By our powers combined, we are Captain PayPal!

Captain Planet - ValleywagThe New York Times catches up on the "Gee those PayPal guys found a lot of companies" meme (the one covered at Valleywag last week). The new article imagines the former employees of PayPal as super-entrepreneurs who can't help but invent businesses whenever they meet:

Every now and then, a group of former PayPal employees get together to catch up on life and work. It might be at a backyard barbecue, a birthday celebration at a classy San Francisco restaurant or a simple late-night reunion at someone's house.

Almost inevitably, the conversation turns to business, and soon enough, a new start-up is born or has found a financial backer.

When the PayPallers' powers combine, who has to be Heart?
