which kind of powers we would get, if we would have a not killing policy or not...
BUT I ASK YOU: Which kind of villain would you be?
Would you act for money? Crawl for power? Driven by your hate for the world? Would you use cosmic powers or just your wits? Would you destroy the world or conquer it?
I'd mainly use money and wit. My plan would be to purchase a major comic book distributor and fill the comics with my proggressivist agenda.
Money to live comfortably and maybe ADVENTURE!
Would be fun for sure
I would like to get time control powers, with them i would steal everything i want. Maybe go to Syria and pull some safety pins from grenades for some keks.
>>83633806
I'd be the kind of villain nobody hears about, ever. I'd keep my crime hidden, seemingly small and unimportant. I'd live in moderate luxury and just enjoy life.
What would I do with world domination? Boring, too much work.
I'd be a dick for the sake of being a dick. No tragic backstory or ulterior motive. I'd be the fun kind of villain who'd make peoples lives hell
I'd be the kind of villain who's so bad at what he's doing he becomes the universe's greatest hero.
>>83633806
Straight to Doom. Find a small, vulnerable nation take over. Expand my power and resources by abusing my authority but not in a Mugabe way. Like actualy productive shit instead of just tanking the economy to create corruption and dependency.
I'd probably seek to grab a few more small places before I go for the global conquest thing. I've been around and I can tell you there is no shortage of the weak and willing.
As an aside while I respect Doom respecting his roots I definitely think I'd go for a uniform look to my rule. Everyone's getting evil costumes, everyone. Kids, adults, grandma and grandpa. The houses and schools are all getting redesigned. Utensils. Everything.
I'm not talking that little league fashionable Nazi stuff either, I'm talking full on skulls, spikes, chains. REAL skulls too.
Skitter tier for sure, anti-villains best villains.
I don't know about powers but my motivation would probably be me thinking I was doing the right thing in the end for the world. I get really frustrated at all the class bullshit that goes on in our society, so I'd be assassinating the wealthy one by one, starting from richest man on earth down or ruining their lives by exposing corruption.
And no I don't believe in the Illuminatti before you ask or only. They died out in 1700's Belgium.
>>83634457
what's an anti-villain?
>>83634091
>>83634432
I always thought I'd do what you want to do, but to be honest with myself, I don't think I want to be burdened with ruling the world; I simply seek the thrill of conquering it. Fun is pretty much my only real motivator for evil, as much as my idols in villainy are the severe, no-nonsense types like Doom, Slade, and what have you.
>>83634091
Good thing this is metaphorical. Hopefully that never happens...
>>83634608
Think Taskmaster as opposed to Deadpool.
>>83634457
>Skitter-tier
Coil did nothing wrong
>>83634944
Friendly reminder that Lung is objectively the GOAT Brockton Bay villain.
>>83634970
Just because he's a big guy doesn't mean he's the best.
>>83634869
wait, what? I get the idea of an anti-hero, but I still don't get what an anti-villain is
>>83635077
It's just the reverse of an anti-hero, anon. It's a villain who consistently blurs the line, but is still a villain.
>>83634970
You are simply not being truthful with yourself, or with us.
I'd probably be like the Rogues. Taking over the world seems like a lot of work, and I don't really want to hurt anyone, but money is nice.
Test
>>83635182
Okay, I feel retarded now
>>83633806
Kinda tought for me. If I go ego maniac route I can reunite Ireland under my Peaceful Tyranny. But Britain would come after me.
I secure all northern minority rights ofcourse. Kill all sides of paramilitarism, sweep up Dublin crime gangs.
Hold out I suppose.
>>83635203
You know, you're right.It's Tattletale..
>>83635224
I don't really want to hurt anyone, either, I just really want a cool costume and a cool lair to be theatrical and clever in, with some fun nonsense to pull off and shock the world with. But the image of being someone who wants to take over the world is essential to that. It wouldn't be the same if I settled for being a bank robber with exceptional style.
>>83633806
Nah. I would just be a huge prick.
Like asking a complicated dish of there's a lot of people behind me in the line or paying in cents really expensive stuff in the supermarket line
And nobody could do anything because I have superpowers and technically isn't ilegal what i'm doing.
>>83635307
I feel like there's a really good word for petty contrivances like that and the noun would serve as your name.
>>83635224
See I'd probably try that but after like the fifth time of having to break out of jail I'd basically go full Zoom and just dedicate my life to fucking over my rival
It really depends on if I had powers or not. If not I'd probably just do organized crimes but with some odd gimmick and a costume. If I had powers I'd he the pettiest motherfucker on earth. I'd find one guy and fuck with him by doing stupid shit like taking parts out of his car so it won't run, turn off his fridge so everything spoils, or leave flaming bags of dog shit. I would let him know it was me doing it so when he tells people no one will believe him.
>>83635374
This impulse is an important part of villainy.
What if your rival was really hot, though? How would that affect things?
Are there any good hero/villain romantic/sexual relationships out there? I don't just mean something like Batman and Catwoman, I'm more looking for someone who fits the arch-villain mold having a thing for their nemesis, which may or may not be reciprocated.
>>83634495
The Bilderberg Group rule the world these days.
>>83635426
Go away Zoom
>>83635446
Well if they were hot the only thing that would change is I'd have more pictures of them on my nemesis wall.
If i dedicate myself to destroying the cancerous little shits who are slowly un-weaving the fabric of society does that count as villainous? You know, start by killing Hillary Bernie and Trump, hunting down and brutally murdering SJW's and hardcore racist /pol/ sons a bitches. Probably hit the cultists and the fedora tippers next. Basically just carve out everything i think is detrimental to society. Sufficiently villainous? I mean i don't want to just go stealing shit, and i have no interest in murdering random people or trying to take over the world, but there are a lot of people i think the world would be better off without, and purging the world of degenerates is probably more of a villain thing than a hero one.
>>83635525
And your name would be edge lord
I would be a really bad villain. Like, sure I'd rob the world for all its gold, or topple the UK,maybe conquer a slice of the world for myself, but I would feel terrible thinking about the effects of my actions. In reality I would probably NEVER use my powers out of fear of what people would think. I'm incredibly self conscious. Like, self conciousness is to me what Flash is to goes fast
>>83635633
You are the Earthly vassal of the Spaghettiforce, and if you can tap into that power directly, you would be unstoppable.
>>83635665
What if every awkward and embarrassing moment in my life was orchestrated by another? That time I started to stammer and sweat when i asked that girl out to dinner? What if that was some diabolical super Bro?
>>83635632
And i'm A okay with that. Lets be honest, plenty of characters have shitty names.
>>83633806
Joker style
>>83635733
Go to bed, Light Yagami.
>>83635721
Those moments are orchestrated by your own self, subconsciously. Overpower your weaknesses with force of will.
>>83633806
I'd be a Captain Cold type I feel, if I were to be a villain. I'm loyal as hell, I have a code of honor, and I wouldn't be ok with killing people I'm robbing.
>>83633806
Probably because my superpowers have driven me completely insane.
I've just got too much of a moralfag code ingrained in me to be an outright villain or bring myself to hurt people as I am now.
>>83635759
Not until i get carpal tunnel, or my pen runs out of ink, whichever comes first.
Jokes aside, i think villainous crusader is best kind of villain. If they have an ideology, even if that ideology is terrible, it makes them more interesting to me than that guy who just wants a quick buck or is in it for shits and giggles.
>>83635783
I make the entire world spill spaghetti, and conquer it through sheer awkwardness
I am Earths conqueror, Earths protector. I am Awkwardo
>>83633806
Id be the joke villain.
Id go around committing really stupid crimes, like literally stealing candy from a baby, or holding up a Bed Bath and Beyond and building a pillow fort inside.
The heroes just need a relaxing, fun time once and a while. I would be that fun time.
>>83635789
I'm the same way.
It would have to take something pretty severe to make me a bad guy.I'm less naturally altruistic than I am pathologically desperate for the acceptance and approval of others.
Regardless, I'd rather be a hero.
>>83635804
They're definitely more complex, but I prefer the villains who do it for fun, they tend to be the most stylish and dramatic. The ones who are just in it for money are usually the worst, and excessive greed is a lot more entertaining in an otherwise decent person (Grunkle Stan)
>>83635833
Like Madcap?
>>83635833

I don't know who the character in your image is, so I imagined the joke villain being a qt blue monster woman and I'd join her in her pillow fort.
>>83635884

>Most of the villains Gruenwald introduced in Captain America were created to symbolize aspects of contemporary American culture and the world political situation.

Heh, that does sound like a lot of us. I-
>Madcap first appeared in Captain America #307 (July 1985)

Take over a chain of pacific islands, disappear from the public eye, and run a worldwide drug, prostitution, espionage and assassination ring. Sex tourism and drug use is HUGE with the elite/wealthy and the idea of living as a debauched evil robin hood with mind control powers sounds awesome.
>>83635979

>>83633806
Frank Castle meets Doomguy, adds a complete disregard for innocents.
RIP AND TEAR
I once created a villain called 'The Fly' who used equipment stolen from other villains to launch a criminal career.
He was captured, arrested, and eventually reformed after falling in love with his court-appointed psychiatrist.
>>83636004
In my defense, those children deserved it.
They were criminals working for this guy >>83636006
>>83636043
There will be a revolution, and it will be so great and so terrible that their kind will never sin again.
>>83636074
Was he at all fly-themed?
I'd commit crimes simply to challenge myself. Also I'd have a code. Keep casualties to around zero and NO killing whatsoever. Oh, and if some big cosmic level threat comes knocking on Earth's door I'd be there to answer.
>>83636101
One can always hope.
>>83636131
Nice, solid look. I never had the patience or the skill to handle those character builders. I can't even create characters in Bethesda games, it's way too much freedom and work. I just choose a pre-set and alter a few details on them.
>>83635860
To each there own. Personally i'll take complexity and ambiguity over style most of the time, but i understand the appeal. What are your thoughts on villains who used to be heroes? Or heroes who turn out to secretly be villains? I swear i'm not trying to bring up cap.
>>83636175
Thanks! I have dozens and dozens of these things.
I'm creating a comic book universe that I hope to write stories in one day.I'm not an artist in the least bit, though, so that puts a damper on things.
I can post more of my villains, if you'd like?
Nobody really wronged me in my life, and I ain't smart enough to have near foolproof plans... But dammit I'll wing it and try to destroy something. I'll let you know when I do it
>>83636183
I like my evil to be evil and look evil and act evil, but heroes who turn out to secretly be villains are usually the most competent, rational, and successful villains, so they have my respect. Fallen heroes are also very interesting in a different way, it's generally tragic.
>>83636225
I have a friend who was just like you. He's writing scripts for his first season right now. Please do!
>>83636342
Sure thing. I don't have as many as I once did -- my external drive crashed and I lost most of my work. I've been recreating things, but it's slow going and I focus more on my heroes.
The main hero of my setting is called Apex. He debuted in 1939 and disappeared, along with his arch-nemesis, in 1969. The resulting power vacuum shook things up quite a bitand it changed again when they both returned.
This is that nemesis, Doctor Zero, as he appeared in 1939. Very probably the most intelligent man of his or any other era, Zero is indirectly responsible for Apex receiving his powers and loathes him for usurping his destiny.
>>83636540
>1930's-era supervillain
Good, good!
>>83636342
There is a certain beauty in clear cut lines between Good and Evil. I do love watching good triumph, and based on you liking your evil to be evil i'm guessing you like your good to be good, which i do as well. I enjoy reading stuff like that cause its heartwarming and makes me feel good, but when i think of my very favorites, they tend to be the more nuanced characters. Even though i'll read those and come out feeling like shit sometimes, for some reason i love it when the villain has really complex motives and is almost relatable. Maybe i just have problems.
>>83636131
>>83636540
Is there a program you used for these?
>>83633806
Kinda wanted to be that kind of theatrical over the top villain who is a joke most of the time but can do some major damage if he gets serious.
>>83636540
This is Totenkopf, or Death's Head, a Nazi mystic and leader of the Vril Society. He possesses a gauntlet, which he refers to as the Hand of God, that allows him to drain and manipulate life energy. When Berlin fell and the war in Europe was all but over he used his master of mysterious forces to raise everyone killed in the Dresden bombing as mindless undead servants and laid claim to the state of Saxony, which he has renamed Totenstaat.
>>83636708

Mastery*, sorry.
I'm typing more quickly than I should.
>>83636647
You get me. Did you ever watch Lost? Ben Linus is my favorite fictional character, I think you'd like him. He's a very highly nuanced and layered antagonist who considers himself one of the good guys but does enough "evil" to win my favor.
>>83637048
I'm a sucker for a skull head.
>>83637048
Communist villains were all the rage in the 60s and 70s, and my setting has a trio: Hammer, a musclebound bruiser, Sickle, a speedster, and their leader, the mind-controlling Red Menace.
>>83637141
>>83637117
Thanks; I'm glad that you're liking them.
>>83637160
>>83633806
Rogues' style bank robbers with a code to minimize the heat from capes and cops
>>83637141
>>83637160
>>83637169
Very charming concept for the outrageous theme. Have you developed the Red Menace's mind control powers yet? I think that's one of the harder superpowers to write for because in most ways it's OP as hell, but in others, it really isn't very handy and if he had to fight, say, a killer robot, he'd be helpless. You have to find a balance.
I'd be the kind of villian that will do anything to set up my fmaily for life.
I'd either bea really agressive businessman ala luthor and build my empire through ilegal and dangerous ways to keep my family rich and prosperous forever and ever.
Or I'd be the ruthless dicator of a country like queen bee or count vertigo just to set up my heirs in that way.
>>83637141
>>83637160
>>83637169
This is awesome, so much nostalgia.I would love this.
>>83635224
>>83637188
Alright, if I wanted to get into the Rogues, what do I read? Assuming I can find the comics anywhere to begin with.
>>83633806
Low-level crime. Rob banks, stuff like that. Any place I know has an insurance policy that will reimburse them.
This is why I couldn't be a villain. I would be thinking, if I rob this place, they might be shut down for awhile, and now all the people who work there are going to be out of work for that time.
>>83637085
Never saw lost, maybe i'll have to take a look. You read invincible?
>>83637269
I've been meaning to. I have read (Soon I Will Be) Invincible, an unrelated book starring a supervillain.
>>83635224
Same probably.
I'd rob banks, create elaborate hoaxes, but I'd never kill anyone. Just be an all around nuisance.
When I'm not robbing or what have you, I'm a nice guy, maybe even offer to by my hero a drink or two from time to time.
>>83637169
Kruul the Conqueror was exiled from Mangania, a secret city of not-quite-gorillas, for attempting to overthrow their king. After rampaging through Africa for several days he was defeated by Apex, whom he has vowed to destroy.
>>83637223
Red Menace doesn't really have 'mind control.' He's not even telepathic. He's just very persuasive, supernaturally so, and his powers are enhanced by his crown. My 1939 stories are very, very Golden Age. After Red Menace converts Apex's home city to Communism, Apex deduces that it HAS to be mind control because the people of Utopolis are REAL Americans and no REAL American would ever be suckered in by the lies of Communism.
>>83637237
I'm so glad that you're enjoying it. I've been talking about this setting on /co/ for a few years now. I had a team of UN-funded heroes called the Peacekeepers that I talked about for a while. I'm calling them the Sentinels now, but it's the same group of characters.
>>83633806
I'd probably try to be the a sword for hire kind of villain, being contracted by other villains to fulfill missions. But probably my anger issues would lead to me to overdose myself with some easy gay to win power fast and would end wrecking things Bane style.
>>83637251
Flash
Barry or Wally
Geoff Johns really likes them though.
Rogue's Revenge and Rogue's Rebellion minis were pretty cool
>>83637406
Intelligent gorillas are a timeless villain staple.
I love that persuasion angle, I've considered something similar.
>>83637406
I'm sorry, Red Menace and his cronies would appear in the 1969 stories, and would be closer to Silver Age in tone than Golden Age. Forgive me.
Scream Queen is an emotional vampire that feeds on the fear of her victims and can conjure up illusions of the things that they're most afraid of.
>>83637422
Thanks!
>>83637489
I love horror-flavored villains. I think her name is "taken" by a one-off villainess from Batman: The Brave and the Bold, but I don't think that's a problem? It's not like you're naming her Batwoman or anything.
>>83637295
Huh, i should look for that. It's pretty good. I mean i thought it was hype, but once it gets going it's actually really good, and it has some wonderfully morally ambiguous characters. Which is not to say they are all necessarily complex, but a few are.
>>83637489
>>83637488
Oh, no doubt. You've got to have your funky monkeys.
The Meltdown Man was created by Doctor Zero during his attempts to recreate the accident that gave Apex his powers. As he is unable to control his radioactivity and therefore a walking nuclear disaster, you don't defeat Meltdown Man so much as you just try to contain him.He eventually receives psychiatric help and, after donning a containment suit, reforms as a hero called Hazard.
>>83637545
'Scream queen' is a common-enough term that I should be okay, but I'll look into it to make sure.
>>83637633
>Hazard
Brilliant.
I'd become a symbol for the world to unite against, while eliminating the largest elements blocking that unity.
I'd live in hope that one day they come together and create a means to defeat me.

I love all of these, but i gotta be honest, they are kinda derivative. Course to be honest everything is derivative nowadays, there is nothing new under the sun, its all been done before. I mean i'm sure it would be fun, but you wouldn't get very far before people started screaming at you bout what you'd ripped off.
>>83633806
>Which kind of villain would you be?
Like Golgoth from Empire, I guess. Forge the world into my vision of justice and order at all costs.
>>83637655
>>83637655
Thank you!
>>83637703
Well, that's certainly part of the point, for me -- and hopefully part of the appeal for the readers. Immediate familiarity would be a plus, right? I'm working with archetypes, here -- the Mad Genius, the Nazi Mystic, the Nuclear Man, etc.
We've reached the end of the villains that I've done up for Apex, unless we want to move into spoiler territory. I have some nonaligned villains done, but only very few. One of them, the Fly, you've already seen.
This is Indrid Cold. He leads a gang of villains themed after popular cryptids and urban legends -- none of which I've had a chance to illustrate yet, unfortunately. His gang includes characters like the Mad Gasser of Mattoon, the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, the Hook, the Goatman, and of course the Jersey Devil.
I'm thinking of making them the de-facto enemies of another of my heroes, the Silver Skull, but I haven't decided yet.

Coolest concept yet, and also something I've never seen done in this context before. Very fresh. I do love your archetypes, though, and am the kind of reader you're angling for with them.
>>83637971
Indrid is definitely one of my favorites. He's been around for a long, long time, and nobody's sure what he really is. He only LOOKS like a person.
This is the last of my unaffiliated villains. Presto the Preposterous was a stage magician that started to incorporate real magic into his act, but an accident on stage ended his career and he turned to a life of crime, committing a series of flamboyant robberies and escaping before he could be apprehended. He carries a wand carved from a branch of Merlin's Tomb, without which his magic is unpredictable. In the story that I'm writing for him he HAS been captured and imprisoned, but no cage can hold him for long -- he's a master escape artist, after all.
And... that's it for the villains. I've got more in my head, of course, but none are currently illustrated.
>>83638123
Good luck with your thing, man. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for it.
>>83638173
Thanks, man. I lurk writer/artist hook-up threads, but I'm always a little too nervous to ask around for a partnership. I've got my fingers crossed that I'll eventually get over that.

>>83638696
I hadn't thought about it that way, but I'd be lying if I said that I'd never seen those movies.
>>83633806
Honestly, I'd end up being a bodyguard or mook for some bigger villain. End up in lots of supervillain teams and hope for success in numbers. Maybe I'd be ambitious enough to do a little bit of work on the side, but more likely I'd just be cowardly enough to make it out early.
>Driven by your hate for the world?
Driven by my love for the world, I'd take over the world to save it.
>>83640200
So, sort of like Doom when he's written correctly?
I'd like to be something of a small scale 'Bond villain' with a lot of pomp and camp, maybe a vaguely defined gimmick or something. I don't really have any major ambitions, even if the opportunities were available. No, what I'd want is just to dishonestly gain enough money to keep my ship sailing through a few clever schemes, plus a considerable amount of excess to put into hobbies, and to treat the hired henchmen, since they'll be getting their untrained+improperly armed asses kicked by my nemesis.
Also, having a nemesis would DEFINITELY be a priority. It would be cathartic as fuck to have one guy/or girl to project the distillation of all my grievances onto, whether it would be just to blow them the fuck out with petty nonsense, or to let become my 'White Whale' so I'd always have one seemingly manageable but elusive goal to keep me occupied.
>>83643392
I feel like you really understand me. You put the thoughts I have into words better than I could have.
I also happen to love the Blot, and can't seem to find any traces of his stories online. Such a pity.
>>83633806
The power every kid wants
The power to have any power he wants.
If I have to pick one, wolverine healing would be nice, would try more risky things that I don't have the balls to do, like sky diving or rock climbing.
>>83634091
That's villainous as fuck.
Evil
>>83644677
When I was a kid, I wanted the power to take powers from others, both so I could add them to my ever-expanding list of abilities, and to take them away from their original users. Think Sylar.
(Also, I'm unoriginal as fuck, so just taking everyone else's powers is easier.)
I'm so conscious of godmoding nowadays that I'd probably take something else, even in a purely hypothetical situation.
The anon above has it right -- Madcap's powers are awesome. Indestructibility and the power to fuck around with people's minds, driving them crazy or making them more amenable to your desires.
OP as fuck.
>>83644792
First things that popped in my head was Skylar before finishing your sentence, lol.

Honestly? The sad fucking truth?
I'm lonely as hell. And I'm pretty sure in a world with superpowers, that would be where I'd act from.
I don't know what form it would take. I mean, I hope it'd be something a little more clever than going, "I can MAKE them love me!" But I do know it'd be bad.
I'd do whatever the hell I feel like doing.
>>83633806
Money, and to showboat. I'd want to impress people to make up for my other positive traits.
>>83633806
>Which kind of villain would you be?
I'd be mostly like this guy.
I would do all the wrong things for all the right reasons.
I would most likely start off with a complicated power that over time becomes a major threat. I would end up as the type of villain that under the right circumstances would make an amazing hero.
And I know that from time to time I would try but I doubt I would be able to live with allowing certain people get off without either killing them or hurting them in such a way they could never harm another soul again.
I don't want a superpower, I just want the genius sort of intellect that would let me build all sorts of machines and gadgets that seem magical in what they can accomplish. Without even having the most basic knowledge of engineering. It's hard to even roleplay being this when you don't know a thing about it.

>inb4 not a villain
I think in real life, I'd be Doom. I'm essentially a prince where I am, so part of the local nobility. I consider myself extremely intelligent, and pretty good at pretty much a lot of things. Except there are always other specialized people better than me individually. I like to just fuck around in my little domain, don't care what happens outside.
I don't have a Richards though.
I guess I'm really more of a
>inb4 not a villainHank Pym
>>83635182
So uh...80s/00s Magneto?
>>83650791
>I'm essentially a prince where I am, so part of the local nobility.
This intrigues me. Would you be capable of granting titles of nobility to favored others? What might you have one do in exchange for such an honor?
>>83648867
>villain
>>83633806
Depending on your definition of Ozymandias. I am cynical that people can choose the path to "good" without being forced or led to it in some way. I feel like I should use my talents for some overall good or I'm a failure. So yeah, pretty much Ozymandias.
Otherwise, Magneto. Similar reasons really. I don't think I could be a money and selfish gains sort of person, villain or not. And as cool as Doom is, I lack his ego or ability to hold a grudge to that degree.

>I'm essentially a prince where I am...
High-caste Indian, anon?
Mid-scale robbery to keep my life comfy, with maybe the odd interference with politics. The latter could be more addicting than the former, though, so in an extreme scenario I might pull a Golden Path a la Leto II.

Well that escalated quickly
>>83635632
Or Kira :^)
>>83635789
Maybe you just have one bad day anon, and everything changes
>>83633806
I would be the Gorgon, or death seed sentry.
I'd find a superpowered pal like me and run a con in which I rob someone really richl, get thwarted by my friend, then have him collect the reward so we could split it 50/50. Maybe even have some of the stolen loot "disappear"
>>83635525
You would be beter off if you would go after the Bilderberg group.
But you little dipshit probably never even heard about them

Not that guy, but I am close to that, my maternal family/clan in india literally own a large village that has the city growing into it, the spot is prime real-estate that is right next to a state highway junction at one side a river behind and a vital bridge close by, according to all the stuff told to me by my elders, we are a bunch of villains quite literally, from burning a nearby village, slaying opposing families and being traitors to a temple we swore to protect which we burnt down and then apparently redeemed ourselves when Mysore invaded and we set to harassing and raiding the invading muslims under tipu, then immedately sold out our countrymen to the English to maintain our lands and titles after the Fourth Anglo Mysore War
My grandad who passed used to tell me how the family was part of a proto-hindu nationlist movement called the Sangha and that through some connections were involved in the partition and subsequent assasination of Gandhi, though the facts of this is often in question, it is known that my family HATES gandhi, he is seen as the reason why Islamists broke india.
Anyway the latest mess that happend was a great uncle of mine was denied the girl he loved who was from a rival clan and the girl's brother burnt her alive. This followed with my great uncle being arrested and thrown in jail accused of being a murderer, when he was released he found out that the brother of his ex gf was getting married, gathered up some men and massacred 20 people on the altar including the brother his parents and the bride and her family back in 1967
>>83653476
The story of your clan is fascinating and would make an excellent series itself.
>>83653576
Well I could possibly make it into some sort of series, one of my uncles is in the southern film industry and plays the lead role in hundreds of films.
>>83653920
Not hundreds but dozens, but I wouldnt want to either because of the family backlash, plus we are fairly tame now, since the death of the old guard and the dispersal of families the need for this kind of nonsense is no longer required
I'd make it so women would always have to piss in toilets with the seat up
>>83633806
I would rule the world because I know I can do it better than everyone else.
Of course, you have to break eggs to make an omelet.
>>83635525
>Murdering the symptoms instead of the cause.
Well you are a murderhobo villain, so I guess expecting intelligence is too much to ask for.
I think I'd wind up being the kind of villain whose major shtick is mutating people into monsters, having long ago relinquished all holds on my own humanity in every sense of the word. Not even out of a belief that I'm creating some Ubermensch or the next stage in human evolution or anything like that, it'd just be like that one panel where Spider-Man confronts Sauron about curing cancer and Sauron says he doesn't care about that, he just wants to turn people into dinosaurs.
>>83654306
Who's that an image of? GRIS doesn't know.
>>83655436
Pretty sure it's just an OC.
I call for REVOLUTION!
I must have missed it, because this hasn't been posted yet that I can see:
>http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RandomRoll once for normal mode, roll twice and you get a Good Opposite who specialises in ruining your plans, and will drop other hero duties to do so.
Does your roll[s] change your answer to OP?
I'd probably go on some ideological crusade to fix the world. because I feel I can control/govern/make the world better through my approach and people would naturally resist me and after trying to be reasonable I eventually realise the only way was to force them into submission.
I would eventually out smart, out craft and over power everyone and then put in place a benevolent dictatorship with me as the leader and improve the world.
Wipe out international jewry, muslims and communists
Oh wait you said villain
>>83656850
OW THE EDGE
Find some other villains to play video games with and jerk around.
>>83635665
this is a criminally underrated comment, im stealing the idea of the spaghetti force now, thanks senpai.
Code-of-honour Rogue-style thief who doesn't kill, or vigilante who murders people who get away with crimes. Either or.
>>83633806
I'd be a mostly benign dick and use my powers to inconvenience people.
What does conquering the world even entail? Do you have to be like president of everyone, because I wouldn't want the responsibility.
