I always wondered where supervillains went to get their henchmen. Turns out they use craig's list like the rest of us. Here's one example:
20-30 henchmen needed for moderately-sized supervillain organisation
with large expansion potential (fortresses built into geological
structures, corruption of government officials, possible genesis of
'nemesis' vigilante). Electrical theme.
Applicants must be willing to learn new skills, including but not
limited to operation of specialised 'lightning guns'. Applicants will
also be required to wear specialised uniform when at work (functional
rubber suits with my logo on front), except in cases where deception is
required (posing as hostages in order to ambush vigilantes, etc).
Desired (but not necessarily required) in applicants:
-interesting deformations/obsessions/powers(?) giving rise to interesting nicknames (e.g. Claws, Pyro, Buzzsaw, and similar)
-unwavering loyalty
-being a corruptible government official
-ability to work as part of a close-knit team (unless interesting obsession is of the 'lone wolf' variety)
-grudge against any well-known vigilante
-flexible moral code
Equal opportunies employer. Both henchmen and femmes fatales absolutely welcome.
Great promotion opportunities - right-hand-man position constantly
being unexpectedly opened. Would look good on any future supervillain
resume/CV.
Send an email with details of any prior henchman work, or details
of what is driving you to join the ranks of a supervillain
organisation. Will reply to all serious applicants. Hope to hear from
you, and with luck, welcome you into a rewarding and promising career!
