The Legion of Doom. The Injustice League. The Serpent Society. You’ve read all of these names before in your childhood and forgot about many of them, until now. For those of us that are still reading comic books, we never forgot, but a real life reminder of what these bad guys were to our heroes has no come in the form of Donald Trump’s choices for cabinet members.

We keep hearing The Legion of Doom thrown about the most, but just about every other supervillain team has been mentioned. A potential resource crisis has come about, however, as citizens are running out of names to bring up. In a sort of geeky one-up-manship, folks have been obsessed with adding more obscure group names to the list and are starting to come up empty. They are running out of supervillain groups to namedrop, and it’s getting worrisome.

“I stopped at the U-Foes. I couldn’t think of anything more obscure than that. Then someone brought up the Children of the Vault and I was kicking myself in the ass for not remembering them,” said Antoine Fordham of Lawrence, Kansas. “There are just only so many people can remember! Like, who remembers the Time Stealers from Booster Gold? Anybody? Nope, no one does!”

While the obvious ones have all been mentioned, a few have seemed to go unnoticed, but once we mention them here they will be off limits for others to one-up each other with. As it is our duty to report the news fully and justly, we have to mention the Twelve Brothers in Silk from Birds of Prey and The Assembly of Evil that appeared during Marvel’s Acts of Vengeance. We actually think that might be the most appropriate comparison, so far. Sorry, you can’t use those names now. We’ve used them.

Congress has approved a measure to help subsidize the costs of running the US Government by allowing corporate sponsors to adorn the White House with their emblems. Sponsors will jockey for specific positions along the outside of the White House by bidding extremely high dollar amounts, based on their placement and size.

While the United States government has been running on corporate sponsors for decades, there never has been a physical acknowledgment of it in public view. Finally, we might actually start to see who is feeding money into our politics be watching the logos cycle through positions or be added and removed, all together. Unfortunately, this will not decrease our taxes.

The concept was envisioned thanks to years of the more brain dead congressmen watching NASCAR, though they never thought how this could potentially backfire. If an oil company places their logo in a prominent position on the White House and they have an oil tanker or rig leak into the ocean, does the President really want to have that on the outside of their building?

Terms to deal with such situations are still being worked on, but as of right now these plans are in stone, regardless of who is president. Analysts do suspect, however, that if Donald Trump becomes president, we can only expect to see Trump logos all around the White House.

This is a mockup of what the White House will look like after corporate sponsorships begin.
