	On villainy I would say that entertainment factor is far more important than prowess. I'll take the Joker in drag doing nothing more than freaking out Superboy at prom and being entertaining than a dull uber powerfull villian dropping satailites on cities just to show how cool he is.

And there-in lies the heart of what's missing from Prometheus, the realization that he does villainy (not crime, villainy) as a way to "nyah-nyah" super-heroes. He wouldn't drop satellites on cities because anyone can take credit for that. Whatever he does has to be face-to-face with the hero, so he can brag about it. That's his shtick, and it's his weakness. The reason Huntress one-ups him is because she's boring, she's not an A-class hero, she's small fish that he doesn't think about.

	Exactly. He needs to be shown as a threat to superheros and not the world. (Reply to this) (Parent)
