I\\\'m looking for a trope; in Marvel Knights Spider-Man #9: The Last Stand \\\"part 1 of 4\\\", Mac Gargan claims to have abducted May Parker and drags Peter out for a little JustBetweenYouAndMe torture-speech before blackmailing Peter into breaking Osborn out of prison;
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Gargan\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'You never wonder why you always fight the \\\'\\\'\\\'same guys\\\'\\\'\\\' over and over again? …Imagine it\\\'s nineteen forty-five and you\\\'re one of the richest men on the planet. You got everything you ever wanted. Girls, money, power. You\\\'re living the American dream and all the little worker-bees are working round clock to keep you there. Then these guys in masks start showing up, righting wrongs and throwing their super-powers around. They say they\\\'re here to fight injustice and you know it\\\'s only a matter of time before they start looking at the books and see the way this world of yours \\\'\\\'\\\'really\\\'\\\'\\\' operates. For the first time in a thousands years, the ruling class is under threat and bullets weren\\\'t gonna keep \\\'\\\'\\\'this\\\'\\\'\\\' revolution down. Bullets just bounce off these guys\\\' \\\'\\\'\\\'chests.\\\'\\\'\\\' So what do they do? What\\\'s the genius plan that man creates to keep the superman in check? Any ideas? Easy. They create the super bad-guy. You have to remember that in those days the world wasn\\\'t really broken down into heroes as villains as clearly as it is now. Heroes lived outside the law. That\\\'s why most of them had masks. These rich guys just saw them all as one big, collective threat and decided to set them \\\'\\\'\\\'against\\\'\\\'\\\' each other. Divide and conquer, as they say. Half the villains kicking around the old days were just [=ex-GIs=] on a salary. Why do you think nobody \\\'\\\'\\\'important\\\'\\\'\\\' ever got offed? Why did they always go after the same super-heroes? The were \\\'\\\'\\\'assigned\\\'\\\'\\\' to these guys, Spider-Man. You guys were written into their \\\'\\\'\\\'contracts.\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Parker\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'Are you seriously trying to tell me all the idiots we\\\'ve fought over the years have been stooges?\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Gargan\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'Don\\\'t be crazy. We\\\'re talking maybe one or two Marshals for each superhero, but that\\\'s all you really need. Once you start the ball rolling you can just sit back and enjoy the fun.\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Gargan\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'Look at that auction last month: People were bleeding themselves DRY to become an A-List villain. The whole thing becomes \\\'\\\'\\\'self-perpetuating\\\'\\\'\\\' if you\\\'re clever about it.\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Parker\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'This is \\\'\\\'\\\'garbage.\\\'\\\'\\\' You\\\'re just messing with my head. There\\\'s no way the government would create their own super-villains.\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Gargan\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'But this isn\\\'t the government. These are the companies that put governments in office and neutralizing capes was a genuine \\\'\\\'\\\'business concern\\\'\\\'\\\' when they first appeared.\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Parker\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'What\\\'s this got to do with Norman Osborn?\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Gargan\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'Billionaire? Bio-chemist? All those big military contracts? I thought you were supposed to be smart, Spider-Man. Osborn was their favourite super-villain contractor until he went a little nuts and started flying around on that \\\'\\\'\\\'Goblin Glider\\\'\\\'\\\' he built for himself.\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Parker\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'Oh my God.\\\'\\\'\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Gargan\\\'\\\'\\\': \\\'\\\'Bush and Clinton found out about this and closed down any super-villain programs they heard about, but there was some very famous names in that original cabal.\\\'\\\'
