Joyce McKinney, super villain
Metropolis (duh.) has got its Lex Luthor. London has Professor Moriarity. Utah will have to settle for dog cloner, missionary enslaver Joyce McKinney. The former Miss Wyoming (where else?) apparently cut a wider crime swath than originally supposed.

The latest is news is that she was charged in 2004 in Tennessee with conspiracy to commit burglary and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Allegedly Joyce talked a 15-year-old boy into breaking into a house to raise money so she could buy a prosthetic leg for a beloved horse.

Awww, for cute. (SVU investigators might want to have a long conversation with the 15-year-old and the horse.)

True to form, Joyce went on the lam before she was brought to justice. No word yet on if she topped her deaf actress (or was it blind nun?) disguise to flee England. Tennessee prosecutors, who were tipped off to the fugitive when she made headlines for cloning her dog Booger in Korea, are deciding whether to go after McKinney.

Open email to Attorney General Mark Shurtleff: Whatever Joyce may have done in Utah, please, please, don't bring her back.

I thought Metropolis had Lex Luther. Gotham City is the home to Batman and nemsis' Joker, Scarecrow, etc. Superman lives in Metropolis with the bald-headed villian Lex Luther.

Uh, fur-lined hobbles, perhaps?
