The Majordomo © Juke Box Productions AstroFacts Status: Imprisoned, presumably Base of Operations: A flying headquarters Personal Data Occupation: Not a majordomo InfoDump Appearances (in Publication Order): Astro City #4 Event Timeline The Majordomo Picture a would-be world conqueror, one whose stunted reach far exceeds his grandiose grasp. Only replace "would-be" with "wannabe." There's the Majordomo. History The Majordomo's first (and only) supervillain scheme is as follows: Intending to create his own team of super-powered soldiers, the Majordomo tried recruiting various Sideliners. When they (surprise, surprise) wished to remain on the sidelines, he kidnapped them (in unoriginal and rather cliched manners) so that he could subjugate them into his service. However, they turned the tables on him. (What's the opposite of "surprise, surprise"?) The Sideliners freed themselves, blew through his flying headquarters, and delivered to him an utterly and thoroughly humiliating defeat. ("On the Sidelines") Equipment Surprisingly, his resources are quite technologically advanced. He has anti-gravity tech, he used power-inhibiting collars to restrain the captive Sideliners, and he even wears a suit of high-tech armor whose movement is powered by micro-servos. He even owns an entire flying headquarters staffed by underlings. Well, owned one. It was destroyed by the Sideliners. Speculations, Theories The look of the Majordomo's costume, with its visual complexity and elaborate piping, resembles a recent trend in costumes in mainstream superhero comics. Is some gentle ribbing going on?
