(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] Oh... right, sorry 'bout that, $name. Where were we again? Oh yes... The Iron Menace. Back in '69, I settled the score once and for all when I tricked the Menace into touching the Orb of Ferricus. Encased that super-conductive evil-doer in a prison of EterniRust! Or so I thought... This morning I went for a swim, and when I came back I found [[this|DeathNote]] under my door.]

(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] Ah, The Orb of Prognostication... what a saga that was. The year was 1954. I had tracked the Menace all the way to a cave entrance deep in the jungles of the Congo. The Orb promised the Gift of Eternal Foresight to those who could hold it, but little did either of us realize... it required an eye for an eye. Literally. ''The Menace lost an eye that day.'' And thanks to me, lost the Orb too when I thrust it into a pit of molten lava. Menace didn't see that one comin' I can tell you that.] [[So the Menace lost an eye... how insightful.|StoryComplete]]

(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] Ah. The Horn of Desroth. A classic. Let's take a trip back to 1962... where I had just successfully warded off an invasion of Kra'ath hordes at Groom Lake. I handed the defeated Kra'ath leader, Desroth, over to the military, not realizing that the Iron Menace had infilrated their ranks. Within hours, the Menace had killed Desroth and made away with Desroth's most powerful weapon... a HORN that when blown, had the ability to melt the brains of any enemies within earshot. Only problem was, the Horn had a built-in failsafe... if wielded by a non-Kra'ath life-form, instead of melting brains it would ''blow out the eardrum'' of the unworthy usurper. You can guess what happened next... ] [[So The Menace is hard of hearing now...|StoryComplete]]

(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] Word to the wise... never try to outfit a herd of elephants with laser beams. The Menace learned that one the hard way in '61. Got trampled by an African Grey and ''never walked straight'' ever again.] [[The Menace has a limp... good to know.|StoryComplete]]

(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] Selachimorpha Fidelium? Ah yes. There was a brief period when the Menace became obssessed with breeding a new type of super-shark that was not only extra vicious, but also had the loyalty of a Labrador Retriever. What supervillain //wouldn't// want an army of a faithful great whites? But the Menace's chief engineer got overly confident in the success of the project, and as a proof of concept... stepped into the breeding tank before the sharks were fully domesticized. The raw display of carnage witnessed that day was enough to ensure that the Menace ''never dipped as much as a toe in the water'' again.] [[The Menace is afraid of water... that could come in handy.|StoryComplete]]

(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] You want to know about Operation 'Peanut Brittle?' Very well. I think the year was 1957. Maybe '58. And the Menace was going through a particularly nasty torture phase. Kidnapped a scientist to build a ray gun that would turn strong bones to brittle twigs in a flash. Needless to say, the experiment backfired thanks to yours truly... and the Menace henceforth needed to ''consume mass amounts of calcium'' everyday just to avoid bonebreaks. Iron? More like 'The Wafer Menace' after that...] [[The Menace has a calcium dependency... good to know.|StoryComplete]]

(display:"GrampsPhoto")$D[(text-style: "underline")[GRAMPS] You want to hear about Project Nurture? Sure. Back in '65 the Menace was dead set on mastering the art of mind control. Attempted to taint the world's vegetable supply with a persuasion serum that, if successful, would infect the masses and essentially create an overnight army of brainwashed minions willing to fulfil the Menace's every whim. The plan went off without a hitch... that is, right up until the point when I forced a plate full of broccoli down the Menace's own throat. Ten minutes later, the Menace walked right into a prison and voluntarily confessed to the whole thing. Never ate a single vegetable ever again after that.] [[The Menace hates vegetables.
