"Automatically attracting supervillains" is a trope that Powernaut 
Comics is probably not going to outgrow any time soon.  However, the 
current series seems to be avoiding property damage in the neighborhood. 
  It's as though the villains have an investment in the Reality House 
series or something...  8{D>

The soldiers presented a pathetic but inspiring spectacle. The
hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded; the walls were
gradually crumbling under incessant shell fire, yet that garrison
of heroes remained undaunted.

It was as Buck said, "just as if they had been Americans."
