Still, being a career scoundrel can be the most satisfying work in the world, if you’re up to it. If this sounds like what you’re looking for in a career, then read on recruit, and be prepared to enter the world of wrong, wrathful wickedness!”

He is also monarch of the tiny Eastern European nation of Explosia, a title he won in a month-long Rochambeau tournament nearly half a century ago. In his spare time, he enjoys macrame and telling his various minions to avoid referring to him as “Dr. King.” When he isn’t running things at the ISS’s giant lair in the Earth’s mantle, he likes to spend his time in Sarasota, Florida. Matt D. Wilson has written humor for websites including McSweeneys.net, Cracked.com, NationalLampoon.com and ToplessRobot.com. He runs the International Society of Supervillains website at the-iss.com. He’s also one of the Bureau Chiefs that run the FakeAPStylebook Twitter account and co-wrote the accompanying book, Write More Good. When he’s not thinking about villainy, he spends him time as a reporter in Chicago, Illinois.
