I'm not an antihero. I'm not an edgy protagonist. I'm not a lukewarm baddie. I don't want to do anything necessary to save the world, or my kid, or my lover, or get revenge. Those pussies were just a step down the evolutionary tree that led to me.
I'm the Bad Guy. I'm the villain. I am the ultimate form of Evil (Yes, with the capital E, motherfucker). I will do anything to anyone if it will get me what I want, and I want everything. I want to be Alexander the Great, Ghengis Khan and Adolf Hitler. I want to control as much as I can for as long as I can, no matter the costs other people pay. I want this city, this nation, the world, the fucking Universe. I want it all.
Anyone who's with me will be given heaven on a platter, and anyone who's against me will watch everything they love burned to a crisp in front of them. I'm not playing around. I'm ready! I'm ready to make the world remember my name with a mixture of terror and awe. Books will be written about me. Mothers will tell their children I'll come get them if they aren't good (and maybe I will). People will say my name in vain.
Are you ready for it? Have you felt my coming? Have you shit your pants yet? I'm here, and it's time to get this show on the road.
World
[] Fantasy World: A world filled with Magic, Elves, Dragons, Gods, Gnomes and Orcs awaits my conquest. Sauron, Lannisters and Voldemort move aside. It's my turn in the spotlight.
[] Sci-Fi World: Artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and terraforming will all be essential tools in my galactic domination. From my virtual throne, I will crack the whip from here to the Scutum–Centaurus.
[] Superherovillain World: Superstrength, tinkertech, teleportation? Hah! You all lost the cosmic lottery, and I won. Time to cash my metaphorical check and show you how powerful I am.

I don't know about you, SV, but I've been looking to scratch a villainous itch for a while. I recently posted in this thread about it, and I decided, what the hell, give me my back scratcher and I'll do it myself! Anyways, if the hubristic hyperbole above wasn't enough to clue you in, this quest is going to be about a megalomaniac who wants to set the world aflame and build it back up in his/her image. So without further ado…

Current Name: Laura Crabtree
Sex: Female
Says She Is: 28 (Real Age: 36)
Occupation: Private Security Consultant (Side-Gig: Thief)
Power: Fire Seer
-I can see the future in flames. The farther out the prediction, the more inaccurate it is.
-I have minor pyrokinesis at close range. Occasionally, I burst into flames, especially in tense situations. It's pretty annoying. I've also been having these headaches. It's probably unrelated.
-I am immune to heat and being burned. Thankfully, I'm not one of those Ultras who's powers injure or kill them.

Former CIA: I know what's happening in the shadows.
Debt: I owe a lot of people a lot of money.
Experimental Subject: A shadowy organization kidnapped and preformed disgusting and excruciating experiments on me. They got theirs when I developed my powers, and murdered every last person in the lab, including the other subjects. (No sense in leaving potential competitors lying around). Of course, who knows what the resources and reach of this group are? Are they government, corporate, religious? The real question is… should I try to find out?

Earth Zed - Puritan City, Connecticut
Ultraheroes (Vigilantes):
The Lion: The Lion wears a black spandex suit, with yellow gloves/boots and a Lion mask. He is one of the first Ultraheroes, starting in 2004.
-Power: The Lion is indestructible. The only person who has been able to injure him is Skull. The injuries Skull gives heal extraordinarily quickly, though.
-Tactics: The Lion is fond of using high powered weaponry to kill/injure his opponents, while relying on his power to protect him. Against Skull, he is forced to use non-lethal methods.
Ultravillains:
Skull: Skull wears a black suit that has a skeleton printed on it. He is one of the most powerful villains in the city. He has only been a villain for a couple years.
-Power: His Ultrapower is the ability to transfer any wound to or from himself to or from anyone in his line of sight. He can handle having (what would normally be) several fatal wounds at once, for hours, and barely slow down.
-Tactics and MO: Skull loves to attack crowded places. He can turn a gun or a knife on himself or anyone in his line of sight, and then apply those wounds to anyone in the room. Sometimes he robs a bank. Sometimes he picks a fight with another Ultra, just for fun. Sometimes he goes into a crowded area and attacks innocents for seemingly no reason.

Timeline:
1975
- MKUltra, a secret CIA program to enhance operatives' capabilities, is revealed to the public by a congressional investigation.
1982
- Ronald Reagan announces a new program to enhance American soldiers' physical and mental capabilities. It's dubbed Project Ultra by the media, named after the CIA MKUltra program. This ramps up the Cold War arms race, especially in the fledgling biological wing.
1989
- The USSR deploys their own version of the Ultrasoldier, the крайние солдаты (the Krajnie) in the Afghan war.
1990
- The USSR establishes a manned base on Mars.
1992
- NASA and the Soviet Space Program (SKP) announce that they have discovered an anomalous object in the Trojan Asteroids. There is rampant speculation that this is an alien craft.
1993
- The USA establishes a manned base on Mars. Sadly, two months after landing, almost all 80 of the astronauts perished in a tragic accident. The two astronauts who survived were rescued by Soviet cosmonauts, and allowed to stay at the Soviet mars base.
1994
- The Emissary and эмиссар (èmissar) probes enter orbit around the Unidentified Trojan Orbiter (UTO).
1995
- Astronauts and cosmonauts are sent on a joint mission to the Soviet mars base.
1998
- UTO is towed to the mars for study. NASA and the SKP confirm that UTO was the result of intelligent design.
2002
- Astronauts and cosmonauts on mars are infected with some kind of microbe. It is believed to originate from the UTO. Three out of the 163 astronaut/cosmonauts die, and four develop special abilities. All are infected, but besides these seven, show no obvious symptoms.
- One of the astronauts spontaneously teleports to his home in Austin, Texas. The microbe spreads across the US.
2004
- Despite worldwide quarantine procedure, the microbe (called the Virus in the US) spreads to every corner of the globe.
- Approximately 3.78% of the world's population perishes from the Virus. Approximately 2.13% develop Ultrapowers, named after the USA's Ultrasoldiers. The rest of the world is infected, but unaffected.
