If you were a Super-Villain, What would your Powers/Backstory be?

Also, Motivation, Plans/Goals, etc...

I can't really think of one for me, but probably a cross between "magneto/dr doom"

 

[bojackx]

Powers: Super Strength, maybe the power to not look ridiculous in an evil suit.
Backstory: Molesta-raped by many people at the orphanarium I lived at.
Motivation: Evil 'coz I can.

 

[Rowan93]

Powers - Can duplicate/split/clone myself, and then merge with/absorb clones at a later date and get the combined memories of both. Instant army of henchmen, plus I can parallel-process tasks and complete about five degrees in as many weeks.

Backstory - I'll go with the classic "laboratory accident" one.

Motivation - Nothing idealistic, just plotting various evil schemes in order to make myself wealthy and/or powerful. Ambition all the way.

Motivation: To prove that silver-age villains can have campy powers and still be a threat

Plan: Murder superman by way of a kryptonite fork

 

[Erttheking]

I'd take the Lex Luthor approach and run a corrupt side to my business why putting up a face of false benevolence. My goal? KILL CAPTAIN PLANET! I'd arm my men with air pressure guns loaded with toxic slug.

 

[FalloutJack]

...way too long to spend time here on. I'm sorry, but I'm a writer and I have a BIG frigging history of villain-making, and there is a long epic to tackle my toughest one.

 

[Twilight_guy]

The electronic Bruiser. One night, during a lightening storm, while finally feed up with all the bullshit thrown around over the internet I punch my monitor as my house is struck by lighting. by way of technobabble and plot device, I get pulled into the internet. At this point I proceed to track down idiots on the web and punch them through their monitors.

 

[superbatranger]

Backstory: I was cut in line at the DMV for the last time.

 

[Athol]

Power: Telekinessis (The Swiss Army knife of powers)

Backstory: A lower-middle class man who's tired of working so very hard for so very little.

Motivation: Money with a side order of power.

 

[TheOneBearded]

Anyone from the Venture Brothers (preferably the Monarch or Phantom Limb). Think of all the fun I would have.....that is if Brock doesn't want to kill me. Other than that, it would all be hilarious.

 

[TheOneBearded]

Powers: The ability to piss on everything you love.
Backstory: I was cut in line at the DMV for the last time.

You avatar brings it all together nicely. I'm a little scared right now, to be honest.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Name: Lord Crimson

Power: Blood manipulation. Can make the insides of any individual explode upon command if I concentrate. In the heat of battle where such executions are impossible, I change my internal blood composition to make me stronger and faster.

Costume: Dark red cape, black lightweight body armor.

Backstory: I'm a child of rape who grew up alone in Toronto's streets in the gangs. Discovered mutant powers at age 16. Joined Magneto's army young, took training with his forces but was locked up. Years later I escaped, built up a criminal network across the Eastern coast of Canada and the U.S.A. I employ hired goons and loyal mutant minions, rarely gracing anyone with my presence.

Motivation: Gaining enough power to resume Magneto's war.

 

[Dango]

Kitten-II- A super-agile cyborg catboy with extremely heightened senses created by rogue scientists who were originally trying to create a super solider for the American army.

I'm stopping there, because I could honestly write a full page, completely un-orignal backstory right now.

 

[oZode]

Name: Mr. feedback

Powers - Ability to warp to other points of space anywhere at will, and has incredible skills with precision weapons.

Backstory - He was the result of a wormhole anomaly. Was born crazy, most certainly will die crazy.

Motivation - Because he can. Kill some soldiers? Because he can. Kill high authority figures? because he can. Kill you in your sleep for the hell of it? BECAUSE HE CAN.

 

[Blobpie]

Name: The Lonely King

Powers: He has the ability to shift between dimensions, but also to partially shift between said dimensions to achieve certain levels of intangibility.
Also has gained weaponry and technology completely alien to our world.

Backstory: He was considered to be a saint before he left; he never lied, stole or hurt others. But once he discovered a way to travel between dimensions everything changed. What seamed to us but a mere five years was an eternity to him. He traveled from dimension to dimension, trying to find his way home.

And when he finally returned he was cold blooded, insane, immortal and with a blood soaked scheme in his mind. And so he set his unnatural plans into motion....

Motivation: In his journey he discovered what it was to be truly lonely and afraid. He desired above all things to ensure that all people on earth would never have to feel what he felt.
Too bad he's a murderous madman now.

 

[superstringz]

Powers: None, just a good actor

Backstory: that one asshole always drawn in the background as an injoke.

Name: ???

He's always watching. Sometimes, he'll deign to leave an anonymous message to either the villains or the heros. Or another 3rd party. Or a random bystander. He's the one that distracts the cops at a critical moment, or reports a villian to the heros. Whatever suits his elusive agenda

Spoiler

Its to become god.

 

[Muspelheim]

Name: Professor Plague.

Powers: None, aside from intelligence and various lethal chemical weapons, diseases and vat-grown biogolems.

Costume: Black lab-coat and a beak-doctor styled gasmask.

Backstory: Dismissed from the not at all omniously named Zyklon Futuristics due to lacking safety-routines and blatant disreguard of international covenance ("What's this Geneva Convention you speak of?"), the hurt and bitter professor stole his sizable discoveries with him and soon vanished into the shadows.

Motivation: Improve upon the world with a questionable form of "zuper-zcience!!", gather money with which to fund the experiments and living comfortably.

 

[The Preened Mr. Fust]

My powers would be the command over the realm of Dreams itself!

My backstory would be that I am a twisted reflection of an entity within the Dreaming, a Nightmare to match the Dream in balance, intent on bringing a reign of Nightmares.

 

[emeraldrafael]

A good personality and connections.

...

what? a man (or woman) can make short easy gains from being superstrong, but it only takes a look at those like Lex Luther to see who's really the best.
