History of House of Villains
2001 - The House of Villains is founded. Its first mission is to steal many of the world's monuments and only return them after a 10 billion dollar ransom is paid. 9 billion is used to rebuild infrastructure in Somalia.
2002 - The House of Villains tries, and fails, to overthrow North Korea's government. The team ends up fleeing to Manchuria and fighting the ghosts of the Imperial Japanese army lead by Mikaboshi.
2003 - The team traps the Vice President in an episode of the Looney Toons for the better part of a week. Doctor Chaos is convinced, rightly or wrongly, the VP signed off on his office's destruction.
2004 - The team steals a Multi-Dimensional Gateway and goes on a rampage through dozens of parallel realities and alternate timelines. Casualties include 46 Hitlers, 21 Stalins, and no less than 7 Maos. Special effort is made to prevent John Lenon's assassination and pirate the reformed Beetles' hits.
2005 - The House of Villains tries (and sadly fails) to bring back a cure for AIDS from the future but manages to blow up a future despot's xenocidal fleet.
2006 - the House of Villains mounts a daring raid on an other-dimensional monarchy to steal the technology necessary to clean up the Gulf of Mexico after the BP oil spill. It, oddly, works perfectly.
They also help themselves to a hefty portion of BP's fine.
2007 - They assist the Indian government in preventing a cyclone and help them prevent an invasion of the country by Rakshasa hailing from the Expanse. Bizarrely, they then attempt to rob India's diamond market.
2008 - The team murders the dictator of Libya a couple of years early. The U.N. eventually comes on behalf of the rebels despite the House of Villains actively assisting them but the “heroes” are forced to flee soon after.
An oil well is sucked dry in the process, its contents sold to finance better Star Wars Prequels. These movies, sadly, are not made.
2009 - The team attempts to form its own sovereign nation based on universal human rights, free love, socialized medical care, no poverty, and other Utopian values using stolen super-science and otherworldly tech.
The plan is halted by the region they intended to found it on getting hit by a satellite weapon. The team retaliates against the parties responsible in a rather gruesome way best left undescribed.
2010 - The team assists in the Haiti earthquake, narrowly avoiding being nuked by a rogue American General determined to stop them at all costs. The team still manages to rebuild more than a quarter of the capital city within a week - better than before.
Then promptly leaves the General's head wrapped in a basket on the POTUS' head with a note saying, "Control your men!"
The group has, besides these, been involved in literally hundreds of other operations.
