Doctor Sinister. An evil Supervillain with an insane lust for power. Although his original secret island base was seemingly destroyed, the Doctor spent some time on the run and now occupies the defunct Mount Cheyenne facility in Colorado where he still plots to become future Emperor and Warlord of the planet Earth. Enjoys the company of cats, cloned genetically modified Dinosaurs and people who say "yes" all the time.

And featuring:

General Menace. Graduated from West Point Military Academy with honours, served for twenty-five years in the US Army, reaching level of 2-star General in command of training facilities before being recruited by Doctor Sinister to command his New Model Army of World Domination.

EPISODE 27 – "Spies Don’t Like Us"

Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries echoes through the cavernous bedchamber of Doctor Sinister as he stands on the bed, waving his arms rapturously as if conducting the orchestra. As the operatic section kicks in, the Doctor opens his mouth and sings along, albeit he is completely out of tune, and doesn’t know the words anyway.

In the corner of the room, two Siamese cats sit and glare at their master, wishing they could cover their ears to keep out the cacophony.

With the music reaching a crescendo and as he clashes virtual symbols, something suddenly catches the Doctor’s eye and he stops abruptly. Grabbing a sheet, he jumps off the bed and hurries to the door where he throws the material to the floor and appears to wrestle something inside the sheet. He leaps up…something is indeed struggling in his hands, and with a swift movement, he tightens the blanket around it and smashes it against the wall…where it becomes still.

Fuming with rage, he storms off down the corridor to the control centre of the Cheyenne Mountain facility to see General Menace giving a tutorial to some new Sinister Incorporated technicians.

Doctor Sinister: General, I must see you at once!

General Menace: Certainly Excellency. (General Menace turns to the cadets) We’ll resume this later…you might as well head to the canteen, this might take a while. (The two men head to an empty console)

General, this is intolerable, I thought you said we’d got them all?

Well, I was sure we had my Lord…don’t tell me…

Yes, I found another one – skulking around in my room, MY ROOM!

May I?

Sure… (Doctor Sinister hands the crumpled sheet to the General who slowly opens it up to reveal a shining chrome metal spider inside, about three inches across, and rather smashed)

Hmmm, these ones are sneaky, it must have avoided the detection equipment – I’ll get a team on it rightaway.

I do hope so General, for all our sakes – when we liberated this facility, you never told me it was being bugged by the US Secret Service.
