Dr. Devious, truly a deadly foe if ever we faced one! But never fear, Omegafriends, for evil never triumphs in the end!

As to Dr. Devious, I have faced her ilk before. I'm confident she'll fold nicely under a direct confrontation, but actually MANAGING that confrontation is surprisingly tricky. Have any of you considered searching for her lair instead of her device? Doing what a mastermind suggests you do rarely works out well.

[Robert Parr: ordinary citizen and definitely NOT a retired superhero. Today he's taken a stop on his way home from work to do some every day heroism: Pick up the dry cleaning, grab some ground beef for dinner, and look into getting the car window replaced. As such, any other totally ordinary citizens of Venture City can find a large, extremely bored looking man at the dry cleaners, the supermarket, or the autoshop. Ah, the daily grind!]

[Later, at home]
As always, Bob getting home is accompanied by a slight jolt through the house as he closes the door. Fortunately, the house was built with super strength in mind. He's only accidentally pulled the door off of the hinges ONCE.

"I'm home! They were out of the normal beef, so I had to get the organic kind."

Does normal theft insurance cover acts of supervillians stealing it, or is that completely separate? I can provide some basic home defense myself, but it is foolish to become overly reliant on one's own abilities.

I know nothing about insurance

Supervillainy is covered under our diamond and platinum home security plans. The platinum plan, on the other hand, is more geared towards people who think they might be specifically targeted by something or someone. Theft, home invasion, that sort of thing. The diamond plan focuses more on accidents, so things like fires, earthquakes, floods, giant monster rampages...you know.

Hmmmm... I think that I would like a bit more detail than that, do you have either of those on hand for me to read?

[READING the paperwork? What madness is this?]

"What, right now?"

It was an unusual thing for someone to sit down and read through all the paper work right in the office.

"I mean, uh..." He shuffled through papers and dug up the relevant files, which he handed over. "Of course. Here you are."
