Death by a Thousand Paper Cuts Pt. 1[]

Character Dialogue
Hank Scorpio Pleased Icon Hmn, someone sent me a package. Careful, Hank. It's most likely a deadly explosive device... Uggh, I can't wait. I just love getting things! I'm tearing it open!
Hank Scorpio Icon "Congratulations Mr. Scorpio, you have been selected as the most dynamic evil villain of the year!"
Hank Scorpio Icon "We would like to welcome you to the Advanced Council Representative of Nefarious Yearly Machinations!"
Hank Scorpio Pleased Icon This is so exciting! I've never been part of an organized group of supervillains before! Okay, Boy Scouts. But that was more about the bandanas.
