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...
[] [Sex] Male
[] [Sex] Female

Yes! You are the man who will bring a new order upon the world with your brilliance! All will see sheer genius of Doctor DOOM! Or they would, if Doctor Doom wasn't a trademark. It's a bit disappointing, as you had liked the sound of it; the inevitability of your arrival and eventual victory ringing through every syllable. But while you may be a villain, you would never infringe upon the intellectual property and protected brand of another. Not like that infuriating so called "protector of the city", who insists on referring to herself as Miss Fortune (a name which you refuse to use) despite demands to the contrary. No, to so callously infringe like that would be simply beneath you, like cheating on a test instead of using you amazing prowess to think up a similarly fitting epithet.
So you get to work. Doom is out, but with the aid of a trusty thesaurus you soon have a choice of excellent options...which you immediately find are also existing comic book characters. Doctor Fate. Doctor Destiny. Both. Taken. So you broaden your scope! A name to speak of the promise your inventions will bring! And they were all taken. Doctor Tomorrow (comic book character), Doctor Impossible (book character), Doctor Possible (from Kim Possible), Doctor Dread (Turn-of-the-century Reggae Producer).
A normal man would have despaired at this point, but instead you used your super intelligence to choose a name that would inspire equal parts awe and dread. Yes, you are DOCTOR DAYBREAK!
This name, which is clearly fearsome due to including the villainous idea of sundering something, but which also foretells how with your arrival everything will truly change from the night fog of mundanity that has smothered the world to the shining day of true brilliance, obviously speaks of your genius! You are not settling, for DOCTOR DAYBREAK is an unparalleled mind, who operates on such a level that mere mortals cannot even hope to comprehend his tastes.
But honestly, the name isn't that important. What is really important is your plan to take over A City (the first of a planned 26 futuristic cities to be built across the American Midwest, but B City stalled in the planning stages, leaving A City as the only fruit of that project). First A City, then the country, and then the world!
But first you need to finish planning your debut...
[] You will construct a suit of armor of unprecedented power, not merely protecting you, but augmenting your strength and even permitting flight! Using this suit, you will challenge and valiantly face the protector of the city on top of city hall! With her public defeat, the city's will to resist will collapse.
[] You will simply run for Mayor. The sheer brilliance of the scheme is there is no way for heroes to get in your way. And upon your victory the city will be yours!
[] You will use what resources you have to construct robotic soldiers...who will then go forth and raid the (insured against acts of supervillains) University labs for more resources, letting you create a robotic army to conquer the city with!
[] Several villains have fallen in the pursuit of their own designs on the city. You will use your knowledge of voltaic energies to reanimate them, and with their combined might you will take over the city's underworld to rule it from the shadows!
[] Using your genius you have constructed a theory that fortune and misfortune naturally balance out to zero. To test this, you will abduct a local reporter (who will otherwise not be harmed) on live television, and use their abduction to lure the obstinate hero into a series of deathtraps. The good fortune required to survive will demand balancing, and with the only other person present being the innocent reporter, the heroine will have no choice but to allow the misfortune fall upon herself!
