Every One Needs an Arch Enemy

   Wanted one arch enemy. Must be able to meet on a regular basis to do battle, atop moving trains, dark alleys, leaping from roof top to roof top is optional. A stylish yet somewhat provocative costume is mandatory if you do not have one, one will be provided however the selection is somewhat limited.
   Please include in your application a list of your Super Powers, as well as your secret Achilles Heel that I can use as a last resort to defeat you, when appealing to your sense of human morals fails to stop you from destroying the world.   I will also need at least three references. These references can be from relatives that you have done battle with, friends or co-workers, whose day to day lives you have tried to manipulate to do your bidding in your quest to “Take Over The World!”
   Every Super Hero has had an Arch Enemy take Superman for example.   Atlas was   a morally ambiguous anti-hero; Atlas had a crystal which gave him strength that rivaled Superman’s. Of course Superman's arch nemesis and the consummate evil genius was Lex Luthor. Lex Luthor and Superman were once friends, but a lab accident indirectly caused by Superman (then Superboy) caused Lex's hair to fall out completely. This event causes Luthor to snap and become a dangerous criminal who plots the destruction of Superman.
   Interest in this position has been greater than expected, as a few resumes have come across my desk in the recent months, but I will continue to accept applications for another two weeks. I assure you I will not show any preference to the current family members who have expressed interest in this position. Everyone will be judged on their own merit
   I have provided a brief job description; Prefer but not required that applicant be my evil counterpart   from an alternate Earth must possess powers similar to mine. You must be a member of the Crime Syndicate of America, a villainous version of the Justice League indigenous to his universe.
    Your income will be based using a sliding scale limited only by your imagination, I must tell you being totally transparent here, that in the end you will not be able to keep your ill-gotten booty. Good always triumphs over evil. After I have defeated you and you are brought to justice, and you are banished to a frozen asteroid.   But as fate would have it the asteroids orbit takes it to close to the sun which in turn melts your icy coffin. Setting up a colossal rematch.
