  > Steele-Blooded Steve
  Steele-Blooded Steve lives alone with his mother. At a young age his father left him and his mother to find work; he never came back. This early absence of his father has lead Steele-Blooded Steve on a path of destruction and toward a goal of world domination. This goal isn't fueled by reason, other than chaos and how he enjoys pain. He hopes to one day defeat Dr. Horrible. He's a loaner, and has been training rigorously in his mom's basement for the last few months, thriving off of mac and cheese and Mt. Dew.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve sits in his bean-bag chair in his Mom's basement, writing in his diary.
  
  "Today during my work-out routine I achieved a new goal. I ate 12 panes of glass, swallowed 52 nails, and hit myself in the face with a hammer 75 times in a row. This would put anyone else in hospital, but not me. I enjoy this, I crave this, I yearn for this. Some people love their dog, others love to watch movies...I love PAIN! My love for pain will defeat Dr. Horrible one day...One day soon!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve slams his diary closed, gets up, and walks over to the card table he has set-up. On the table is a ninja star, a knife, and a throwing axe.
  
  > Ninja Star
  "One day! ONE DAY I WILL DEFEAT DR. HORRIBLE AND RULE THE WORLD!!!! MUA-HAHAHAHA!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve throws the ninja at the wall, it ricochets, and hits him dead in the forehead.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Yes, that feels good!"
  
  Moments later Steve's mom comes down and asks Steve to go to the store to pick up some Milk.
  
  > Grocery Store
  Steele-Blooded Steve barely makes it to the grocery store on his bike. His tire is now flat again.
  
  In the breeze-way he grabs a cart. As he's pushing his cart and crossing off items on the list, he's thinking about his plans in the events to come. He knows he will one day defeat Dr. Horrible, but he hasn't figured out how yet.
  
  After grabbing everything from the list, he goes to the cash register to find his arch-nemesis, Dr. Horrible. He is now to the next step in his plan of ruling the world.
  
  > Grocery Store Stare-Down, Steve's View
  There he was, my enemy. "But I can't defeat him here," Steele-Blooded Steve thought. "I'm not prepared."
  
  Deep in thought, Steve blankly stared at Dr. Horrible. For another five or so minutes there was an awkward connection--so to speak--between the two...
  
  "I know! I will follow Dr. Horrible home and defeat him there." Steele-Blooded Steve thought "He'll never suspect that! I can go to the gun store and..."
  
  Cashier: "That'll be 57.90, sir!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Oh sorry, I must have zoned out. My apologies, here you go."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve hands the cashier the money, goes out the door, and waits to follow the unsuspecting Dr. Horrible.
  
  > follow Dr. Horrible
  After about 10 minutes, Steele-Blooded Steve sees Dr. Horrible leave and begins to follow him. All the while he is thinking of a way to defeat him... He could buy a gun on the way, grab his bat from his house, or let him tire himself as he enjoys his beating. As he is thinking to himself, in pursuit of Dr. Horrible, he starts to notice the abnormal route Dr. Horrible is taking. The route is going away from all the life in the city... It is going towards the graveyard.
  
  > Graveyard Fight
  As Steele-Blooded Steve enters the graveyard he sees a freshly dug grave to the right of the entrance with shovels sticking in the ground. He goes and grabs a shovel and continues to follow Dr. Horrible to a grave. He is met by Captain Hammer. Steele-Blooded Steve waits behind some shrubbery for the right moment to strike.
  
  As he listens, he realizes the grave they are standing around is the grave of Penny, Captain Hammer's love.
  
  After a while Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer begin to fight. Steve watches and waits until the right moment and then jumps out...
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Ha-ha! I've got you now!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve quickly hits both Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible over the head with a shovel and, with hardly any struggle at all, beats them.
  
  Now that Steve has beaten both Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer, he is recognized by the Evil League Of Evil. The formal invitation he receives later tells him the location of the HQ.
  
  > Evil League Of Evil
  With the recent success of Steele-Blooded Steve, he has made himself a proper, recognized villain and gained membership to the Evil League Of Evil.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve is seen mingling with some members of the League, particularly Professor Normal.
  
  Steele- Blooded Steve: "So what was your most recent invention?"
  
  Professor Normal: "My most recent invention was a automatic-bed-maker. Would you like to see it?"
  
  > view Bed Maker
  Steve follows the professor to his laboratory where he see's a large amount of inventions in different states between finished and unfinished.
  
  Eventually they make it to his automatic bed maker. On the way there Steve see's a red door labeled "TOP SECRET".
  
  Steve: "Hey Professor, what's behind that red door there."
  
  Professor: "Oh that's...umm....*clears throat*...umm...that's a closet."
  
  Steve can tell that there is something extremely important behind this door, just by the stutter the Professor has in his speech.
  
  Professor Normal: "So, here it is, my latest invention."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Why'd you make this?"
  
  Professor Normal: "I was tired of my kids complaining every morning when they were told to make their beds and....."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve abruptly interrupts the professor.
  
  Steel-Blooded Steve: "Okay I'm sorry, but I have to know what's behind that door."
  
  Professor Normal: "Okay Steele-Blooded Steve, it is a robot meant to defeat an enemy we had a couple years ago."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve now knows what tool he can use to get a step closer to his goal of world domination. He now needs to make a choice. Gain trust with the professor OR go behind his back.
  
  > continue Banter
  Steele-Blooded Steve knows what he has to do to gain more information about the robot.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "So, enough about your inventions. How's the wife and kids?"
  
  Professor Normal: "They're great. I just wish that I had more time alone with my wife. We haven't seen a show in years. We just can't seam to find a sitter."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Well you know, maybe I can be of service. I have a couple nephews of my own that I babysit. People have told me that I'm really good with kids."
  
  Professor Normal: "Oh would you!!!??? That would be awesome. How's tomorrow at 7pm sound? We'll pay your too."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Oh don't worry about payment. The pleasure is all mine. I'll see you at 7 tomorrow."
  
  > 7pm The Next Day, Professor Normals House
  Steele-Blooded Steve arrives at the professors house and rings the doorbell. The professors's wife opens the door.
  
  Mrs. Professor Normal: "Well hello! It's so nice of you to do this for us. The professor and I haven't had a night out in forever! Please come in!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve enters the doorway into the living room.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Oh it's not a problem. I love kids."
  
  He sees the professor sitting down in the living room.
  
  Professor Normal: "The schedule we usually keep with the kids is on the table and there's money to order a pizza on the counter. If you need to contact me my number is on the top of the schedule. We'll be back around 12. Have a great time!"
  
  The professor and his wife leave the house and drive off. Now it's time for Steele-Blooded Steve to get as much information about the robot and where it's at as possible. Hopefully the kids can be of use.
  
  > The Play Room
  Steele-Blooded Steve makes his way to the play room where the three children are playing.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Hey kids, what game are you playing?"
  
  Isabel: "We're playing cops and robbers! Want to play?"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "I'd love to! Am I a cop or a robber?"
  
  Isabel: "You can be a robber if you'd like."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Okay. I think I want to rob a bank."
  
  Mark: "What kind of gun do you have?:
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Well I don't have a gun. I have a giant robot suit!"
  
  Greg: "Oh my dad has a robot like that, that he invented!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Oh really!? Have you gotten to see it before?"
  
  Mark: "I have!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Where'd you go to see it"
  
  Mark: "There's a red door in my father's laboratory and it's in there."
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Can you show me it?"
  
  Mark: "YEAH but I don't know where the key is."
  
  Isabel: "I do! I do! It's in mommy's jewelry box."
  
  Isabel goes and retrieves the key and they all head out to the laboratory.
  
  > The Red Door Room
  Inside the room there is only one thing, the robot. It's a giant ten story tall machine that sits in the middle of the room. It looks like something you would see from NASA. There's steam pouring off it. The roof looks as though it can open... and then you see the robot's feet. Both feet have rockets attached to them.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "This thing can fly!!! I am most certainly going to defeat the league now!!!"
  
  > jump In Robot Suit
  Steele-Blooded Steve opens the ceiling, jumps in the robot suit and flies out in a flurry of fire and smoke. He is ready to defeat the league. First he needs to make a public statement telling the world of his upcoming plans. He goes to Chanel 3 News Headquarters and waits.
  
  In moments, news crews are there. Steele-Blooded Steve makes his announcement.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "I am Steele-Blooded Steve! In a matter of hours I plan to be the ruler of all you wretched people. The Evil League Of Evil will soon be defeated, and any hero you once knew will parish in my wrath! So come and get me Evil League Of Evil! I'll be ready!"
  
  > Final Battle
  From 10 stories up, Steele-Blooded Steve sees in the distance two silhouettes. As they get closer and closer he sees that neither one is a member of the Evil League of Evil. It is Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "They must have banded together after their embarrassment at the graveyard! Well I'll show them!!! MWA-HA-HA-HA!!!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve starts to get everything primed and ready in the robot. He announces each one out loud.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Thrusters on. Machine gun deployed. After burner's primed. Rockets engaged."
  
  Both Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer are in range now. He decides to fire in between them, not to hurt them but to taunt them.
  
  > Rockets
  Steele-Blooded Steve fires a single rocket in between the two of them. Both Captain Hammer and Dr. Horrible get thrown away from the blast. Dr. Horrible seams to not be moving. Captain Hammer get's up and brushes off the dust from both his shoulders.
  
  Captain Hammer: "Is that the best you got!?"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "There's plenty more where that came from. You're in for a beating!"
  
  Captain Hammer: "We'll see about that!"
  
  Captain Hammer starts sprinting towards the feet of the robot. Steele-Blooded Steve was not ready for such a quick reaction and is unable to stop him before he gets to the robot.
  
  > The Right Thruster
  Captain Hammer gets to the right foot of the robot and tears it off with his massive strength. The robot becomes unbalanced and starts to fall to one side. Steele-Blooded Steve, although bewildered and caught off guard, manages to hit the Balance Fail Safe button. He then tries to fly away from Captain Hammer.
  
  After about 10 seconds of flight the robot starts to descend. The lack of a right thruster has grounded the robot.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "Damn! DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!"
  
  In this excitement Dr. Horrible has been able to sneak away and place himself on the roof of the Channel 3 News building with his freeze ray pointed directly at the robot.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve slowly makes his way towards Dr. Horrible, shooting rockets but missing everyone.
  
  Dr. Horrible: "Try this on for size!!!"
  
  Dr. Horrible shoots the freeze-ray at the robot and hit it dead in the chest. This immobilizes the robot forcing Steele-Blooded Steve to get out. Steve runs towards towards the front door of the Channel 3 News building but is hit in the back of the head with a rock.
  
  Captain Hammer: "Bulls Eye!!!"
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve is now lying on the ground unable to move, barely holding consciousness.
  
  > The Final Scene
  With severely blurred vision Steele-Blooded Steve sees two figures standing above him. In a few moments he sees that it is Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer, both grinning.
  
  Steele-Blooded Steve: "But you don't understand. I enjoy pain! No one else can...no one can...I'm supposed to be ruling the world now! NO!"
  
  Dr. Horrible: "Face it, Steve. There isn't enough room in this world for another villain. We've beaten you and that's all there is to it."
  
  Captain Hammer grabs Steele-Blooded Steve by the neck and throws him in the back of an armored vehicle to be taken to prison. All the while Steele-Blooded Steve is laughing uncontrollably due to the pain he is in.
