rdfs:comment | - The evil counterpart to Infinite Supplies. We know how it goes. The good guy defeats the villain. Whatever the villain stole is returned, and his Doomsday Device is blown up. Every single time. Yet, time after time again, the villain is right back at it again next week, his Evil Minions at the ready. (Apparently their paychecks have not bounced.) See also No Delays for the Wicked and Step Three: Profit. Contrast with No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup. Not to be confused with a certain villain named Dark Matter. Forgot to Feed the Monster is a Subversion.

abstract | - The evil counterpart to Infinite Supplies. We know how it goes. The good guy defeats the villain. Whatever the villain stole is returned, and his Doomsday Device is blown up. Every single time. Yet, time after time again, the villain is right back at it again next week, his Evil Minions at the ready. (Apparently their paychecks have not bounced.) How on earth does he fund this? Why does anyone take him seriously anymore? The only possible explanation is that there have to be scores of successful operations the villain is undertaking that we're not seeing... much like how scientists speculate that there's "dark matter" in the universe - substances that can't be directly observed, but must exist if the universe is to keep working the way we believe it does. See also No Delays for the Wicked and Step Three: Profit. Contrast with No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup. Not to be confused with a certain villain named Dark Matter. Forgot to Feed the Monster is a Subversion. Examples of Offscreen Villain Dark Matter include:
