When the world wants you to have nothing, take everything.
Dr. Everything is a supervillain who wants nothing short of that. He has the brains and the power to take it, but there is one annoying superhero standing in his way: The Courageous Cricket-Man. The irritating insect has been a thorn in Dr. Everything's side for years, but the villain is not alone in his annoyance. He knows he can't take the world on his own, so he'll have to rely on a few fellow supervillains to aid him in his endeavor to rid Pristine City of its cricket infestation problem.
Osprey's a brilliant inventor who can soar through the sky thanks to his own set of metallic wings and flight pack. He's had a contentious past with Dr. Everything, but are they willing to put all that happened between them aside to destroy their common enemy?
Bad Juju and the Glamourous Gargoyle are former tag team partners turned supervillains, and Dr. Everything needs them as well. Bad Juju is a master illusionist who can turn reality on its head with a few muttered magic words, and Glam Gargoyle can wield enough Hellfire to turn her victims to ashes. Rounding out the team is Kilowatt, a surly miscreant and bank robber with electricity in his veins.
Despite their differences, these five villains are destined to become THE UNFORTUNATE FIVE!
Cricket-Man isn't going to know what hit him, but defeating the black-suited bug may be the least of the Unfortunate Five's problems. They'll still have to deal with breaking out of prison, infighting among Pristine City's other baddies, learning to work as a cohesive group, and all the other unknown variables that pop up in Dr. Everything's exhaustive calculations.
But nothing worth having is ever given freely.
