Heh, I've had dreams about building and organizers myself if we're gonna call it that way XD

And when he retires, he goes on the radio!

Jesus christ! What a very well thought out plot! You've practically got enough for that novel already!

Did you actually do anything with this idea? Because it sounds completely freaking sweet, not to mention extremely viable.

Heh. Are you familiar with ‘Temps’? Two books about British (and later European)-run superhero organizations. Name comes from the fact that the British attitude really doesn't condone vigilantism... so all supers basically get handled out of a bureaucracy that hires them on as Temps to handle particular issues.

Such as the Invisible Kid (who's not actually invisible, just impossible to pay attention to) who gets sent into a hostage situation and walks in, chats with the guy with the gun, and walks back out after the gunman forgets about him. Only problem is, his supervisors keep forgetting to pay him.

Neil Gaiman was one of the writers, as I recall. Tended toward rather dry humour, being British.

hehe Sounds interesting. The perfect thing to motivate kids into dreaming of middle managent LOL. (just kidding) But seriously. This sounds like a fun Idea.

Thanks for a brainfart. Let me share it:
We are in a 'Catch 22' (a movie to be seen) situation.
Of course those in power are irrational and mad. No rational or sane person would apply for that job.

Hello Karno!!
Strangely, I ran a superheroes RPG and we end up with a similar situation. The super heroes became the government. Yes. it was a dictature.

Compare and contrast...

Very well tought out. The retired superheor using his net of connections is a trope way too rarely used.
