Hello CBMers!!!
The mega sized incarceration facility, Supermax, now completed and located in parts unknown. It was built to house the greatest comic book villains to one maximum secured super structure. The villains are placed in unbreakable handcuffs (similar to what Loki had in Avengers) that dampen any superpowers for transport. They are then placed on a bus and transferred to the Supermax. The Supermax houses six different wings with multiple cells to each. The cells are nicknamed "glass boxes" due to the barrier of see through reinforced glass where bars would be in a common prison. And now a look at what happens within those hardened walls and between the captured CBM villains.
Part of the fun is to imagine the assembled characters as by the following portrayals. Voice wise and look; as based upon their more memorable appearance from each one's movies. Only a few characters' appearances will be described.

INSIDE THE SUPERMAX CAFETERIA
The inmates shuffle through a food line in single file.
Most of the inmates have made claims to certain areas and tables. The Batman villains congregate to one large table in the middle that has been nicknamed "Arkham". Riddler sits on the left end seat with Joker seated across. Bane sits besides Joker, and Mr. Freeze sits two seats down from Riddler, closer to the ladies. Poison Ivy and Catwoman are seated across one another at the other end of the long table.
JOKER: "Eddie, tell Bane here about that club you tried to run, when you decided to give the legit life another try."
RIDDLER: "I don't think he wants to hear about that."
BANE: "Certainly, I do not mind. I admire your entrepreneurial spirit. Please, proceed."
RIDDLER: "*sighs heavily and looks at Joker slightly annoyed* Ok...well I was trying to do something like our other colleague, Penguin. He runs a club or something, pretty popular, called Iceberg Lounge."
FREEZE: "Very COOL club!"
JOKER: "Shut it popsicle!"
RIDDLER: "Ok, well I figured, his club does good business, perhaps maybe it's because of his questionable past. So I make a club that would fit my criminal identity."
JOKER: " *leaning forward* Tell him what you called it."
RIDDLER: " *sighs* Clue. Like the board game."
JOKER: " *laughs to the point of tears* HAHAHAHAHA. Is that not the lamest thing you ever heard of for a club? Like, 'Honey! I feel like going out tonight! How about we check out that place based on a board game? Not Battleship. No, not Monopoly. Clue!!' HaHAHA. Tell them, tell them the name of your drinks. Hahaha."
RIDDLER: " *smiles slyly* I know what your talking about. The Professor Plum."
JOKER: "HAHAHA. And that other."
RIDDLER: " *laughing now* oh, um, Peacock's Pina Colada."
Joker, Riddler, and Bane's laughter attract the attentions of Poison Ivy and Catwoman.
CATWOMAN: "What are you guys cackling about?"
BANE: "Just Riddler's last business enterprise. A fine nighttime establishment if you do not mind dancing in a conservatory! Riddler's Clue club!"
JOKER: Hahaha! Has anyone ever, in the history of houses, ever seen a conservatory!"
CATWOMAN: " *smiles* Oh my God! I remember that place! That was yours, Riddler? Wow, I remember going there with my boyfriend at the time, Bruce Wayne. It was his idea too, he said he just had to check the place out."
IVY: "How could you date Bruce Wayne? For the love of Mother Nature, I met that man once, and that was once to many. He was so smug and condescending."
CATWOMAN: "Maybe he was like that when you met him. He was actually pretty fun and interesting when I knew him."
FREEZE: " You know, I once was able to assist Wayne. I helped him save his butler from the ICY grasp of death."
JOKER: "Your a true inspiration Freeze. I kill judges and police commissioners, you? You save butlers. You should open a clinic, I can see your commercial. 'Have you sprained your ankle, maybe you have a big bruise!' Hahaha. 'You just need to ICE it. Free cold packs for the first 100 clients!' Hahaha. Vanilla Ice could be your celebrity endorsement!"
CATWOMAN: "What happened to the club, Eddie?
RIDDLER: "Well, along with those drinks, it turns out people didn't have a taste for dishes like Col. Mustard Burgers or Scarlet Oysters. I think it's an Olive Garden now. Oh well, often times true genius goes unnoticed."
JOKER: "Not this time. Hahaha. More like, true lameness properly shut down."
Justin Hammer exits the food area and notices Magneto seated alone at a single table. He sheepishly shuffles past the large group at the "Arkham"table and sits down at another table, with Zod on the other side and at the opposite end.
HAMMER: " *drapes a napkin out and lays it across his lap* Lets see what we've go to eat here."
Hammer eats a spoonful of mashed potatoes, but before he gets a second scoop he notices a dark shadow across his food. He looks upward and the potatoes fall from his mouth as his jaw drops. Before him stands, Ivan Vanko.
VANKO: " *sits down in front of Hammer, toothpick in mouth* Ah, comrade good to see you. Had some good times. Huh? Huh? *reaches out and squeezes Hammer's mashed potatoes* Aw, for second, thought might be C4 again. Ha!"
HAMMER: "V...V...Vanko? What the...you.... You know, it's your fault I'm sitting in this nightmare prison."
VANKO: "Please, all in past. We had good time with robots. Besides, you get arrested by woman called Pepper. Never would happen in Russia. *points to Zod* What his story?"
HAMMER: "Zod? He's some kind of alien general. From what I've heard, he hates Superman and buildings."
VANKO: "Oh. *reaches into pocket and puts a folded up sheet of paper by Hammer's hand* Need you to give this to your cellmate. Magneto. You are not to read. Tell him, from Brotherhood. Understand?"
HAMMER: "Ok."
Venom and Green Goblin walk past the "Arkham" table, making their way toward the Sinister Six table. At this table, near the cafeteria's entrance, the villains of Spiderman are seated. Already seated there across from each other are Dr. Octopus and Sandman. Venom sits beside Sandman as Green Goblin sits next to Dr. Octopus.
GOBLIN: "I see they let you out of solitary doc."
OCTOPUS: " *looks disappointed* I was actually starting to like it, believe it or not. At the very least, I was able to get away from that frozen dimwit and his terrible puns. Puns. Puns. All the damn time. I guess he needs to talk that way, otherwise you probably would never understand him."
GOBLIN: "Enough with the stupid chit chat about those jokes over there. The whole lot of them, I can't even began to describe how crazy and silly they are."
OCTOPUS: "The warden flipped my cell. But, he didn't find our plans. I just need you to get that device from the cook, Norman."
GOBLIN: "No problem, Venom's going to go start a fight and I'll walk back to the kitchen to get the device. What's the cook's name?"
OCTOPUS: "They call him Mandarin. And we should do this now."
GOBLIN: "Alright. Venom, make yourself useful and go start a fight with one of those nut jobs."
VENOM: " *looks over at the Arkham table slightly distressed* Umm, which one?"
SANDMAN: "I'd stay clear of the clown."
GOBLIN: "Why don't you help him?"
SANDMAN: "Without our powers? No way."
GOBLIN: "Spineless litter box. Look, just go over there and punch anyone of them. Try the one with that mask on."
VENOM: "He looks kinda big."
GOBLIN: "So what, I think he's an asthmatic though, why else would he wear such a ridiculous mask? Go!"
VENOM: "Ok....."
Venom rises from the table and slowly walks toward where Bane is seated. Bane is turned away from him and Venom coughs, getting the table to look at him.
JOKER: "Oohh, Venomacles! Why so serious?"
Venom winds up his arm and delivers a right hook directly to Bane's face. Bane's head slightly moves with the punch and he slowly rises as Venom stutter steps backward falling to his backside, Bane seeming to grow in front of him.
BANE: "You hit like a measly teenaged girl. I'm befuddled by your action, perhaps you require pain. Now I must break you!"
Bane reaches down and lifts Venom high above his head, prepared to bring him down onto his knee. The other inmates are cheering loudly as all the guards rush toward the fight. Green Goblin slips into the kitchen unnoticed. He comes to an area, were he finds a bearded man in his boxers and white stained t-shirt with a large green robe. The man is watching a soccer match on a small screened old model television, beer can in hand.
GOBLIN: " *looks confused* This can't be.....Are you, the Mandarin?"
TREVOR: "Haven't been called that in a long time mate. Please, call me Trevor mate. Oh, you must be the bloke that Ock was talking about. Right, got your thing right here. *he stands up, never taking his eyes off the tv screen, as he goes to open a pot on a nearby counter, suddenly throws both hands in the air* GOAL!!!!! OLE! OLE! OLE!"
GOBLIN: What the...shut up! Hurry, we haven't much time."
TREVOR: "Must be a United fan, anyway here it is. Tell Ock, Loki says he'll be looking forward to him paying him back."
Trevor hands Green Goblin a small blue cube, a little smaller than a golf ball. He closes his fist around it and rushes back to the dining area. Green Goblin burst from the door right as the Warden walks through the cafeteria's entrance. A majority of the inmates are crowded around the fight scene near the "Arkham" table.
WARDEN: " OK! Time for everyone to pay a visit to shock city!"
The warden pulls out a small tubular device and pushes the button on the end. All the inmates at once shake and begin to curl over as electricity charges through their bodies from the power suppressing bracelets they wear.
WARDEN: "C'mon now!! What're we, 13 years old? Fighting? Really? Get them back to their cells. Except the Venom one. Bring him to solitary, I'll have a word with him there."
The guards help the images off the floor and to their cells. Venom is corralled and taken to a different section, he looks back and catches Green Goblin's eye.
VENOM: "Not without me!"
Green Goblin grins at Venom as he is forced further away to the solitary confinement cells.
I would like to greatly thank everyone who has read the series. This episode was alot of fun to write. But for fear of over saturation this might be the last one for a while.
