to whom it may concern:
ive never been much of a duck and cover kind of guy
but
when Complexitron caught wind that i was lurking around his hood
he got PISSED
i had to duck and cover my way out
plus i was wearing a pink shirt that day
if it wasnt for a unforeseen and unprovoked attack by Administrator and a couple of his thugs - i wouldn't have even been in the situation in the first place
the bottom line was: Administrator was up to some bad shit, and the only way i could look after it was by retrieving a sub-miniature component located deep in Complexitron's main factory
anyway - to make a long story short - i didnt grab it this time around
maybe next time
in a recent fan letter - one youngster asked me how i handle failures like these
well young man - it might be considered a little hard on yourself to view these types of un-successes as failure
best thing to do is head back to the lab and re-group - maybe consult some of the others around for some insights or strategies - and then head back out and dive into the mix again
see: something that needs to be done will always need to be done until its done
i know we live in a place where we use time to threaten ourselves and others
but
anything with a clock-related deadline is just another trick
Plan A might be 'get it done by Monday at noon'
but Plan B is always 'get it done ASAP'
lesser villains could possibly be dealt with like clockwork
but
when youre dealing with SUPER-Villains, its just not reasonable to think that they can be thwarted according to some sort of time schedule
