$46 mil.
My needs are simple.
Thinking about it out loud, though, I could go with (Giant-Sized) Man-Thing instead, which would increase my Marvel/Dc mix, and avoid a bidding war with you.
So, my offer for ST is withdrawn.
$105m for Dr Doom instead.
(Rob - we are confined to DC and Marvel, right?)

He wasn't a crime fighter or a "super hero". He was just a being with a special connection to plant life. You can't "retire" from that.
Yeah, but I was not claiming that in any way. His retirement was from the printed page. I thought that was obvious. ![[no no no]](graemlins/nono.gif)

TK -- which Captain Marvel do you mean? The Marvel one or the DC one? We need clarification. I think that's why it hasn't been addressed yet.

Dave, my client accepts. If I may offer one word of advice: I wouldn't mention the draft to him again under any circumstances. He is "deigning to grace you with his reverred person." For the love of God, please leave it at that.

$95,000,000 for Capt. Marvel (DC)
TK, a large man wearing a red suit and a huge grin just flew into my office window. He claims to be "Holy Moley" or "Captain Marvel," one of the two, although he clearly isn't one of the Captain Marvels in my universe of operation. How he got here has something to do with a Rock of Eternity, whatever that may be. None the less, he wants me to represent him.
Let me start by saying that my new client is thrilled by your offer. Perhaps a bit too thrilled, because he says that $95 million is far too much. He will go for $10 million, not a dollar more, to be paid to the charity of your choice. Evidently he suffers from some form of low self esteem.
I must say that this is highly irregular and against my best professional advice, but there it is. The gentleman in question is quite strong. I don't want to risk angering him.
So the offer is $10 million for this Holy Moley person. Please accept and take him off my hands.

TK, this is highly irregular. A man whose head is actually on fire (not Firelord, one of my FF family clients) claims to have accompanied Holy Moley to my universe to seek representation with my agency. Evidently, Firestorm is his travelling name.
Is this the Firestorm you seek? If so, he gladly accepts your offer of $50 million.

Piggy, this is highly, highly irregular. I am led to wonder if some hyperdimensional vortex has not opened outside my office window.
I'll spare you the details and bottom-line it for you. One Mary Marvel, who seems to have some connection to Holy Moley, is now represented by Northwood LLC. She reacted badly when she learned of Mr. Moley's actions and feels compelled to make up some lost revenue, so she's holding out for more money.
Thank you for your interest.

My apologiez TTT, I did not know you were representing the whole X-Men group. The reason I represented Nightwing was because I was subbing in for Rob, who was absent at the time. If its not too much trouble can you give me some people to represent from the Marvel Universe. I will appreciate it. Thank you.

TK, $35 million it is. Please send the balance of $25 million c/o my agency. Trust me, I'll see to it that the funds go to a very worthy cause.

Pig Iron, you are free to retract your bid, but Mary Marvel has more market savvy, and she is more aware of her worth than the doubt-ridden Holy Moley.

TTT,
Sorry, but Weapon X has informed me that he doesn't want to go for anything less than Jean Grey. There was also some brief confusion about the U.S.-Canadian dollar exchange rate, but I think it was cleared up to his satisfaction.
Regarding Wolverine, you are going to have to contact TTT.
quote:
I-M,
Booster Gold sais he wanted $10M, but Beetle shut him up and they'll take the offer. Booster wants a personal assistant, though.
I believe that Blue Beetle and Booster Gold come together in the deal. Both of them for $5M w/ Personal Assistant.

Well, I belive I've now got Bats, Iron Man, and Oracle, for a total of $217m.
Doc Doom is accepted for $105m, and I'm waiting for the clock to tick.
What to do? What to do?
Tigra - $1m

Silver Surfer for 9,500,000. That's too generous an offer for chrome dome, since his popularity's panned and his current mini-series is unreadable.

(Note to self. The captains are onto my modus operandi...)
TK, my client -- Mr. Chrome Dome -- is a philosopher at heart, and he has long been intrigued by the perfect nature of the number 10. (He would also remind you that he had his own cartoon series, albeit a brief one.) If you find another 500K lying around, please do check back.
Thank you for your interest.
