ROACH Wreaks Havoc On Real Life Superheroes

It should come as no surprise that if you have a group of heroes, there will eventually be a group of villains to ruin the day. It’s just a fact of life really. Otherwise, what would we need heroes for?  Which is why it shouldn’t come as a shock that the World Super Hero Registry has found it’s nemesis in ROACH (The Ruthless Organization Against Citizen Heroes) .  Their goal? World domination of course. Yet like any budding group of villainy, you have to start small. The group is lead by the masked menace known as The Potentate.  Says The Potentate:

These Superheroes were content on giving sandwiches to the homeless, “inspiring” children, and if they are lucky the occasional citizen’s arrest. Hardly super activites. The Potentate felt that one could not be a Superhero without a Super-villain as a foil, and thus The Potentate shouldered the burden of lighting the torch that will ultimately burn the straw houses of heroism to the ground.

Wow. That is evil. Super-evil if you ask me.  The ROACH website includes a list of villains, as well as missions for it’s members. They also have a recruitment video! So far their are only two missions, one of which is buying a T-Shirt, but the other one I found to be hilarious:

Find a local theater showing a summer Blockbuster that has a long line out front. In whatever way possible, ruin the film for that line. You may need to see the film first, so if you yourself are in line and see a fellow ROACH leaving, you may want to cover your ears.

This is what the Joker should have done in The Dark Knight! It’s obvious that the guys behind this site are having a bit of fun at the expense of their righteous counter-parts. However, this did get me thinking if there are any Superheroes in the City of Brotherly Love?
