from the Plutonian, are meeting in the secret HQ of dead superhero Inferno. Events take a twist, though, when the Plutonian calmly shows up.

	Irredeemable is a train wreck. It's bad but you can't look away. Even I know better than to assume Plutonian would give a weapon that could hurt him. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And it was such an obvious plot direction too. As soon as he handed them out, I was like "Some idiot's gonna push it- (though I didn't expect every single one of them to be stupid enough to do so) -and then he's gonna say that he was totally lying and they've killed themselves." And ta-da, there it went. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, not everyone. The guy who elected himself the ringleader isn't even holding one of them. It looks like he handed them all off. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I find the book entertaining on a certain level but I do get sick of evil or insane Superman knockoffs (or even ones that amoral jerks or what have you). (Reply to this)

	Apparently the 90th percentile in the Irredeemable-verse is dumber than the average citizen on Earth 616. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	That was unnecessary. Why'd he have to get them to push the buttons? Hell, why didn't he just kill them all himself? Ah, well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Because if they HAD had IQs higher than moss or the actual desire to work with him, they'd have been useful. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	This scene was so much better in The Fifth Element. Maybe this series could be improved by getting Gary Oldman to play the Plutonian. (Reply to this)
