Finally, my triumphant return! I have spent several weeks at the local Henchman Training Center, personally overseeing the progress of my minions. Looking back, I see my efforts to design their costumes and gadgets have distracted me from this journal for too long, and so I intend to recap all that has occurred.
Firstly, I have acquired 2 henchmen, outfitted them well, and ensured that their training is up to my standards. They have taken the nom de guerres of Stinger and Nightflight, and are geared up as folows:
Stinger is my muscle, and he has taken up the mantle of the hardworking bumblebee. His stinger, equipped with a pinhole camera for aiming at pursuers, fires barbed needles on a stream of compressed air. His forearms bear similar weapons, and his considerable strength is augmented by a slimline exoskeletal frame.
Nightflight wears a moth costume similar to my own, but with sound dampeners and a white noise generator, for additional stealth as needed. He's more suited for martial arts than brawling, and so he complements Stinger nicely. His main weapons are various gas- and liquid-filled pellets, thrown with deadly accuracy.
All three of us bear my pollen guns, which performed admirably against the "underclassmen" of the group. We have yet to find out how effective they are against supers, but I'm confident we'll give them a pretty hard time. Perhaps we can stop off in another, less high-profile city for the field test phase.
I really must finish working on my supercomputer on my return, but fine decor is such an essential part of gracious living, and so I will turn my attentions to the apallingly blank walls first. Between jobs, of course.
Nearly forgot to mention it, but my club is officially upgraded as much as I dare without compromising structural integrity. Having found reference to similar weapons on one of the villan forums, I have outfitted it with a system similar to reactive armor; that is to say, it responds to sudden impact with a focused explosion, deflecting bullets and such. By the same token, anything I hit hard enough will also be subjected to said focused explosion.
And that just about wraps things up for now. Can't wait to get home and play with our new toys....

Our little project has gone off wihout any significant issues. Only Velocity met at the agreed location- a valuable ally, to be sure, but also indicative of how much work i have to do to gain a reputation around here-, but between the four of us, we made short work of the security at our local candy factory. I had selected it, not only for the thematic aspect of stealing/contaminating candy on Halloween, but also to put a dent in the finances of that heartless, pollution-spewing, downright ugly monstrosity that, frankly, can't make a decent lolly to save their pathetic lives. Hopefully they got the message, especially since

Modifications complete! The whole project turned out amazingly, if i do say so myself. The proboscides are realistically narrow, and i've even worked in retractable mouthplates so as not to muffle our chilling threats of terror. Tomorrow, we shall carry out a Halloween-themed crime spree of some sort, hopefully with the help of a few other villains. I mean, what's the point of becoming a supervillain if you can't have fun with it once in a while?
Oh, and i'm not sure what exactly i'm dealing with here, but some anonymous force has been disrupting the Coccoon's signals. I finally headed for the roof to check the dish, and discovered the appa

Well, that was awful. Our first real outing went as planned, up until the arrival of a pair of well-equipped vigilantes just as we were leaving the art gallery. I've already analyzed what I did wrong: one, some sort of levitating satchel, possibly coccoon-themed, would have lightened our load and expedited our escape, thereby avoiding the "heroes" by several minutes. Two, incorporating gas masks into our costumes will help us to avoid being knocked unconscious before we even catch a glimpse of who we're up against. It was pure dumb luck that Nightflight managed to avoid capture, and I must say, he's done a truly fantastic

Field test complete! We have successfully trounced an up-and-comer who dared to step on my toes.
On the way home, we spotted a mothlike silhouette and decided to suit up and follow it. Turns out some putz a few towns over had the stupid audacity to take up hero work with a moth suit! At least I assume he was a hero. Perhaps I interrupted a villain. Either way, his shoddy outfit and subpar skills were easily dealt with by my minions alone, and rather handily too. I doubt he'll be taking flight anytime soon. Mothmaster, indeed. I'm surprised he hadn't beaten himself into submission on a streetlight before I even arrived.

I swear if you choose Hub City as your 'less high-profile city for the field test phase' I am not going to be happy.
