Often times it happens... like the changing of a decade, the changing of a President or a as often as the change in a season...

There are those who dream of running a city. Some dream of running it for the glory, some for a civic duty and some for the mere greed of it all.

Crime Bosses are what change and none change faster than the one's in Gotham. Killer Clowns, Guys wearing a Black Skull mask. Guys who model themselves after artic birds. Guys who are genic reptilian freaks, guys jacked up on steroids and girls who think they are Mother Nature.

Then there is the one who is normal, an everyday crime boss, no special powers.. just deep pockets.

Until a few hours ago he ran Gotham from his Italian-styled mansion. He puffed on a cigar had a swagger to him. Sure he feared the city's protectors; the BatMan and his family, but his hired muscle kept them busy.

The cigar now sits, smoldering on a resting spot. The scent of blood fills the room. Moans of aches and pains slowly ripple through the room and echo just enough to bring a sinister smile to its face. Drool oozes from the mouth, making its way inbetween gleeming sharp teeth.

In an effortless show of primal rage, it reaches down and snaps the neck of the supposed muscle. The man falls in a heep.

The creature takes a deep breath and roars in ecstasy.

It turns its attention to the Crime Boss. Just as it lashes its taloned claws out a small voice says...
'NO!!!'

The beast stops. Its chest inhales and exhales rapidly. The Crime Boss never flinches. His eyes never blink, his heart rate does not rise. Rupert Thorne stands fixated on the small voice as Stegron's bloody talons hold steady at the HomoSapien's chest.

The small voice soothes Stegron into backing down..
'If any of his men move, then KILL them my pet!'

The worm known as Mr.Mind walks in front of the ashtray supporting the cigar.

Rupert Thorne, you are my slave and under your guise I will bring Gotham down and rid the world of its BatMen. With your money, your power and your services I will work the criminal underground and serve as its headend. Everyone shall fall to the feet of the Mighty Mr.Mind!!! Ha HahaHHhahAHHA!!!!
