Comic: The customer, enraged, shoves Norm's head into the scanner! Customer: YOU CHEAP MUG! I'LL GET YOUSE! AAGH! Boss: GRUNTLESS! You broke the scanner! You're fired! Comic: Driven criminally insane by the laser scanner and the general unfairness of it all, Gruntless combos Fearmonger, the Menace Merchant! Merchant: HA HA HA! I'LL MAKE THEM PAY FOR THIS! AND NO COUPONS OR DISCOUNTS EITHER! Andre: That's the most compelling comic book super villain origin story I've ever read. Petey: It was too action packed.

And so was born Fearmonger, the Menace Merchant! What a character. He scares me, I’ll tell you.And Petey is correct to some degree, in that there was a good amount of action. But then that goes with the territory in the genre….

“Fearmonger the Menace Merchant”…or perhaps Petey means the Merchant of Menace?
