Manic Monday Triple Overtime--What Villains Did Before LegalZoom Existed!!

Let's say that you're Paste-Pot Pete, and are desperately in need of some legal advice. What do you do?

Why, burst through a lawyer's window and start spraying paste everywhere!!

But he has a serious legal question.




Now, there's all kinds of obvious flaws here: of course you can be convicted even if they can't find the body; getting representation through a threat voids any attorney/client privilege so you just confessed; and anyway telling your lawyer about a future crime you intend to commit isn't protected either.

But don't worry, it was all a feint by the Trapster, anyway:

See, he just wanted to lure Daredevil out!!

Oh, you're wondering how he planned to kill Daredevil without leaving a corpse behind?



Well, you had to borrow the Wizard's tech to make it work, Pete, so maybe don't crow to loudly.

Plus, big surprise, Daredevil gets out of it:



The Trapster--always a loser.

From Daredevil #35 (1967)

Can't help thinking Matt blew an opportunity there. He should have kept one or two of those discs for those future times when he gets thrown off tall buildings!
