HS - Big Plan

Using an array of spy satellites and robotic insects provided by the Global Crime League and their nearly bottomless resources, Hammerspace's team followed the heroes back to their homes. Only a few of them were lost in the trek (and they still remain out there to this day). After learning the heroes secret identities and living arrangements, the villains had every advantage.

They struck in the night, in teams of at least three for the less threatening heroes and as many as ten for the stronger class three costumed crusaders. And so fell most of Earth's superheroes – not locked in titanic struggles against giant mutants and maniacal madmen, but blasted to death in their sleep by creeping bad dudes with deathly death lasers of death. Why supervillains have not done this before is a subject of much speculation.

It was easy to do and didn't require large sums of resources. It certainly wasn't a problem of ingenuity either, considering comic book nerds have been bringing up the idea for at least fifty years. I venture to say after my experiences that the explanation is psychological – that most supervillains would rather feed their own egos by battling in costumes in front of screaming onlookers than actually achieve any sort of result. Hammerspace is a little bit different of course.
