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, cliched ways) 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. Here at Herocopia, we believe that on distant planets, unknowable aliens found themselves suddenly cringing in sympathetic embarrassment and didn't know why. ("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. He's told them to call him "sire." Mr. Smartie Notes: The image of his base crashing into the waters would work well here. --Yiding (talk) 19:11, 12 September 2013 (PDT) Well, owned one. Observations Yes, a majordomo is a kind of servant. Boy ain't bright. He wanted to code-name Martha Sullivan "Telecaster," too. 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?
