I think there's a lot of banks incorporated in South? Dakota because of bank-friendly laws. I remember calling to get a pin for my corporate card and the gal sounded like something out of "Prairie Home Companion" - "Ja, Ja, it is cold here".

Anyway, the problem with having your powers dependent upon a contract is the question of who enforces that contract and determines the legality thereof. It seems that Arianna is effectively a judge, at least for contracts involving super-villains.

Look for a smarter, richer villain - a Deus, say - to try to blackmail / bribe / threaten Arianna. Well, probably not threaten, considering who her friends are.
