I agree that he would greatly enjoy mayhem and chaos; however, he's in more control that way than if he were to simply wink out of existence.

That's the fun of writing the character for me, actually. He's like Hatman in some aspects, but obviously completely different in others. I think he's a pretty credible threat.

The other thing I like about writing him is he's unabashedly evil. With Harvester I kind of had him flirting with being a villain or just cranky, and I wasn't totally happy with that. With Doorman though, there's no shades of grey, he's just plain evil.

I had no idea what pizza costs in the US, to be honest. I know you can order specialty pizzas from certain places here that will run you over $20, and really Doorman wasn't worried about the price; even if he had let the delivery boy live, Doorman is using Jessic Brahm's money right now.
