A few brave souls have finally showed up and decided to take on the mantle of heroes - to combat the Villains who are scamming the hard earned savings of ordinary citizens. However, beneath every hero lies a hard working citizen, who needs to work, save and borrow money in order to finance their crime fighting career. Little did they know that their credit card bills are feeding the ultimate monster of mass destruction: Debtzilla.
