Riches Within Your Reach seems to be a book about how to use the power of God to get rich. Books like this make Captain ILL sad, and not just because the Captain is not rich himself. There are lots and lots of supervillains out there who started their careers with a simple goal like "I want to be the richest man in the world". Unfortunately, it's all too easy for a simple goal like that to lead someone down the path of villainy and despictitude! All superheroes know that money is a "gateway" vice that can never be satiated; from money comes power, from power comes superpower, and from there it's only a few short steps to torturing puppies and building doomsday devices. Captain ILL makes more than enough money for his simple needs by endorsing quality products and selling advertising space on his costume and ILLmobile ... he's never tempted by bribes or by offers to become an exclusive superhero for one of those big corporations like Pepsi or the Church of Scientology (or he wouldn't be tempted if he were actually offered one). Please follow the Captain's example and know when enough is enough.

I can't help but to think that executives from WaMu, Merrill Lynch, AIG and so on and so forth would endorse that book since they seem to think they have a divine right to their $50 million no matter what.
They despise socialism on the one hand, but promote socialism for the rich on the other.
Wall Street has always been a place for supervillains to raise capital for their dastardly schemes ...
