    About this ebook

    Things haven't gone well for Chris lately.

    His girlfriend dumped him, and now every time they argue, he literally fears for his life.

    He's been fighting with his friends. They used to know how to party, but now everybody but him has gotten old. They all need to go home early because their wife is calling or they have to pick their kids up from the game. Nobody wants to take over the world anymore, or even cause some widespread panic.

    Is it time for a change? Or is it just time to focus on what he does best--being a super villain?
