When appeals to self-preservation fail, there is always the buyout option.

Remember, Team Kick did score a pretty big financial windfall off of Mayor Death Jester and the faked assassination attempt by that pseudo-Canadian assassin. Sure, they've been spending money on feeding and relocating refugees and also buying black market food and gear for their Kick Boy army. But Grayhawk probably knows a thing about investing in cryptocurrencies and in Jaguar-themed stocks. If we go back in time, where did I tell everyone to buy JAGX stock? When it was $0.059 USD? As of this Sunday it is at $0.88!

Full disclosure: That is not as impressive as it sounds, I think they had a 4:1 reverse stock split at one point. It's still almost a 4-fold increase.

Always bet on Black Jaguars!

Speaking of sure things, always be sure to invest in Kick Points. Here are the winners of the name-a-villain page from a couple of weeks ago. All in one image!

10 Kick Points each for Swimsquad and John B for coming up with two super villain names each. As the official sponsors for these villains you now need to create back stories for each of them in a 3-panel comic format. All rights and merchandising for said villains still remain the property of KICKMAN, LLC. Thanks for your hard work!
