Fresh new supervillains have to have their HQs out in the 'burbs. <BR/><BR/>You can't even build a TerrorDome under the Potomac anymore, since the riverbed is so clogged with them that the EPA is giving the local villains grief.<BR/><BR/>It's just not the same.<BR/><BR/>On a more serious note, Devon's right, and it's weird.
