You are now a supervillain. What kind of villain are you?

[Leemaster777]

Congratulations, you are now the world's first supervillain. And not a superhero in sight, either.

What do you do with your new supervillain status? Keep it small, and just rob banks? Go the whole way and take over the entire universe? Perhaps just the earth for simplicity's sake? Killing spree? Bring down organized society? Raise the dead? Flood the earth? Steal rare artifacts and jewels? Create an evil organization? Kick puppies? The world is your evil oyster.

As for myself, personally, I'd go mad scientist. Genetic mutations, killer robots, planting mind-control slugs into people's brains, sticking hamsters into the microwave, the whole deal. And why? Why, for SCIENCE of course. Screw taking over the world, that shit's not worth the trouble. I want to find out how to create an army of mantis-men. Just because. I'd be like Cave Johnson, if he... actually, come to think of it, I'd mostly just be Cave Johnson.

And if I was feeling in a particularly SCIENCE-y mood, I'd do this:

Spoiler

And what about the rest of you? What do you do now that you no longer give any sort of shit about "morals", or "limitations", or "decency"?

 

[Thaluikhain]

Hmmm...if I were a sexxay supervillain, I can get away with more or less anything, I think. At worst I'll get locked up, not killed. Also, I can make lots of innuendo without it seeing creepy.

Likewise, if you are a cat themed supervillain, you can make endless, endless cat related puns and nobody can call you out on it.

 

[sanquin]

I'd go with making myself rich and getting myself set up in a nice place. As I can see myself being the technological kind of supervillain most of all. After that I'd start a hostile take-over against anyone that I deemed was against me and my ideals. Probably until I'd have taken over the entire world.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Form my own League of Shadows/Assassins out of like-minded followers, generally staying out of the spotlight and only known to world leaders.

'We are this planet's conscience. We are the invisible men who do what needs to be done, unbound by law or race or nation, then disappear into the night, as anonymous as... well, Anonymous.

So the next time one of you decides to start a war, or an ethnic cleansing, or take food and water from the mouths of your poverty-ridden citizens to give to your military elites- you know who you are. Step off. Or we'll come blow your house down.'

 

[Johnny Impact]

Sort of depends on the power set. Super-intelligence more or less requires one to go the mad scientist route, whereas superstrength and invulnerability allow for brute-force, General Zod style conquest.

I see myself like Hancock: more of a giant, unpopular nuisance than a genuine villain. I don't buy the whole "value of life" thing, but I'm not greedy or hateful. Mostly I would just want to be left alone. Of course, that's all the Hulk ever used to want, and he smashed entire armies to make it happen.....

 

[Euphbug]

I would create a secret crime syndicate, controlling all the major crime factions of the planet and bribing a good number of politicians, not like they would be hard to bribe. Take a hefty some of wealth from this and live a rich lifestyle without anyone the wiser of where it all came from.

Then I would also be able to use my ties in crime and politics to destroy the lives of all those that displease, whether someone who angered me on the street or someone with a bit more wealth who I think deserves it. Then if I ever get bored I could use my fortune pay some scientists to create a robot army with which I could take over some random country, and go all Dr. Doom on the world.

 

[Little Woodsman]

I would found a secret society much like the illuminati, secretly controlling and exerting influence all around the world. And I would use it to make the world a better place for everybody.
So I guess I'd be a nice supervillain.
I'd still want "the merciless" to be added to the end of my name. (even though I'm not).

PS--and of course an army of elvish catgirl bellydancers as my personal guard.

 

[Gormech]

So many choices ...

Mind controlling pimp twirling my cane as I go.
Thief with Matrix-level abilities.
Death Note fun.
The hacker.
Silent assassin.
Necromorphic fun.
Dr. Evil guy.
Reality bending comically insane. (Segway going 100mgh down the highway causing mayhem)
Moonwalking guy with explosions whenever I point in random directions
Flamethrower fun.
Magic mayhem
Mindreading blackmail.
Mind controlling mayhem.
HFSword, pistol, sunglasses.

 

[ryessknight]

Id Doctor Doom it all the way. Loved him as a villian and antihero. Power armor and magic ftw and id have my own country already.

 

[Strain42]

Personally, I think I'd be the kind of villain who just has more fun in the fact that I am indeed a villain rather than one who would cause any real mayhem.

I'd probably be more like Dr. Doofenschmirtz (I'm sure I spelled that wrong, too lazy to look up the proper spelling)

I'd have my lair, maybe a henchman or two, some fancy gadgets, and I'd come up with plans that I'd probably never even put into action.

Would I be a GOOD villain? No. But I'd be a happy one.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Oh you know, the usual, hijack a nuclear missile and hold the world hostage.
Also I'd make sure to get sharks with laser beams attached to their heads.

 

[Saltyk]

World Domination. That's the name of the game. Bring all the world's governments under my control and rule them with an iron fist. Those who disobey will be harshly punished. Those who behave, can live.

And on the bright side, no more war or strife as I won't allow it. Then, my minions will focus your energy and our resources on curing illnesses and space exploration and defense. My empire must expand to the stars, after all.

Pretty sure I heard there was a storyline where Doctor Doom took over the world, and everything was better. People just lost free will. So imagine that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go set my supervillain plans into motion. First, I just need to hollow out this active volcano. I plan to tap the magma for my power supply. Then, I'll steal cable.

 

[Ratties]

Always want someone else to take the fall for me. Really wouldn't want to treat my subordinates with like crap because they may turn against me. Can imagine hiding my stronghold behind a legit business. have to be a place that would make bucko bucks anways. Eventually everybody would just see a strong willed business man. Reality, I am doing horrific shit behind the scenes.

[Shinsei-J]

I'd be the kind of supervillian who's constantly heard of yet never seen.
A master thief who uses mind manipulating mini bullets on others to succeed in my dirty work.
It calms there mind and make them a bit more open to my, let's call them, suggestions.

*shoots lone guard in the foot*
-
"Don't worry it doesn't hurt and I don't think you've ever seen me either but oops you've left your keys at home"
-
*Walks off with two other men carrying priceless paintings and the keys to the vault*

In the end, I just steal anything the world deems as priceless.
Once all is said and done I won't control the world...
But I will control culture.

 

[Akytalusia]

if i lost control, i'd definitely be the "destroy the world" type. build doomsday machine, activate it. that's all.

 

[SilverBullets000]

Personally, I think I'd be the kind of villain who just has more fun in the fact that I am indeed a villain rather than one who would cause any real mayhem.

Well, those do have all the fun. Hell, even the heroes that go to stop them don't actually hate them, they just need to make them stop.

OT: Strain kind of has my answer already, so I'll think of a different one:
If I were a smarter villain, I'd build a machine to an alternate underdeveloped dimension and proceed to monopolize everything, becoming wealthy and untouchable. I'd make sure I have the government of whatever continent I was on in my pocket to. I mean, I wouldn't want any anti-trust laws springing up on me while I was bathing in money or anything...

 

[Abomination]

Everyone's mentioning Dr Doom and I can't blame them.

I wouldn't want to take over the world, I'd want to create a nation that is so organized, developed and prosperous that other nations hesitate at the thought of trying anything against me.

Then I'd start expanding my borders, not through war but through destabilization and assassination of neighboring nations and leaders. Once those nations are rife with civil war and their infrastructure breaks down their people would see just how good my people have it and BEG to become part of my Empire. I would bring order, stability and prosperity to all those who are willing to bow to my will. Personal freedoms? A must have for my subjects. A voice in government, however? None.

I would, of course, need capable and trustworthy lieutenants to govern various regions of the growing empire... but no sociopaths or villains. I would recruit economists, agricultural scientists, and doctorate engineers to fill my cabinet of advisors and administrators.

And when an alien menace threatens the world my Empire will mobilize and blast the invaders from the sky in a display of both being the earth?s savoir & defender, and its de-facto ruler.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

Mmm... Mind Control is always tempting.

I'd end up being one of those super villains with good intentions but horrific methods, like Poison Ivy. But with less Eco-terrorism and more mind crushing those who oppose me.

Edit:
Captcha: sieze the day
Apparently captcha thinks I should be a super villain. Guess it's time to invest in the Mind Bomb.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

Oh no, I'm not falling for this again. Last time I ended up with my volcano lair in ruins because a suave super spy turned my second in command, a buxom sexy female assassin, against me.

I mean really, is conquering the world to establish a benevolent dictatorship that big of a crime?

 

[GrimTuesday]

I'd be one of those villains who seeks to make the world a better place, but through his own rather evil ways. The world sucks, and the only way to make it better, is by everyone doing exactly as I say.
