Imagine what the SEC would think of Bruce Wayne or Lex Luthor. Or any superhero-world billionaire who has to cook the books to not leave a trail of how he paid for his gear (an entire episode of Batman: TAS was devoted to the Penguin figuring out who the contracting mechanic was who built the Batmobile and making his life a living hell).

I can easily see Lex Luthor doing what Phil Knight does now -- giving massive amounts of money to college athletic programs. But Luthor would do so for reasons that are less than honorable (because he is, after all, Lex Luthor). And while there have been questions about Phil Knight's motives as well....

assault Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Actually, reality is starting to look like the Marvel Universe. A Valkyrie's sword has been discovered. Elon Musk could, potentially, lose control of SpaceX, leading to him making a desperate private flight, along with his musician partner, a professional astronaut and a random hanger own/family member. Bavaria is engaging in Mad Science. No doubt there is someone in armour and an iron mask behind it. All we need are breakthroughs in military exoskeleton technology, shrinking, and a Big Green Monster. pinecone, Hermit and Pattern Ghost 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can lose a dozen times; we don't make much progress as a result. When they win, tho....we get Enron'd. Or the mortgage crisis. On Elon...I wonder if the shareholders have a case to go after him, for gross malfeasance. Open mouth, insert foot, see stock price crash yet again.
