Villain idea: guy who shorts stocks of insurance companies before destroying things they insure.

That's literally the plot of 'Casino Royale.'

Huh, so it is. I'd been thinking of using the idea for a Champions campaign for how an Iron Man knock off got his money.

The plot there is to raise $20 million and use $50,000 to put on a play that closes the first night.
