The thing of it is that KP managed to be a perfectly scary threat for years with just like, a couple of semi-loyal assassins, various piecework contractors, and the NY Mob.
Nobody needed to make him the boss of like, Norman Osborne, Apocalypse and Galactus just to prove that he's a badass.
Humility? Bendis? Surely you jest!
I mean to be fair, someone had to try to organize the super-villains over time. Just Hood could have been handled more patiently, and not had half his crew be friggin' leaders themselves. It's like if Mr. Fantastic, Captain America, Cyclops, Storm, and Iron Man blindly following Gravity's orders because, um, he spanked Rhino really badly. Please.
Granted, I'm sure if I had all of my bosses virtually telling me and acting like my work walked on water, I'd probably throw my weight around in stories, too. Bendis is what he is, but he was created. Just like Geoff Johns. Power corrupts. Even over funny books.
