Hello CBMers!!!
The mega sized incarceration facility, Supermax, now completed and located in parts unknown. It was built to house the greatest comic book villains to one maximum secured super structure. The villains are placed in unbreakable handcuffs (similar to what Loki had in Avengers) that dampen any superpowers for transport. They are then placed on a bus and transferred to the Supermax. The Supermax houses six different wings with multiple cells to each. The cells are nicknamed "glass boxes" due to the barrier of see through reinforced glass where bars would be in a common prison. And now a look at what happens within those hardened walls and between the captured CBM villains.
Part of the fun is to imagine the assembled characters as by the following portrayals. Voice wise and look; as based upon their more memorable appearance from each one's movies. Only a few characters' appearances will be described.

INSIDE CELL A-2: Riddler and Zod
The cell is cast in complete darkness, only a slimmer of light shines from a nearby safety light.
RIDDLER: "*singing* Hello darkness my old friend."
ZOD: "Is this your doing, human?"
RIDDLER: "Not this part. Do you recall that introverted somewhat nerdish bald fella? The one whom your female compatriot aligned with?"
ZOD: "Of course, his bald head will crush in my palm. Why Faora has committed such treason is perplexing."
RIDDLER: "C'mon now, I know you're new here, hell, new to Earth. But try to leave the riddles to me, it's sorta of my thing. Without that, I might as well as paint my face and...nevermind. About your woman, Luthor wanted me to tell you...and I quote, his words, not mine. 'Stay off my planet'."
Zod shuffles in the dark toward Riddler's voice.
ZOD: "You conspire with HIM!!"
Zod falls to one knee however, pained and exasperated. Riddler is holding a small glowing green object before Zod.
RIDDLER: "Sheesh, must you be so dramatic. You claim to have been bred to be a general, but I'm starting to wondering if you got that mixed with community theater actor. Anyway, this is a material created by our bald associate from some of that wreckage you left all around his city. Hasn't quite named it yet, I suggested Schumacher's rock. Apparently Luthor's analysis is correct, unfortunately for you, it kills you Kryptonians. Although he had hoped to work alongside you in killing that other flying buffoon, better judgment got ahold of him and he's just going to kill you. He'd rather work with your lady, I'm sure she smells better. *moves right next to Zod and whispers in his ear* Riddle me this, still think you'll find him?"
Riddler drops the green rock before Zod, who falls over completely, blood drooling from his mouth. The cell door whooshes open and Riddler exits.
INSIDE CELL A-1: Joker and Bane
In complete darkness, Joker lays splayed out upon the floor, having just suffered Bane's back breaker.
JOKER: "OUCH! Dammit Bane, I'm sending you my chiropractic bills! I missed the deadline for Obamacare! Who turned out the lights?"
BANE: "I was born in the darkness, the shadows betray you jester."
JOKER: "Thanks. Believe me, I was so intrigued to learn about your back story. Ouch, do you think I'll be healed up by Halloween? I have the greatest costume! So, why did Luthor want me out?"
BANE: "You're to invested in chaos. Chaos drives you, empowers you, inspires you. Luthor is about control and design."
JOKER: "And you're just a lap dog. I thought we were bros. We talked about opening a bar together, remember? Rogues? Where everyone might kill you? But...but...you forgot, bros before.."
BANE: "I would do anything for Talia, I am her protector."
JOKER: "That reminds me. Did I ever tell you how I got these scars? You see, I was thrown in a prison inside a hole and when the inmates tried to attack this..."
The cell door whooshes open and Joker watches as Bane exits.
JOKER: "Where does he get those wonderful coats?"
INSIDE CELL B-1: Magneto and Justin Hammer
Hammer cowers in the corner as Sabertooth approaches, Juggernaut and Magneto stand near the hole in the wall created by Juggernaut. The room is shadowed in darkness however as well.
MAGNETO: "Is this a part of the escape?"
JUGGERNAUT: "No one said anything about the lights going out."
SABER: "Be glad you don't have heightened senses. This guy is filling the room with the stink of urine."
MAGNETO: "Pathetic."
HAMMER: "Listen, listen, I can help you. I can get you resources you've never had access to before. Please. Please. I can help you! Hell I'm sure I've got some mutant in me, my grandparents immigrated here from France!"
JUGGERNAUT: "Should kill him for that."
MAGNETO: "Very well human. We'll see if your money can match your mouth. Bring him."
Juggernaut and Sabertooth stare at each other.
SABER: "What? You're the one with super strength. I got long nails."
Juggernaut lifts Hammer with one hand and throws him onto his shoulder. The group exits through the hole made inside the cell.
INSIDE CELL B-2: Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus
The pair stand in the cell cloaked in darkness as well.
GOBLIN: "What is this Ock? Did the cube cause it?"
OCTOPUS: "No. I think this might be the work of something or someone else."
GOBLIN: "Now is our chance! How do you work this? Make it open the door."
The cell door opens quickly.
GOBLIN: "Hmm, that was easy."
OCTOPUS: "It doesn't work that way, Norman. Follow me I know a secret passage."
Green Goblin follows Dr. Octopus as he goes through a nearby side door marked "maintenance". Inside, the two traverse down a long spiral stairway into a sewage area.
GOBLIN: "Brilliant Otto. We'll sneak out right below them."
They come upon a large laboratory area. Lizard sits at a computer screen and the Penguin stands opposite, twirling an umbrella.
LIZARD: " Good to see you made it Otto."
OCTOPUS: "No kidding, what happened to the lights?"
PENGUIN: "Oddly enough, another escape attempt by a completely different group."
GOBLIN: "Hold on! What's going on here? Otto, you work with these sewer dwelling rejects?"
OCTOPUS: "I make alliances when it benefits me Norman. Just as you."
GOBLIN: "You must be joking. Hahaha. What are you guys? The 'Coalition of Evil Pathetic Animal Themed Villains'? You cannot be serious Otto. Working with someone who wanted to make a world of lizard people. The man wanted to bring 'Land of the Lost' to life. And Penguin? He made an assault on a city with an army of penguins. PENGUINS!! Morgan Freeman could have narrated his entire battle plan."
LIZARD: "I don't think Rhino's going to like him."
GOBLIN: "RHINO!??!"
CORRIDOR A
The warden, flanked by two guards hurriedly make their way down the hallway.
WARDEN: "Anything? Why haven't we got the damn lights back on?"
GUARD: "Reports say it's because of some kind of outside interference. Even worse news, reports indicate that the inmates are piling out into the hallways. Soon the backup power for the power suppressing bracelets will fail as well."
WARDEN: "Call the capes."
GUARD: "Which ones?"
WARDEN: "EVERYONE!!!!!"
INSIDE THE SUPERMAX CAFETERIA
The four figures of Lex Luthor, Faora, Talia Al Ghul and Hector Hammond have assembled in the middle of the cafeteria. One by one they are joined by Riddler, Bane, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, and Poison Ivy.
BANE: "The plan proceeds flawlessly Luthor."
LUTHOR: "Hector?"
HAMMOND: "Seems their calling in the supers. The mutants are at the perimeter. And Penguin has the others assembled down below. So, distractions in place. A few inmates are scrambling about without purpose."
LUTHOR: "Excellent. Inform Loki. Tell him where he can come collect his cube. The rock Riddler left should just about be incapacitated."
RIDDLER: "What? I thought you wanted Zod dead?"
LUTHOR: "He still has one good purpose to serve. As the capes show up, the bracelets will be disabled. The heroes will have quite the cast of characters to contend with. We'll be well on our way out of here."
CATWOMAN: "How?"
LUTHOR: " *points toward the A.B.U.S which is crashed through a wall of the Supermax* Our chariot."
They all make their way onto the bus, Luthor is the final one to board. Before he can board he's suddenly grabbed from behind by Joker who holds a knife up to Luthor's throat.
JOKER: "Don't count out a good wild card Lexie. You should've known, I'm supposed to kill the bus driver. Hahaha. Rather than tell you how I got these scars, I think I'll SHOW YOU!"
Once more, thank you immensely to all those that have read.
