In 2002, police arrested 25-year-old
Joseph D. Konopka and his 15-year-old sidekick in a steam tunnel at the
University of Illinois in Chicago.
Learning that Konopka had bottles
of cyanide stored in his hidden headquarters in a CTA substation, authorities
shut down traffic on the Blue and Red Lines for several hours while the poison
was recovered. In Konopka’s underground lair, police found maps, burglary
tools, emergency scanners and GPS equipment.
They also learned that Konopka
called himself “Dr. Chaos.”
Together with the adolescent
disciples he dubbed his “Realm of Chaos,” Dr. Chaos caused 28 full power
failures and 20 other service interruptions at various Wisconsin power plants, committed
arson, disrupted radio and television broadcasts and managed to disable an air
traffic control system.
Now tell me again that comic books
are unrealistic.
