When I  read superhero comics when I was a kid, I would sometimes wonder about the guys who were helping out the super-villains. Why would anybody work for the villains, who ALWAYS ended up getting beaten senseless by the heroes?  Anyone who wanted to be a henchman would have to be crazy.

I recently reconsidered the idea and wondered if  henchmen might be like those people we all know who are plugging away at a less than ideal  job because they need the work. Maybe super-villain henchmen are  just regular folks who are stuck in a job working for the ultimate ‘bad boss.’
