[@JSpin-js4vr]

This is the most realistic reason why supervillains have so many hench men. Whenever they break out, the rest do, too.

[@theadmingamer682]

Not only that, it’s the same employment pool the goons get to choose from so they know who they prefer to work under. And if they’re not a fan of their old boss, they get to experiment with a new boss. Only con is it’s really hard to unionize when the villains can just wipe out the Union before/after they escape the prison.

[@redstonecasey4713]

Counterpoint: any reasonably clever supervillain will realize that it’s in their best interest to offer better benefits and job security than the rest of the megalomaniacs. Henchmen, while seemingly plentiful, are a limited commodity: there’s not THAT many job applicants willing to work for a costumed criminal, take a Bat-Punch to the jaw, or work in a field where “dropped into a pit of sharks” is a known workplace hazard. If they get to decide what villain they work for, they’ll naturally migrate to whoever is least likely to murder them, and whoever offers the best incentives/snazziest uniforms.

[@desadograisedrobot515]

@@theadmingamer682 But then the boss can't get new goons since they would not risk being wiped out. Better for everyone there to play relatively nice.

[@desadograisedrobot515]

@@redstonecasey4713 Reminds me of an animation of Madness Combat where the antagonist's Company has great work benefits and has a bunch of diversity and many works and pays well because of their line of work. Then the protag says to the goon "Do you really wanna risk fighting me?" Then the goon quits his job.

[@SkyEcho751]

Alternate Idea, the government found out about the forged papers and don't want to admit they messed up, so they intentionally set up something so that he _actually gets_ the power to control bears. He just never uses them because he's still terrified of bears.

The man's a genius. He also forgot to mention that he would be a low priority to get back in the prison because he never uses his "powers" in his crimes. The police will be too busy going after psychos like the Joker before they bother with him.

[@timymax]

I'm honestly more surprised that he keeps surviving the superjail breakouts and then this convoluted scheme he cooked up to keep bears away from him

[@Drave_Jr.]

They probably need to work together to break out, and killing random super villains is not a good way to get trust in Superjail.

I think the whole keeping bears away from him thing is just a bonus, he wanted an excuse to get sent to a jail he could easily breakout of and when he realised he could use it so they would always keep all bears away from him, he took the opportunity and ran with it.

He insists that he's a regular person, but no-one believes him - not even the superhero he's fighting. But!! in the finale there's a big reveal -- a scientist tests him, he's just a regular guy. but then the scientist turns out to be working for the series' BBEG, and so everyone thinks the scientist was lying.

It’s likely that all metas get sent to super jail, not worth case by case checking for if the power would help them get out of normal jail. A lot of abilities also come with some level of superhuman endurance/strength even if it isn’t mentioned as a specific power of theirs.

It would also depend on how far a range his fake powers would work. If its a psychic thing, is it miles away? is it 5 feet away? As he said, its not something that his captors would wanna test out. So they have to assume for safety reasons that any Zoo a few miles away from the Prison he could control. Aquaman can actually talk to fish and other aquamarine animals Miles away too. They usually have to use some kind of Mind shield dampener on him if they wanna imprison him or put him in a special room. You think a normal Jail would wanna make an exception for him? Sounds expensive. Send him to Super jail then. Also we don't know where they live. Canada? Near a forest? It doesnt have to be a Zoo, could just be forest nearby with natural Bears.

Consider this, super powered individuals have been known to grow more powerful and even improve their powers to the point they become almost entirely different powers. One day he's a guy who controls bears. The next he can turn into a bear or control bear like animals.

I like how they’re just having a genuine, chill conversation

[@mysteroads5598]

Okay, I do NOT know who these people are, I've never heard the dialogue before, but I am now INVESTED. 😂 I cracked up. This is amazing. I need more.

[@crimsonmaelstrom573]

This guy is a freaking genius 👏👏👏

[@joshuaingram571]

This is brilliant. ❤ How is this guy not a lawyer or a salesman?

[@skyfallen2775]

Your voice is so damn adorable I swear there’s nothing in this world to compare it to it’s lovely nature. It’s comparable to what I imagine what an actual angel sounds like or if a biblically accurate angel had to communicate to a human they would use something like this gentle and beautiful hymn of a voice

Honestly his superpower should be his intelligence because that was really well thought out.

[@uzziisrael]

I see it as an absolute win.

[@LinkVisage]

Oh this artist. Lovly

[@AdamTheStorysmith]

I need to see more of these two!

[@WackoMcGoose]

To be fair, if _money_ can be a superpower, so can _giving zero fucks and fully committing to a bold-faced lie._

[@grimtygranule5125]

"Wait so you have a fake ID? Well thats a felony, now you are going to normal human prison"

[@r.s.2890]

As a registered super villain, he goes to super jail regardless of crime.

[@Ztaticify]

Plot twist: He can only control bears subconsciously, so his fear controls the bears to be aggressive towards him

[@TylerGoatMan]

I would honestly watch an animated series about the misadventures of this dude.
