You were a villain creating a tickle ray. Your scheme is because once you use it everyone will be ticklish with just a simple stroke or poke, and you could use this on the most powerful people and they can submit to your tickle attacks. You think its the perfect plan, but once a team of heros hear it, they quickly find your underground hideout and try to stop you

Axel: "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE"

Carson: "We're here to stop you"

Lex: "yeah surrender now or taste defeat"
