His tactic of employing super-villains to stage fights near competing coffee outlets in order to clear the way for new StarBase stores is notorious, and he refuses to use Fair Trade-certified shade-grown organic goods for more than a fraction of the company's coffees and teas -- which he marks up by an extra 25%. Of course, in his secret identity as Dark Roast, he too now battles the Star Khan and the Grue, which makes things awkward at SHADOW meetings.		* '''Jack Donald, CEO of StarBase Coffee''', who cut his teeth by rising through the ranks of Albertson's, Bromwell's Department Stores, and Harvest Supermarkets corporate sharks.
