Sinister Gets Robbed!

Mister Sinister is outwitted by a cunning socialite named Ethis who steals his million-dollar gold fairy dolls from his castle while movie-star Leo DiCaprio is visiting him there!

This is a Marvel Comics capitalism fan-fiction inspired by the films The Monuments Men and Ocean's Eleven.

Cheers,

"Mister Sinister was hiding in his nefarious castle in the Swiss Alps in the cold winter of 2020. He had at his side his two wicked siren mistresses, Ivy and Talia, and he was planning a grand terrorist attack on the Space Needle in Seattle (Washington). Mister Sinister grew up in Transylvania before allying to the terrorist group ISIS and pledging to undermine various realms of American life for their plan to subvert Western domination. Mister Sinister was brooding in his castle of sin that winter while admiring his latest purchase, a pair of incredible gold-laden fairy-dolls worth over $20 million (because of the quality and rarity of the gold they were afforded). Mister Sinister called his gold fairies the Two Wings and planned to keep them for his two beautiful and wicked mistresses Ivy and Talia. Mister Sinister thought of ways to feel inspired by his gold doll Two Wings trophies and planned to create a media debacle ahead of his concocted terrorist attack on the Seattle Space Needle."

"The gold doll Two Wings trophies Mister Sinister kept in his castle of sin were truly remarkable. They were purchased by the nefarious mastermind on the black market after they were stolen by ISIS terrorists from the London Tower in the summer of 2019! Mister Sinister promised ISIS that he'd use the Two Wings as his special inspiration for his terrorist attack on the Space Needle, perhaps in the summer of 2020. Mister Sinister wondered if he should send his two wicked mistresses, Ivy and Talia, to the Space Needle to create a temporary distraction sufficient for him to infiltrate the tourist site and plant a devastating explosive. Perhaps he'd leave a photo of his Two Wings gold fairy dolls on the footsteps, in the ashes of the destroyed Space Needle, to send the message to the world that modern terrorism was all about anti-capitalism. Mister Sinister decided to invite a group of intellectuals and celebrities to his Swiss castle that winter for a special 'media party' (photographed by GQ Magazine!) and winter-retreat. He'd use the media-exposure of this party to add to his critique of modern capitalism. He invited software titan Bill Gates (of Microsoft), American casino-manager Ethis (of Caesar's Palace), rock-musician Mick Jagger (of the Rolling Stones), and movie-star Leo DiCaprio (star of Gangs of New York). They'd be shown the luster of the Two Wings gold fairy dolls at the publicized party in the Alps that winter!"

"Of the special celebrity-guests at Sinister's winter-castle party in 2020, the most eccentric was Caesar's Palace casino-manager (in Las Vegas!) Ethis. Ethis had managed the casino for about 3 years and had become infatuated with the glitter and dazzle of modern (21st Century) capitalism/consumerism. When Ethis received the invite to Sinister's publicized winter party, he was very eager to make a good impression for his casino. Ethis knew there would be photojournalists attending the party who'd want to ask him about the impact that modern-day celebrity-gatherings had on the social celebration of consumerism/entertainment hubs like Las Vegas. However, Ethis wanted to add some special spice to this winter-castle event. He'd wear a ski-mask after sneaking out of Sinister's castle late-at-night and then climb back in to the special room holding Sinister's iconic gold fairy dolls (which everyone believed were merely, albeit very valuable, gold-embossed replicas of the gold fairies stolen by the terrorist group ISIS from London Tower) and steal them! Ethis intended to carry the dolls back to Caesar's Palace after leaving homemade replicas of the dolls which he'd take with him to Sinister's winter-castle party. He'd then advertise the theft in GQ Magazine and claim he'd performed a harmless social prank on Mister Sinister to remind everyone of the general thrill of modern-day capitalism! It would be a terrific PR-boon for Caesar's Palace...and for Ethis."

"Ethis did exactly what he planned during Sinister's marvelous winter-castle party in the Alps. He carried the Two Wings gold dolls back to Las Vegas with the help of his friend Martin (an accountant) and began planning his media-statement with GQ Magazine. Sinister, meanwhile, didn't suspect a thing, since the replicas Ethis placed in his castle as visually-perfect substitutes for the authentic ones achieved the trick of deceiving all the party guests! Ethis was excited to create the special media-statement for GQ Magazine and hopefully draw in Sinister for a special Media Party at Caesar's Palace in the summer of 2020. Of course, the idealistic fun-loving Ethis had no idea that Sinister was planning an orchestrated terrorist attack on the Seattle Space Needle that very same summer! So, as Ethis and Martin carried the stolen Two Wings dolls back to Vegas in their attache, Sinister continued coordinating his anti-capitalism terrorist. Scheme. Ethis and Martin hoped this special PR-stunt would deliver home the message to the modern world that capitalism in the 21st Century was all about fanfare. This was either going to be a marvelous evangelical experience...or a Satanic debacle."

"At that winter-castle party, one of the invitees, movie-star Leo DiCaprio kept commenting on the appearance of the Two Wings gold fairy dolls, after Ethis and Martin had performed their late-night substitution heist! Leo insisted that the Two Wings dolls Sinister showed them was somehow a complete fake or rip-off. Sinister insisted that they were highly-valuable hand-crafted special 'replicas' of the authentic fairy-dolls stolen from London Tower by the terrorist group ISIS. However, Leo kept insisting that the gold dolls Sinister was showing them (after Ethis/Martin had already replaced Sinister's trophies with their own special replicas!) was not really a valuable item! Leo wanted to know what was so darn special about two gold-embossed fairies in a modern world more or less hypnotized or even obsessed by the ornamental vanities of consumerism and entertainment. Sinister was admittedly humbled by Leo's sarcasm, but he kept assuring the wild movie-star that his Two Wings trophies symbolized all the pomp and pageantry of modern capitalism. Leo wondered if he was simply a witness to some kind of modern diorama."

SINISTER: I suspect something foul...
ISIS: Why?
SINISTER: Ethis' little magazine-stunt startled everyone!
ISIS: Relax...he returned the gold dolls to you.
SINISTER: Yes, but now people feel a real frailty to treasure-hunting.
ISIS: It's all modern entertainment, Sinister; stay focused.
SINISTER: I know I need to coordinate the Space Needle job.
ISIS: Right; you're sending your two dames, Ivy and Talia?
SINISTER: Yes, indeed.
ISIS: Well, what's so frazzling about Leo or Ethis' public statements?
SINISTER: I just want to be in control of everything...that's all!
ISIS: After this attack on Seattle, you'll feel like master of your castle.
SINISTER: Even Ivy and Talia are giggling at me.
ISIS: These society stunts always fade with time, Sinister.
SINISTER: Well, alright.
ISIS: Remember, this attack on the Space Needle will create needed press.
SINISTER: I have the gold fairy dolls back in my possession now.
ISIS: So, you're intending to leave the trophies on the footsteps of the destroyed Needle?
SINISTER: Yes, and this will accent my media-statement about modern terrorism.
ISIS: It seems you have all the elements of this concocted evil well-at-hand!
SINISTER: Indeed; as long as there's no distraction, everything will go like butter.
ISIS: Congratulations; beware of any false idols.
