Next to saving the world (or universe, as the case may be), one of the main goals of heroes is to capture and potentially reform villains. In the Marvel universe, the place where the most powerful and dangerous villains go to serve their sentences is called The Raft. And a program has been established, shutdown and reestablished from that location a number of times to create a team of villains willing to put their lives on the line to deal with the most difficult of situations. That team is known as The Thunderbolts. Continue reading Comics Cosmos – Thunder Struck

That’s all well and good, but the bigger question is, are we ready for a live action Heroes for Hire? I’d say, no.
