Things were fucked up.
You were a twenty-something college dropout, saddled with a dead-end job you hated. Your parents liked to pretend that you didn't exist, and your brother was the textbook definition of an uptight dick from a fancy Ivy League university. Your greatest achievement in life was an undisputed record of forty-five consecutive wins in beer pong.
So, when a shady man offered you a suitcase and a job, you didn't hesitate. After all, who could say no to actual, honest-to-God superpowers? The Ultras were all the rage at the time. More popular than every actor and musician of the world combined, not to mention the side benefits like the ability bend steel with your mind.
The future looked bright up until your first bank robbery. Well, to be more precise, it was a bank robbery attempt, and as far as attempts went, it clearly didn't make the top ten. For one, you didn't get any money. For two, two of your partners were crime were knocked unconscious by some sweaty dude in metal armor. For three, you were now running away from the aforementioned sweaty dude while wearing what was basically a skin-tight bodysuit and a domino mask. For four, the dude had a motherfucking sword about as tall as you.
For five, you were stopped dead in your tracks by a spontaneously formed stone pillar.
Just like you said: things were fucked up.
This was both the official debut of Antaeus, the Earth's Mightiest Protector, and the premature end of your supervillain career. Naturally, you didn't have enough money to afford even a semi-decent lawyer, and your original plan of selling out everyone you knew didn't go so well (they already had both the shady guy, his boss and his boss' boss by the time you tried to make a deal), so they put behind bars faster than you could say illegal vigilantism.
[] You stayed low. Didn't make a peep. The last thing your attorney told you was to sit tight and pray for a parole. So you did just that. Grabbed a bunch of books and tried to educate yourself. By the time you finished War and Peace for the second time, you thought you were on to something.
[] You made connections. A friend here and there, and you were already the guy that knew a guy. By the end of your first year, you were probably one of the most influential people in jail, which didn't seem that good a thing in hindsight. Well, you at least had a few friends waiting you on the outside.
[] You found the toughest-looking person around the block and kicked the shit out of him. Then, you found a tougher-looking guy and you kicked the shit out of him, too. Rinse and repeat, and before you could even realize this, you were already the guy people searching for the toughest-looking person tried to kick the shit out of.
This was how your first year in prison came to an end.

This seems like the best bet for eventually having our own villain team.

Torn between booksmarts and connections here. The smarts are really important, but if you just can have somebody on speed dial that already got the smarts? And a beatstick? And a bunch of other people? Yeah, gonna go with that. (And it's not like education needs the vote.)

If we're going to be a criminal in the future, I think it helps a lot if we know someone that can provide us the things necessary to become one, maybe even get a little information on who's who and what's what in the criminal world, which would help us in the long run.

booksmarts are overrated, actually. Let's be the supervillain with the power of "being nice to waiters and knowing that janitors have the keys to every room in the building."
