The world of tomorrow has arrived, and the age of mundanity has passed away. It is once again the age of heroes; an age where mighty demigods stride across the world to shape it according to their vision. Unnatural powers, amazing mutations, and wondrous creations abound, something that should rock the whole world.

And yet the world refuses to change.

The reactionary forces that the common, sheep like populace calls superheroes somehow does the impossible. It holds back the tide. Even though outnumbered, often with a single so-called hero facing down up to a dozen visionary men and women, they still force the boot of tyranny on the throat of progress.

It would be admirable if it was not so repulsive.

However, that was before. Now...now things would be different! For unlike any other time in history, you are now on the scene! Unparalleled, you shall break the dam of repression and the flood of freedom shall wash out over humanity! Though this is just how you figure the history books will describe it. Your true reason, your true motive is...

[] [Goal] Revenge of course! You never could forgive a bad turn until you had properly returned it, you see. That hero has everything, and you will not rest until you see all of it, and them, utterly destroyed. (Revenge)
[] [Goal] To rule the world of course! Everyone else is doing it wrong, you see. They keep having all these opinions and thoughts on matters that were just plain wrong. (Dominion)
[] [Goal] To get rich of course! It's all about the money, you see. Retiring to a nice, beautiful island where every luxury was at your fingertips is all you want. For someone of your talents, all you need to do is take it. (Wealth)

Of course, you are no mere mortal. You have...

[] [Power] A vast intellect and the full might of SCIENCE behind your cause! Clearly, there is no limit to what you could accomplish with SCIENCE! (Super Science)
[] [Power] The strange and unique ability to bend the chains of fate, bringing improbable fortune to yourself, or misfortune to your enemies who happen to be in your sight. (Probability Manipulation)
[] [Power] The amazing and awesome power to turn these physical gods into normal men and women when in your presence. (Power Nullification)

No one is without their flaws of course, though you have fewer than most. You will admit, however, that...

[] [Flaw] Perhaps you might indulge in a bit of convoluted planning, a teensy tendency to use two elements where one will do. But isn't the sublime elegance when a plan comes together worth it? (Complexity Addiction)
[] [Flaw] You have your honor. There are things you will never stoop to, for there is no meaning if your victory is not won in an upright and honorable manner. It may make things harder, but isn't the satisfaction of true superiority worth it? (Honorable Conduct)
[] [Flaw] You struggle with your humility. Your hard work on excising any and all flaws has made it slightly difficult to be properly humble, but when you easily achieve it anyway, did not the added difficulty only make it more worth it? (Pride)

Also, a small trifling matter, you were born...

[X] [Power] (write-in) The power to raise the dead! Sure, your most common attempts at necromancy merely result in mindless zombies to perform manual labor, but with the right resources you could surely improve your skills and raise intelligent revenants or return the once dead to life once more! Surely, there are plenty of people who would accept you as their leader if immorality was on the table! (Necromancy)



Basic idea is we can create or summon undead, starting with boring zombies who aren't good in combat but can perform manual labor and basic goon stuff. Later missions (and maybe collecting old books, artifact's, crystals, cultist followers, etc) could allow for bringing back other villains who died to work for us or even properly ressurect people's loved ones if we get the equivalent of a philosoper's stone or other McGuffin.

Or if we get enough magical doodads in place, we can tap into Blood Moon style mass ressurection for our minions:

Honor is a bogus quality for a villain protagonist. It's playing the hero as usual, while paying lip service to evil.

Because I like the Lex Luthor type villains. Practicality is often the only advantage villains have over heroes. Let's not throw it away by being overly complicated or stupidly honorable, shall we?

The worlds nations just don't understand. They seek out to make wealth, to suppress others. They don't look where they should. Where we've all dreamed of going. The Stars. But as it stands humanity isn't united, we are separate from one another. We need to unite. No wanna be hero is going to stop me, I will all unite of humanity, and lead them to the stars. I will start the Galactic Empire of Man!

As it stands if I develop any kind of space flight vessels it will be confiscated by the government and used to further their own agenda instead of humanity as a whole, so I need to make these nations fall. I need them to bow before me. As the true Emperor of Man!

I see that style tag at the top and I wonder? What would be more fitting than constantly slaving away to make our plans as stylish and perfect as possible?
