The Fate of Businessboy

Marvel Comics is looking for superheroes, which may explain the rumor about a new dynamic duo, Agent Orange and his son-in-law, Businessboy. Agent Orange's super talent is found in his tiny paws. He grasps humans by their parts, rendering them helpless, and, at the same time, using his free paw, clamps on any money they might have and extracts it with loud boasting. Businessboy's super talent is to make things smaller, particularly real estate investments, whose values shrink whenever he buys properties. 

These two don't fight evil alone. With them comes a small army of helpers, mostly urinators. The ironic catch is that Businessboy's father is a really nasty ex-con, and Businessboy seems to be heading, against his will, down the same road. Yet there's nothing he fears more than the shame of  prison food. Businessboy is secretly petrified by his seemingly inexorable fate. His stony face, very smooth, is hairless with fear. And there's apparently nothing he can do to stop his slide into urination, spankings and a tiny barred room on the Hudson.
