The Birth Of The Modern Real-World Villain!

The president himself has asked Brain Boy to investigate an odd person:

OK, a rich person actually paying taxes would be an unusual occurrence!

Anyhoo, it turns out that Krisher had cracked the time travel problem. Bly killed him, and used his time machine to go back and collect treasures from the past, then bring them back to the present and sell them to get rich.

Just to get rich? Surely that's not all there is to it?!?

Man, Bly was just a few decades ahead of his time, wasn't he? He'd fit right in in 2018.

P.S. Someone tell Doctor Doom he's going about it wrong...
