| Scorpio Theatre presents Supervillain! Why is it that all supervillains seem to make the same fatal errors - keeping captured spies alive unnecessarily, revealing their devious plots at the exact wrong moment, building an easily exploited flaw directly into their plans to take over the world? Hank Scorpio would love to know the answer to this question, but he'll settle for avoiding their mistakes. He looks to his staff (his faithful Grand Vizier, lustily named female enforcer, mysterious prophet, and an army of nameless goons) to make his vision of holding the world hostage with a Doomsday Device come true without falling into any of the usual traps that have tripped up his predecessors. Jack Bunt sees no reason to change the time-honoured methods of the spy industry - a multitude of gadgets, willingness to seduce the female members of the enemy organization (or your own, if there is nothing better to do), and unshakable confidence in your own invincibility. His new assistant, Jessica Sidoskyk, would prefer to be a bit more subtle, but Jack is having none of it. Will superspy Jack be able to foil Scorpio's plan? Will Hank's fresh outlook make him victorious in spite of his stereotypical cast of henchmen? Join Scorpio Theatre for a hilarious look at the spy genre and the character that (sort of) gave us our name.
