MINOR SUPER-VILLAIN 483: THE WEB

(Big 3 004, 1941)

As a Blue Beetle villain, the Web of course wants nothing more than to take over NYC York City and is particularly ruthless in his pursuit of that goal. He attacks essential services like power and water in order to sow confusion, while also attacking targets such as orphanages to spread terror.

The Web also has an... intense relationship with his underlings. They seem to be some sort of BDSM cult? For lack of better terminology?

The Web is definitely getting off on this. I dunno about the rest of these guys - they might be brainwashed? They reflexively chant "I obey, Web!" and "the Web is great!" at every opportunity and have no substantive reaction to being beaten and abused - at the very least it constitutes henchman abuse.

But having a crack team of submissives will only take you so far and in a final pitched battle with the Blue Beetle the Web does a header onto a bomb and subsequently explodes to death. Presumably his henchmen needed a lot of therapy afterward. Unless it was consensual, of course.
