They also have personal lives designed to garner sympathy; they'll relate on-panel to relatives, friends, partners or just people in the street in ways that show us that beneath their rough exterior, the

People think jerks always get the girl (or guy), but as Joss Whedon's Emmy darling "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" showed the world, super villains don't generally have the easiest time hooking up. Thankfully for lovelorn would-be-world-conquerors, Asylum has tracked down some personal ads that prove Craigslist may be a villain's most viable option for connecting with that super special
