#478: Wily's Plan
The whole punchline for this comic just came free form. In the course of writing this I really did answer my own hypothesis.
It is a fact, though, that with the amount of land Wily had, he practically controlled the world anyway. Makes one wonder why that wasn't enough for him. Of course, he is criminally insane, so there's probably enough reasoning right there.
 
    

When evil spreads across the land, and darkness rises and the monsters roam. When the creatures of the night make beautiful music, and the things that go bump in the night go bump with greater enthusiasm. When the world is in peril and is in need of a hero...

These guys are, sadly, the best the world can hope for. These are the adventures of the heroes of CVRPG. They mean well, they try hard, and occasionally they do the impossible...

They actually do something heroic.
