If so, you know he&#8217;s got an interesting perspective on the world of geekdom.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s the deal, he dictates and I type.\u00a0 All the words are his own.   Without further ado, I give you The Rambunctious Rascal&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why do heroes become heroes and villains become villains?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Heroes choose to be heroes because they think they have the responsibility or they have to.\u00a0 Because like the X-Men, Xavier thinks that he should make all the Mutants good and they should make humans feel safer around Mutants so they do not capture them and kill them.\u00a0 Jeepers that would hurt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And villains become villains because they have very good power and they think they could rule the world with their amazing power that they have.\u00a0 And they think they can rob banks whenever they want.\u00a0 And then soon some hero in tights would come in and beat their butts.\u00a0 And the villains would come back from the dead like always.\u00a0 Like Juggernaut or Mysterio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Y&#8217;know what?\u00a0 What if all the heroes had battle with all the villains?\u00a0 Maybe that should happen because if villains were supposed to rule the Earth, then they would win.\u00a0 If the heroes were supposed to rule the Earth, then they would win.\u00a0 If no one was supposed to rule the Earth, then they would all just die.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I think you get my point.\u00a0 So join me next time on The Rambunctious Rascal&#8217;s Blog.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">PS: Better than Shag&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img
