Okay, we've covered super heroes an super powers in general, but suppose you were a super villain. What powers or skills for working your evil would you want? Would you be the 'misunderstood' evil like Magneto, the 'rule the world' evil like Dr. Doom, the criminal mastermind evil like Doctor Octopus or the 'Everything must go' evil like Thanos?

I would be highly intelligent yet mostly insane (think Lex Luthor)

I would like to have superpowers to manipulate people, make them think what I want.......mind control.

I am pretty sure if I was a villian that I would have this slightly tweaked version of how the world should be and I would be working to fix it, mind control would come in mighty handy for that.

I want mental powers to control other people, lots of them at once and no debilitating physical effects, okay, like going into a trance or crap like that. If I'm ruling the world, I want to enjoy myself.

Step one become all powerful, step two rewrite the laws of reality as I wish, step three turn everything back and convince everyone it was just a made for tv movie starring Micheal Bolton.

Without the baldness thing, I hope, Smunkee.

i'd be an insane genius with Lygokinesis and Magnokinesis... make some nice armor and then let the energy flow!! Then I could make some sorta memory chip to make me Braniac-smart...

Without the baldness thing, I hope, Smunkee.
I don't know, I spend a lot of money on my hair now, maybe that's why LL is so rich, no hair.........:confused:

I would be a "rule the world" type, with one power - a mighty super-intellect. My purpose would be to unify the world under me, for the good of all mankind.

To do so, I would be utterly ruthless. Every capital city would vanish in a fireball in one instant, and whoever opposed me would face the wrath of my robot tanks and orbital laser cannon! Bwah ha ha!

Don't forget the smite ray!

I hadn't thought of that. *contemplating going bald* It would save untold time every morning ... well, but it's five to September and then there's October November, December, and I hate wearing a hat ...

if i were going for more of a "real-life" supervillan, i'd be mega-rich and increadibally manipulative (yeah, kinda like lex luthor, but not bald). if i were going for the fantasy-oriented villian, i'd want stuff like time travel and mind blasts/wave, etc.

money makes the world go round, and your arch nemisis is much easier to kill as a baby! (or as his parents are babies!) :D

Would you be the 'misunderstood' evil like Magneto, the 'rule the world' evil like Dr. Doom, the criminal mastermind evil like Doctor Octopus or the 'Everything must go' evil like Thanos?Hm... interesting question. An extremely high intellect and a full bank account seem to be the best attributes for villians. Most of the ones with those tend to show up later instead of spending most episodes redecorating prison cells. (Luthor, Kingpin, etc...)
I suppose shape shifting and voice mimickry wouldn't be too bad either.

I'd want to summon an army of undead evil henchmen do my bidding at will who wern't completely retarded but no smart enough to overthrow me.

I'm still leaning toward Clairtangency(imagine long-range telekinesis). I would be the insane criminal mastermind/mischief maker like Toyman. What government could stand against my power when I can wedgie them into submission from a continent away! Mwahahahahaha!!! :D

Man, you are just evil.

I'd be the "insidious puppetmaster"-type, who would manipulate the greatest number of people to the least extent, in order to bring about the changes I desire the most. You know, all subtle-like. In the same vein as Asimov's Mule.

The thing that turned him evil was the same thing that made him bald

Ah, but if Lex weren't bald, he wouldn't be a villain :D

\and smiting an adult is much better than killing a baby...

Then again, with this guy's (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/16.html) powers, how could you lose?!

\and smiting an adult is much better than killing a baby...

but which is more evil? :D

oh my god, that is the dumbest villian concept i've ever heard of, rofl!

oh my god, that is the dumbest villian concept i've ever heard of, rofl!

No, potent farts is worse...

oh my god, that is the dumbest villian concept i've ever heard of, rofl!Actually, there's a worse one (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/31.html)...

I'd be the kind of over the top crazy supervillain, who has got the resources of an entire paramilitary organization around him, specifically, Cobra Commander!

Then again, with this guy's (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/16.html) powers, how could you lose?!

Apparently this guy (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/31.html) took your idea first Laerod.

Edit: Damn beaten to it.

but which is more evil? :D

Which is more satisfying?? :D

Of course, in real life, I'm a pirate, so I'm already a supervillain!


Arrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhh!

I am The Drone - I bore you to death with my unintelligible rambling (like the adults on teh Peanuts cartoons) and then steal your identity and credit cards. If I ever got a part on a prime time show I could commit genocide

Edit: Damn beaten to it.Hey, at least you managed an incredible feat of unintended irony :D

I'LL GET YOU YET LAEROD!!!!

There are two possible incarnations of my supervillian depending on the world he lives in.

The first, in a world of other superheroes and villians, would be the "misunderstood" type. His role would be that of a shadowy vigilante bent on eliminating any group or being with superpowers that acted as their own openly visible police force. He feels that the effect of the Superhero has been such that normal people become dependent on them and can no longer look after themselves.

The second, in the more typical setting, would be the calculating world-dominating type, though he too is more of a "grey" type villian than out-and-out evil. His ultimate goal would be to seize control of the world's biggest multinational corporations by force and unify them under one conglomerate, then nationalising it under his own new government which would gain enough political and economic power to reshape the world one country at a time. Kinda like a modern Nazi, though without the antisemitism.

In both cases, in addition to the traditional superhuman strength, ability to fly and manditory skill with a sword, the villian would be able to do tricks with lights and shadows like generating holograms, altering his appearence, blinding people or trapping them in total darkness/sensory illusions etc. etc.

EDIT: And for the more serious superpower,

I would have the power to telekinetically control every single item of underwear in the world. Think of the ransom fees!

Omnikenisis, but only every other day.

"I shall rule the world!"

*clock strikes midnight*

"Next Tuesday!"

Everyone would be forced to make desserts for me....Ha! And Devin would suddenly feel in inexplicible desire to drop out of My Fair Lady and persue a career in marine biology. Eliza will be mine! Mwahaha...

I'd be a "realistic" sort of villain, who's only powers are an overactive imagination, an evil think tank (I bet I could get government funding to found one), and having far too much time on my hands.
My end goal would be the death of everyone whoever bought an "ironic" or "vintage" T-Shirt. That's right, you hipster bastards, that pink piece of cloth not only bears the mark of Mario on it, but also your death sentence!

I'd also like one of those giant hoops that throws razor blades, as it looks like it would be the perfect evil transport: both lethal and environmentally friendly.

EDIT: And for the more serious superpower,

I would have the power to telekinetically control every single item of underwear in the world. Think of the ransom fees!

then i could totally be your arch-nemisis - i don't wear underwear, MWA HA Haaaa!

Actually, there's a worse one (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/31.html)...

There is always This guy (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/walrus.htm).


For me, I'd be a Skeletor. Let me explain.

Think back to those He-Man cartoons. Remeber the shots of Eternia? It was practically a fucking waste land. Was there an infrastructure? Hell no, instead the kingdom was spending dough on things like Dragonwalkers so He Man could cover crevases but what farmers there where couldn't take their goods to market. It was a wasteland ruled by an unstoppable industrial machine, I mean c'mon-the number two guy is Man at Arms? And Ram Man, that's just about destruction.

So I think that Skeletor had a better plan for Eternia and was just demonized by the He-Man propoganda machine. Look at his cabinet, Beastman, Merman-this is an enviromental cabinet, Skeletor was interested in the well being of the land while He-Man was trapsing about in his Dragonwalker and surrendering real power of the kingdom to that secretive Sorceress, and who knows what agenda she has, clearly not the good of the people.

I think those cartoons are just propaganda to demonize Skeletor, I think he had a better plan for Eternia, and that's the kind of super villian I would be.
Paid for by the Friends of Skeletor
Build Bridges, Not Dragonwalkers

Actually, there's a worse one (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/31.html)...

yeah... after reading through all of those, i realized there were FAR worse ones.

i mean... Stiltman?!?

yeah... after reading through all of those, i realized there were FAR worse ones.

i mean... Stiltman?!?

Hey! That's harder than it looks. I still havn't mastered the stilts. :p

I guess I fall under the "Thanos" discription.

In my most extreme form, I feel that the entire world is corrupt, decadent, unjust, and completely beyond redemption. The greedy and corrupt rule, people murder people and tyranny reigns.

The slate must be swept clean.

My supervillian persona has no large organization, no real funding, and no real support beyond my own desire to bring order back to the world by inducing chaos by assassinating politicians, destroying power plants, etcetera, etcetera. I work alone, and I am absolutely unstopable. Once civilization as we know it has been torn apart by chaos, the survivors can take over, and start things again with a clean slate.

Superheroes may try to stop me, but they fail to realize that all empires must come to an end. It is inevitable.

Hey! That's harder than it looks. I still havn't mastered the stilts. :p

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, Stiltman cheated. He used giant mechanical stilts, so he didn't have to ballance.

So you fancy Death, do you?

The cheating bastard!

I think as a supervillain, I might like to invent the O-ray gun.
It's an insidious device that causes all within it's beam to orgasm uncontrollably.

I take it you haven't seen the Orgasmo movie then. :p

the Ice Queen already did that - although, she used telepathy...

So you fancy Death, do you?

Ehhh...not so much...

the title to this one (http://www.superdickery.com/stupor/68.html) damn near made me spit out my drink!

There is always This guy (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/walrus.htm).

Ah, the Walrus. He actually gets mentioned on SuperDickery.com too.

Ehhh...not so much...

Some Thanos you are!

I take it you haven't seen the Orgasmo movie then. :p

Apparently not. Why? Did somebody beat me to it?

It's an insidious device that causes all within it's beam to orgasm uncontrollably.It seems you may not have seen Orgazmo (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124819/) by Trey Parker (or falsely assume that none of us have seen it). Three guesses as to what he's holding in his hand :p

For me, I'd be a Skeletor.
You wouldn't enjoy it...

Or would you?

Hmm.... ;)

1) a bobble-head of Tony Danza?

Apparently not. Why? Did somebody beat me to it?

It's a 1997 movie made by the creators of South Park that has the afformentioned ray you'd want to make. Something tells me you'd enjoy it. :p

2) nude pictures of Bea Aurthur??

It's a 1997 movie made by the creators of South Park that has the afformentioned ray you'd want to make. Something tells me you'd enjoy it. :p

hey, you didn't let us use all our guesses!!

Hmm.... ;)He's not the villain though. Then again, that kind of power wouldn't necessarily be considered villainous either... :D

But I had a link, so I guess my reply was better! :D

I would be like the Mysterons (from Captain Scarlet). Never seen - I appear only as a disembodied voice and the famous 'Eyes'. I can take over people and things, replacing them with a perfect replica under my control.

He's not the villain though. Then again, that kind of power wouldn't necessarily be considered villainous either... :D

It could end war.

It's definitely a power for the 'misunderstood' villain. *nod*

then i could totally be your arch-nemisis - i don't wear underwear, MWA HA Haaaa!
Yes, but other people do, and that is in itself a great advantage to me even when you do not! I wonder how able to fight back you would be in a room where its whole female population has just had their entire topwear torn apart from the inside... mwahaha...

:( You beat me to it.
But I had a link, so I guess my reply was better! :D

FOILED AGAIN!

The genius of Lex Luthor. (The bald head is simply a coincidence.)

The intesity of the Joker.

The cunning of Dr. Hannibal Lecter.



"Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name."

Would you be the 'misunderstood' evil like Magneto, the 'rule the world' evil like Dr. Doom, the criminal mastermind evil like Doctor Octopus or the 'Everything must go' evil like Thanos?

I always like the old Magneto... a villian with class.

I guess Ra's Al Ghul... from the comics.

World Spanning Organization. Riches to fund this organization...

and the class to
1) if I discover my nemesis's identity, I would keep it to myself.
2) be self assured enough that if I do need to ask the hero for help, I could.
3) know when to fight the hero, or along side the hero.

if there was a villian with the skilz of McGiver...we'd all be dead...

McGiver? is that a New McDonald's character? :D

do you mean McGyver?

McGiver? is that a New McDonald's character? :D

do you mean McGyver?

macgyver/mcgiver, its the same thing... :D

Death to the goo!

Death to the goo!

who brought the goo?

if there was a villian with the skilz of McGiver...we'd all be dead...Well, there's Murdoc. The only one to ever beat him was MacGyver...

I'd be one of the villians from FFX, and yes I realize we're out of the realm of "Super"villians here. The hoopster and the walrus weren't that super anyway, really.
Back on topic:
Sin was a giant superpowerful monster that ended up being controlled by the hero's father and a bug that didn't know what the hell it was doing. Pretty good misunderstood villian there.
Seymore somehow thought that the only possible way to save the world was to destroy it entirely. At least he had some kind of good intention.
Oooh, and Kefka.
Crazy god-clowns rule all!

Crazy god-clowns rule all!

It is only because of the dramatic accuracy of this statement that I don't send my scrotum-seeking attack weasels out to hunt down your Final Fantasy-playing ass. :p
