Captain ILL has been thinking about redecorating the ILL cave for some time, and seeing this book has finally inspired him to get moving on the project. Captains aren't kings and don't really need throne rooms, but the cover picture looks so awesome the Captain needs to have a room like it somewhere in the cave. Perhaps it would make a good rumpus room. The ILL cave will definitely need a council room for important meetings with groups of superheroes, and the picture of the Trustees Council Chamber of the United Nations on page 579 looks like it would work as well for superheroes as it does for diplomats. The breakfast room of Sir John Soane on page 512 has lots of bookshelves in it, and the Captain likes books (more for decoration than for reading) so he'll want something like that in the cave. It'll be lots of work, but if he can get the Flash to pitch in, it should be done in ... well, a flash.

I would caution Captain ILL in this venture, because interior design is a slippery slope. Too often superheroes make their various caves TOO comfortable, and then they never want to leave when booting is called for.
This is an excellent point and, combined with the astronomical estimates the Captain has received from designers and contractors, he has decided to keep the ILL cave in it's original pristine state. Besides, it's hard to do any excavations because the walls are veined with a clear, glass-like substance much harder than ordinary rock.
Still...a rumpus room. What I wouldn't do for one of those!
It's true, you can't beat a good rumpus room. The Captain has a rumpus room in his current abode, but it's not really big enough to do any real rumpusing.
I suppose I could designate a Rumpus Corner, but that just isn't the same.
How about a rumpus area, designated as a 20 foot radius around your current location?
A personal Rumpus Zone!
