Would you ever consider becoming a World Super Villain?
If fantasy could become reality, is there anybody here that would do it? Terrorize trillions of people, kill millions, threaten the world to turn the notion of "civil society" on its ear, revenge upon every single last person you ever met in your life that rejected you (and every last person that is "just like them"), show the world your omnipotent, true fury, just plainly make everybody "pay"? 
Do you find yourself "tired" of playing your little part in the world of being "the good guy" and never getting fair turnaround? Does being the good sumaritan all seem pointless after a while? Do you relate on some level to "General Dis-Array"? (a South Park reference)
Please post-in on this little bubble topic where ye shall not be judged...

it would certainly spice up your daily routine, assuming that you weren't very good at it.
once you piss off the big boys though you'd end up living your life shitting into a hole in some cave in the desert ala. Osama. no thanks.

Oh yes, you also get your pick of the world's hottest/sexy, naughtiest villainess to be by your side, as well...
of course there is LOBO

This is the best part where fantasy meets reality (in that a bit of "reality" is still left intact). The "good" will not prevail over "evil" here. In fiction, the good always ends up winning because that leaves things a little more upbeat. However in reality, the "good guy" quite frequently bites the dust. There is just too much out there to trip him up and then finish him. Evil is likely to prevail because it is that much more treacherous and determined to make its objective. There are no "rules" to spare "the innocent" and minimize loss of life and property for the bad guy while meeting his objectives. So that all leads back into part of what I said earlier- why even bother being a "good guy"? You only end up getting exploited by somebody else who isn't quite so nice. Be ruthless, be treacherous, be cold-hearted, and get "yours".

but mystique could make her self look like ANYONE...that would be useful!
One must remember that that fatal flaw of the supervillian is that they could use their powers in a legitimate manner to obtain wealth and power. Instead they hatch nutty plans that involve massive amounts of destruction. Take Lex Luthor in the first Superman movie. He bought up a big chunk of California desert, stole a nuke and lauched it to hit a spot that would make the West Coast sink into the sea thus making his desert prime ocean front real estate. See he could have just used his super mind to predict emerging technological and commerical trends and purchased stock. But no, buy desert, kill off west coast, and then sell new ocean front property.
If I was a super villian, I would hatch a plot invoving owning all the oil and resources in the middle east by buying stock in specific technology and oil companies then years later using the U.S. military to..........no wait, someone beat me to this one.
Ok. I would start researching nuclear weapons at my isolated lair and then offer to stop researching them only if I am paid a heafty sum, then I would continue researching them behind the civilized worlds back to further extort more...............damn someone beat me to this one.
Oh, f**k it. I'd build an earthquake machine and make things shake until I got paid massive amounts of cash money.
<nervous thought>
I wonder if any else is working on this?

In reality I say that good always wins out in the end.
The trick is knowing weather or not you are near the end of the story where goodness rules, or still in the middle where the villian is demonstrating how evil he is by crushing do good worms like you.
It is also hard to know in reality if you are a hero, a side kick or comic relief.
So take heart in knowing that in the end (in reality) everything turns out for the best.

Well, that presupposes that the ends always justify the means. Meaning, why should losing in the end outweigh all the coolness and joy of the process of being a supervillian?

besides which, you'd just escape in a week or two anyway to wreak more havoc on the world.
you forget, good guys are all pussies and won't kill anyone. (well, except for wolverine.
do all you want, they'll lock you up and tell you you're a bad boy and not to do it again.
next week, escape, rinse, repeat.
