I was created in a lab, a combination of the DNA of the strongest fighters in the universe. I have all their strengths, and none of their weaknesses.

I am.. PERFECTION.

For those who don't know, pretty much Cell from DBZ.

I would most likely make a terrible super-villain. I could never hurt someone who didn't deserve it, and I'm usually one to help others and make things better rather than worse. It's just in my nature, so to be evil myself would be against who I am. But I'm a designer at heart, so perhaps that would tie into my "evil" powers. My powers would be to bring my creations to life. Of course, I would be making nice, good ones at first but eventually it would end up becoming disastrous the moment I make anything capable of doing any damage/taking over anything. I'd probably end up being the one doing my creation's bidding, forced to make its evil army to help it take over the world.

So I wouldn't directly be a super-villain, and I'd be more of the misunderstood, not-so-evil types whose hand is being led by another.

Name: Elementalist
Powers: Can manipulate the elements (Fire, water, earth, air, ect.)
Backstory: Sick and tired of humanity's flaws, I decided "screw humanity" and began acting out to destroy all the stupid people in the world.
Motivation: Don't want to rule the world, just change it.
Scheme: Destroy all stupid/evil people, get an army of like-minded followers to help.

Basically, I'd be like Magneto, but more low-key.

Villain ? Now that's a good question :)

I'd be called... the Jester !
I wouldn't care about anything with the exception of the Flying-Rodent-Man - my arch nemesis and protector of GothicVille. I'd come up with crude, but at the same time, multi-layered schemes with the single purpose - to beat the Flying-Rodent-Man. No special powers, my insanity would be sufficient.
I'd also wear some fancy dress and unique makeup. Maybe white face and green colored hair ? I'm not sure...

Oh, and the backstory... I'm not sure, i'd produce something on the fly when asked about it. :)

Hmmmmmmmmmm, i have a felling of deja-vu right now. ;)
Is Gothicville one of those new Facebook games?

Hmm...super-villain status.

I would have mind-control powers.

My MO? I would use my mind control powers to play cruel tricks on people arbitrarily. As such, my powers would occasionally be used for good, but solely by coincidence.

Source of powers? Boredom augmented my mental abilities.

Weakness? Short attention span. Master plans often foiled by something shiny.

Background: Years of motivation aimed at personal amusement.

I need a name. Is "The Jerk" taken?

Oh no, no !
GothicVille is my unique invention. It's more or less combination of modern, metropolis-size city with dark elements taken from victorian age London. It's like Baker's Street meets New York.

I, The Jester live there and chase The Flying-Rodent Man in our eternal, endless dance. I commit the crime and he tries to punish me. We are like Yin-Yang diagram or something.

I am sure nobody has thought of this before !

I'm a simple man with simple tastes and simple desires...so here's what I'd go for.

Power: super-strong telekinesis. I'm talking strong enough to lift up a tank and crush it in on itself until it's just a mangled ball of steel.

Background: Doesn't matter, born with the power and it manifested X-Men style during puberty, whatever. :p

Motivation: Cure my road rage by making fuckers REALLY regret cutting me off and just, in general, driving like assholes. It's actually rather disturbing how often I find myself wishing I could just sling an offending driver's vehicle off the road as though it were smacked by the hand of god.

Edit: Apparently I either missed it in the OP or it's just something that started up, but it seems like people are coming up with names for their villian self now. In which case my name would be taken from Stormy a la Sealab 2021: "He Who Smokes Bitches"

Name: A name?

Do you know a name is? It's a self-proclaimed title demanded by those too weak to earn one themselves. I have no need for a name. You will know me by my actions.

Powers: None to speak of. Of course, people don't need to know that. If they're truly willing to believe none other than some freak of nature could rise to a position such as mine, let them fear me as such.

Motivation: What motivates me? Well, that's simple, I just want to make the world a better place... unfortunately... it would appear global affairs as they currently stand are broken beyond repair. Trying to build utopia upon such a foundation would be a fool's errand. The destruction may be an immeasurable loss, but through my leadership our civilization would be reborn stronger than ever before. Do the ends not justify the means?

Mmm nice idea

I would be a villain of the psychic type. You probably wouldn't see allot of me *smirk* because you can't see the game I am playing. My way would be to cause inbalance, wars, and then take over the area. Well did I say I? .. lets just say I have others to take the blame.

Fast and moving would be the key. Not to stay to long anywhere get what I desire and move on.

My origin? I am not from this planet that is certain my technology is neither. I could be anywhere if I so desired. how I came here.. ah well when a boy loves a girl.. lets say they we're not the best of parents. I might have a few issues with my family but nothing that you should know *hypnotises* Now you we're signing this check to the local fishing company..now lets make that quick shall we!

Name: Meat Shield. ((Dodging objects isnt his thing))

Power: Spontaneous Regrowth. ((Think wolverine's healing factor on crack. Full limb regrowth in seconds))

Backstory: Average man of 26, living a dull life as a paper pushing desk worker, his marriage dry and a 2nd child on the way, we went to the top of a cliff in the neighboring woods to end his life, Mid fight ((or fall)) he was hit square in the chest by a falling chunk of meteorite, embedding itself dead center in his heart. After awakening from his ((what should have been fatal)) fall he realized he could not die by conventional means. Taking the initiative, he used his powers to steal piles of money, and transport large quantities of drugs over borders.

Motivation: Top of the world baby! He wont stop his stealing spree till hes swimming in 100$'s and eating fresh swordfish with a diamond spork!

Costume: Loose fitting blue jeans ((3 sizes to big, good for hiding explosives and ammo)), A bullet proof vest, and a ballistics face mask. ((as only shots to the heart and brain can cause severe damage or unconsciousness for more then a brief moment.)) The vest and mask painted blue with gold and purple trim. ((The colors of royalty! As he wants only the best))

Name: Myst

Power: former soldier, free-runner, good at cleaning his tracks.

Costume: white face mask (with a blank expression) with a hooded leather jacket (hood up) bandolier with smoke grenades (hence the name Myst) are the main items of clothing.


Back-story: tired of seeing Murderers, Rapists, and Paedophiles walking free because of a failing judicial system plagued with binding red tape and full of loopholes. Hunts down extreme criminals and makes an example of them, usually in a fitting way to the crime they committed (I.e. forcing a drug dealer to O.D on his own product).

Sees himself as a anti-hero but everyone else sees him no different from any other murderer.

Motivation: Making sure that criminals of extreme crimes know true fear, making them beg for prison.

Name: Pulsar

Powers: Energy manipulation and magnetism (can shoot rays of electromagnetic radiation, and lightning, move at high speed, fly, control metal as well as certain electronics.) He gives off radio waves similar to that of a pulsar.

Backstory: He'd done it. What every kid has thought of becoming at least once. Issac was an astronaut. Floating high above the world. It'd been a routine thing, just making a few modifications to a research satellite, when a pulse of intense energy hit him straight on. Where the pulse had come from no one knew but when he was brought back to the shuttle he wouldn't talk and didn't take of his helmet. He simply stood there. The heat of his suit was rising and they attempted to get it off. The crew attempted to pull up the tinted part of his helmet, to simply see how he was doing. They were greeted by a blinding light and what scientist could only describe as a miniature supernova.

Appearance: He is still in his astronaut suit, the tinted visor down. God help you if he pulls it up. His suit had no insignias, they were burned off long ago. The suit is pure white, and highly energized. Sparks of electricity can be seen occasionally arcing across his body. He gives off high electromagnetic radiation and when at full power, tends to glow with an intense white light. He curls into the fetal position, floats into the air, and begins rotating at high speeds without his tinted visor down. The action looks similar to a pulsar and causes devastating damage as well as loss of live, similar to that of a nuclear explosion.

Motivation: Unknown. He tends to be seen simply floating above cities, or walking in outskirts and farmlands all across the world. He has even been seen in suburbs and residential neighborhoods. He only attacks when confronted, but against the general public, confrontations don't last too long. When seen, people are advised to ignore and let him go on his way. He occasionally attacks places that produce energy or radiation. Nuclear Power plants, Hydroelectric dams, Fields of Solar panels, giant windmill turbines, even the Large Hadron collider. His activities to correlate in Chernobyl, mainly as a place of rest. Issac has also attempted contact with his former family, wife, 2 sons. He has never spoken.

Name: Lobster Man

Power: Being super crazy (hey it works for most villains)

Costume: red ripped up clothes, two garden sheers, two red convenient store straws on head.

Backstory: Crazy McCrazyman was your everyday crazy man who reads too many comics, and lives in a van by the river, until he was bit by what he thought was a radioactive lobster. He soon turned to the life of a superhero but he has the habit of murdering anyone who doesn't address him by his superhero name, or think of him as half-human, half-lobster.

Motivation: Pretending to be a superhero, duh.
