The ISS Takes on: Drank
by King Oblivion, Ph.D.
Drank is a canned, perfectly legal beverage meant to act as a substitute for the far-more-dangerous and therefore far-more-cool "purple drank --" also known as "purple stuff," "syrup," "sizzurp," and "lean" -- a concoction containing cough syrup, among other things, that makes its drinkers move and talk real slow, because apparently Southern rappers didn't speak slowly enough already. The canned version contains far less threatening ingredients, like valerian root and rose hips, but claims to have the same effect of "slowing your roll."
Of course, we thought it only fitting to test this Drank on ourselves.

How To Dump a Partner the ISS Way
by Flywingedmonkey
As a supervillian you will learn that members of the opposite sex will be lining up to throw themselves at you- either because of your wealth, power and general awesomeness or alternatively because you have a team loading them into catapults. To truly capitalize upon this it may become necessary to "lose" the partner you had back before you discovered your calling.

You seem to know absolutely nothing about technology and yet you somehow managed to take over your enemy's website. Bravo.

Even in the Current Economy, Crime Doesn't Pay
by Captain Freedom
In the current economy I've read story after story of people, ordinary citizens like you and me, well, perhaps, not like me unless you could bench-press a train station while it's on fire, but regular people who have fallen into the temptations of crime. To all of you who find your 401k to have gone south of Tierra Del Fuego and are currently dancing the lambada with the Emperor Penguins, I say, LO! All is not lost! There is still Good in the World!

Sometimes Villains Get In Trouble, Too...

Look, nobody's perfect. Sometimes, people get carried away promoting their creative projects and they forget the rules. It happens. It doesn't make us any less of what we are if, say, hypothetically, a supervillain were to extend politeness and maybe just a teensy little bit of forgiveness to a would-be hero in exchange for some free promotion on various Twitter feeds or something, it doesn't make her less evil, okay?

It looks like you should understand what they mean, but they don't mean anything.
Behold the meta-ness.
