Villian or Hero?

[EVILNess]

I was browsing another thread about super powered humans, and I started thinking, "If I had powers, I would so be a super villian..."

But that discussion was a little more serious so I brought it here.

So I pose the question of you...

Villian or Hero? And why.

Remember Content is 80% of your grade, but you will also be graded on spelling and puncuation. But don't worry, oyu get 200 poinst just for answering the question.


Anyway, I would be a villian for these 3 reasons:
1. Super heroes get paid nothing. Look at Spider-man. He is FUCKING POOR.
Spider-man is awesopme and all, but damnit I want money and power.
2. I get to do the villian laugh. I mean come on, the villian laugh is the pope hat of villianry.
3. The world needs more super villains with exorbant and inane plots and less serial killers and rapists.

[Nique]

I'd rather have Doc Doom than pedophiles, sure. But I'd want Heros like Batman even more ^_^

Hero.

I couldn't cut it as a villain - and not ALL heros are poor. Mr. Fantastic lives in a skyscraper w/ his gorgeous wife. But I'd rather always win the fight against the other guy anyway -nah-nah!

[Living Bobbeh]

I would definetly be a Super-Hero because they:
A) More often than not have cooler/more AWESOME Super-Powers.
B) Get the Girl.
C) Always win.

[VA_Ninja]

I have no idea on which I would take. Maybe I could do justice-y things with evil intentions, such as stopping bank robbers but grab a sack o' money for myself.

But I think it would more relly on what kind of superpowers I had. Being able to summon vast amounts of energy from the Chaos of the Netherealm would tilt me over to the supervillian side more then say, the ability to heal any wound or disease.

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

more than likely, i'd be a vigilante or a mercinary. "have eye lasers, will travel" so i guess whoever was hiring me would determine if i was doing things for good or for awsome.

[PyrosNine]

I'd be a hero, despite my love of wanton destruction by the devine flame. Burn! Burrrn!
BURRRRN!

Lex Luthor? The Joker? KingPin? Green Goblin? Feh, they can all just burn. In their sleep. As their mansions/hideouts are locked bolted shut. And filled with gasoline. And I'd have a flying car made out of fire. It'd be smokin'

[phil_]

There are actually three choices. I know I'd never be a hero, so my powers would determine whether I became a villain or just kept rolling with my current life. Like VANinja, if I got something like laser eye-beams or super strength, then I'd be a super villain. If I got a travel power, or a passive power (better sight, regeneration, healing), or something that didn't give me a significant combat advantage, then I'd probably just keep my current role as a theatre slave.

Teleporting and multi-form would really help as a theatre slave.

[Lockeownzj00]

Well, I don't think we can apply the "always win" logic here. That's thinking in quite the linear way. That's a fictional entertainment phenomena--I suppose, realistically (not even just to be fair--as most things are in the world), there would be good super heroes and bad superheroes (in the sense that they suck at it), and they couldn't "god mod" or be impervious, etc.

I like messing around as a villain in games, but I always feel a pang of guilt--mind you, my moral compass is very different; some things I find totally normal to ignore/not do/or do for that matter, others may not. But for general just wanton killing, or screwing someone over in need of help, I just couldn't do it in real life. All-too-often I think, "what if it were me?" Not in the sense of returning the favor--that's about 50% bullshit. Just in the sense of, "I'm trapped in this well, and someone comes along, and keeps moving?" I'd be filled with despair, etc. I'm just naturally inclined to help, I suppose.

So yeah, I'd be a "super-hero." Or actually--I like what Deathosaurus Wrecks said: being a mercenary puts a lot more of a "chaotic good/neutral" spin on it, which I like. It means I *could* potentially work for the alleged "bad guys," but if I had any problem with it, at any moment I would easily betray them for what I felt was right.

[SageOfShadow]

Hmmm well if your a superhero, the police and government dont stand their shooting at you... HOWEVER! Wanton destruction is tempting as ever, but then i would have to start introducing myself in loong drawn out monologs... as you guys said earlier the power would lean me in one direction or the other... any massive destruction powers would tempt me to be good. Then when i blow the town a new one i wont have to "pay" for it because i saved them... but if i had invisiblity i would definity steal stuff... what else is that power good for then stuff you would need to be sneaky in? I mean i wouldnt go around the town invisible and chase robbers with my awsome invisible run of justice... but if i were evil i could have a lair, henchmen, a cat, evil laugh, maybe a facial scar here or there........

So therefore my alliance would be: Misdirected Hero who isnt really misdirected at all(thats just my cover!)

[Mashirosen]

It's V-I-L-L-A-I-N (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villain). People make that mistake all the time, and as it's the only typographical error that really makes me itch, I'm allowed to be a jerk about it.

Aside from pointlessly correcting people's spelling of a favorite word, my supervillainous activities include putting off making cupcakes and writing mean things in my notes about the loudmouthed tubby girl in my government class. Stop me if you dare, Batman!

[Cybren]

Neither.
I'd like to picture myself as Solidus Snake. "evil", but in the end, fighting for a noble cause. Though, I wouldn't like to do the whole killing little kids thing. That's not that nice.

[IHateMakingNames]

I would be a villain. Actually, I would use my power(s) to make my life better, but most people would view this as evil.

However, unless I am completely invunerable, and it is impossible to kill me, I wouldn't be a villain in public. I don't want to be feared and killable. So if I could, I would use my power(s) in secret (ex. mind control). If my power(s) can't be used in secret (ex. laser-beam eyes), then I would use it to get fame and fortune, which may include some 'good' acts.

If I was invunerable, I would go on a rampage if my power(s) are destructive. I'm not up to killing though, so I'd try to avoid that.

[Bob The Mercenary]

I'd usually go superhero, because I've always wanted to be one. But, lately it's been "villain all the way" with me.

But, I'd do other more dastardly stuff than rob a bank or hold up a jewelry store. I'd commit true acts of evil, like steal all of the doorknobs in the world. I mean what would you do if you woke up and found out that every doorknob in the world had gone missing? It would force the entire world to convert to push doors, and I would turn into the #1 supplier of push doors in the world.

Oh, but that's not the worst part. I would write "pull" on every door I sold. Zomg!

[EVILNess]

Oh, but that's not the worst part. I would write "pull" on every door I sold. Zomg!

Thats... thats...evil...

[CelesJessa]

The fun, joking side of me would be evil all the way. (in fact, at school, when we joke around in my group of friends, I'm the "evil overlordess" heheh ^^;; ) I'd get minions kissing my feet and walking of pins and needles just to make me happy. I could "employ" my own evil clothes designer to make me evil, yet awesome outfits. (it's not evil, really, but if I was evil overlordess I would get a door opener, and the only thing he would do all day is open and close the huge door to my huge palace all day, (even if nobody was coming) just... open... close... open... close. It's like chinese water torture... but... not exactly.) I would love being evil.

But... with me with my morals and everything... I would probably end up being a hero. ^^;;

[synkr0nized]

As I plan to manipulate the world, I would see villainy in my future.

But, really, I wouldn't normally want to be a hero for any reason. Not borrowing from existing storylines and the like, villainy still has a certain appeal. It allows you to only adhere to the morals and honours that you feel are worthwhile. You do not answer to any one else's guidelines or requests. You are free to gather power via whichever and whatever means are most appealing. You are free to be selfish (I am very selfish).

I would also argue that, in existing universes and stories, the villains have the better toys, powers, and lines. It's not normal to see several villains teaming up to fight one good guy, though the opposite is true. But that's all make believe.

Good villains ("good" is an adjective, people, not a state, here) are engrained within society enough that they can't just be "beaten" and locked away. I'm not talking "hold the world hostage for ransom money" villainry. Destruction of everything and authoritarian control of the world are trite and meaningless, especially the former. I will have my hand in many different affairs and sway the populace when needed. I suppose I am leaving myself free to alter my agenda by not explicitly stating anything here.

Many of the best villains don't even need super powers. So, if I am already pursuing my interests and, on top of the success I will have via my clever manipulations and dealings or what have you, I have powers and abilities above those of normal human beings, I see no reason to ever choose to be a super hero.

[HRslammR]

i'd be a hero, b/c i know that when the great cosmic shit hits the fan, i'd do what i could to make sure the "good" side won. i'm a pacificist and wouldn't deliberately kill people just for my own villianous purposes. even if i don't get any respect or admiration, i'd still know what i'm doing what's the right thing.

this is of course excluding all "gray" areas of social issues and etc.

plus i've already created a superhero who'd rock. random: i think BM for all his evil-ness is still not a bad dude at his core.

[Lockeownzj00]

But, really, I wouldn't normally want to be a hero for any reason. Not borrowing from existing storylines and the like, villainy still has a certain appeal. It allows you to only adhere to the morals and honours that you feel are worthwhile.

Like I said in my post, though, chaotic good might be ideal. And even if I *were* a superhero, fully, I would have no objectivist, religious doctrine to abide to--I'm not a masochist ;)

Although I'm totally with you about subtly influencing the massively ignorant populace--that seriously rocks. Cunning > everything else.

[Azisien]

I'd start out as a hero. But through helping countless people, and during those experiences getting to know first-hand how retarded humanity is, I would begin to warp.

And the warping would continue. I'd lay in my bed at night and I'd think nasty thoughts. "So what if I burned down that orphanage?" I'd say to myself. "Man, that garbage man was a retard." Eventually my cat would stop coming over for petting because I'd talk to myself so much.

And then sanity goes to instability which proceeds to full-fledged insanity. Then I'd be a villain I guess. I'd go on rampages. I'd use my powers and manipulate objects and people for my personal gain. I would kill those that piss me off and those that try to stop me. I have never been much of a world dominator, so I wouldn't quite be a SUPERvillain. I would make sure I am secure, probably with an orbital or moon base of some kind. I would order governments to stop being retarded and bow down to all that is logical. And they would call me evil, and I would laugh my evil laugh and I would call them retarded (because they are).

I would continue to play video games of course, no doubt through a very powerful wireless internet connection from my orbital/moon base. And I would blow up the buildings related to poor game developers. I would play favorites and be nasty and evil. Not too nasty though. I wouldn't kill kids, and I wouldn't hit dames...much. I've never been one for torture, and I don't really like horrifying displays of graphic violence. I'd give my victims a choice, one chance: Give me what I want or I throw you into my singularity machine! Bwahahaha! Yes, I hope to have manipulation over gravity, my favorite of nature's laws. If I have to destroy a city, I'd much prefer throwing a black hole at it. I would call myself Gravneto. School kids would make fun of me and there would be commercials on television that teased at my idiotic name.

I would curse them! I would shake my fist in the general direction of their continent atop my gleaming ivory tower on the Moon. I would wish I brought more oxygen and less ivory, and I would mourn the now existinct elephants. After fifteen minutes of mourning I would feel better, but I would continue to curse the school kids especially. They know I wouldn't harm them, because for some odd reason Gravneto isn't entirely merciless.

But then something would toss me over the edge. Something like a bad commercial. In fact I can almost gauruntee to you right now a very bad commercial would drive Gravneto into a psychotic rage atop his ivory tower with digital cable (very long cable it is, Gravneto thinks satellites are stupid). He thinks they are SO stupid, that he begins bombarding Earth with their own satellites. He curses plasma for destroying most of the satellites before they struck the pathetic human cities with their bad commercials and laughing school kids.

I'd laugh when the pathetic heroes of Earth tried to harm me while I bombard their useless planet using my gravitational powers. I'd laugh as some of them tried to build contraptions that make no actual sense in reality and blew up in their faces (killing them of course). I'd laugh when some of them challenged me to an ultimate duel in Earth's atmosphere and then neglected their spacesuit. I'd laugh as they suffocated and as the air bubbles forming in their bloodstreams from vaccuum exposure finally did them in. I'd laugh as I piled them into a massive ball of dead hero corpses and I would name it a superball. I would hurl said ball at one hundred gees towards the Earth and curse it's pathetic atmosphere once more for burning up the weak superhero flesh. I'd laugh at myself, no doubt in a mirror, for hurling them so fast and compressing their former bodies into fleshy pancakes that rained down onto those bastard school kids who finally stopped laughing and started crying because it was raining superhero.

I'd continue to laugh until my eyes started to bulge out and veins formed in my head where they shouldn't form. I'd draw asteroids from the asteroid belt with my powers and I would begin a slow, torturous bombardment of Earth. I would use Google to find a city at random and then use my powers to hurl an asteroid at it at mach 10. I would laugh pointlessly in the vaccum of space where laughing didn't even work anyway and I would grow tired of bombing Earth after several years.

The laughing gets worse and soon I come to the realization that I've been laughing for the past decade. Why can't I stop laughing?! This is ridiculous! Naturally, I blame the school kids, and make the assumption that school kids even exist on the pathetic planet known as Earth. While laughing I come across theoretical cosmology books and I read them and I realize how insignificant we all are. In my laughter I doom humanity to insignificance forever and finish the job. I tear Mars out of its pathetic orbit and send it hurtling at the pathetic planet known as "Earth" by the humans.

I laugh my incredulous laugh as I watch Mars and Earth annihilate themselves from my spectacular vantage point on the Moon. I quickly use my gravitational powers to escape, of course, knowing the Moon would soon be destroyed as well. I use my powers to propel myself to near light speeds and spend some time laughing my way around the solar system. I get lonely. I start to feel guilty. I. Stop. Laughing.

I cry. I cry for almost a month, and my eyes bleed for 29 days because I cried so long! But wait, what if someone survived? I call myself a fool at first, but then I remember all those books and movies about humanity creating Sleeper spaceships and Colony ships and leaving the planet if the Earth was ever destroyed. Surely during my decade-long bombardment of Earth they would have considered and constructed such a spaceship. Surely, I tell myself somewhere between where Mars should have been and a rather large asteroid I named Alfonso.

I use my mode of transportation to go back to Earth, or rather Ears, or rather what is left of Ears. And I tell myself how stupid I am for trying to search through cosmic debris. Talk about a needle in a haystack! I damn near start laughing again, but then I remember back to the old days and I stifle it. I give up my search after about three days and take a quick trip to Venus to decide what I'll do next. I contemplate my existence on the pathetic planet named Venus. I begin meditating in an attempt to amplify my powers and after several years I gain a sixth-sense, a gravity sense! By this time I am so ruthlessly villainous and corrupt, even Hitler would vomit in my presence. Whether that was from the evil, or the horrid amounts of sulphur on me from my years of meditation on Venus, well, that depends on who you ask. Using my gravity sense, I would find the Sleeper Ship of the pathetic humans! Yes! It did exist! I knew humanity would be selfish and retarded enough to think they could somehow survive the destruction of their native and pathetic planet!

I board their snoring ship and murder those that are awake with my singularity blasts. I take some time looking at their course trajectory. Alpha Centauri, eh! They want Alpha Centauri?! I'LL GIVE THEM ALPHA CENTAURI!!!! I would say, and I would use my interstellar gravitational powers to draw Alpha Centauri towards Sol. The sensors on the pathetic human ship would blare and scream as the two stellar bodies hurtled at 99.999999999999c towards each other. I would laugh then, I would laugh so loud it would heat up the air and awake the pathetic humans from their pathetic cryogenic sleep so they could witness their last moments as Sol and Alpha Centauri collided, creating the most brilliant explosion this solar system would ever experience. I would laugh even in my last moments and channel all of my power to create a quantum wormhole and tunnel myself to the edge of the universe. And I would laugh as I forced the expansion of space itself to a grinding halt, and then to a decrease. And I would laugh as entire galaxies were obliterated in the squeeze and the whole universe shrunk into a pathetic cosmic nugget. I create a massive super black hole containing the entire material universe and I laugh as the pathetic D-branes that brought this pathetic universe into existence begin collapsing and imploding on each other due to the shear ultracosmic gravitational forces. And the whole multiverse would be caught in a vicious downward spiral of destructive chain reactions!

And that, THAT, is why I would be a villain.

[adamark]

Hero.

Although I'm sure most of my actions would be deemed "evil" by the liberal, relativist masses. That's doughnuts for you.

[Sanacra]

Hmm. I'm not sure what you'd call what I'd be if I were to have super-powers. I would make it my mission to prevent the collateral damage so commonly caused by the typical super-fight. Preferably, my powers would be something along the lines of creating variably-sized Otiluke's Resiliant spheres, or pocket universes in which super-fights could be...fought...without risk of collateral damage. After establishing my skill in the area of damage-prevention, I would (attempt to) strike a deal with insurance companies, in which I would be paid a flat fee for preventing a super-fight in the area of that company's clients, for each building which might reasonably have sustained damage.(I would get nothing in the event that a building were damaged before I intervened) This fee would be less than the amount they would have had to pay if their clients' property had been destroyed.

Also, depending on the exact nature of my powers, I would accept contracts from superheros/villains wishing to set up a fight pre-designed to their liking, but I would be sure to establish a reputation for being able to defend myself, so as to prevent schemes to exploit my powers without paying me.

So yeah, I guess I'd be a super-opportunist. Unless I felt like doing something different that day. Whatever.

[RedScar]

I personly have to say that whatever powers I got would greatly affect my awanswer. If I could fly, you know I'm not really built for the hero sorta thing it still just a fist fight excpt I'm in the air.

If it's super strength then I'd probally never use it as I don't like to do bussiness that way but would us it for hleping my self.

It is was superspeed then, well that's just awasome. I won't become a Sonic but i would be a Shadow. I'd just use it for fun.

If it was invisbilty I would steal stuff probally. You know you have to make a living, this way is just easyier. And I can't belive this hasn't been mentioed for invisbilty but what about the locker room? If i could have no one see me I'd be in the girls locker room. And I know some of you other guys would do it too. Don't lie.

It Depends on the power.

[CheshireThief]

I would be a superhero in the eyes of the public, but to anyone who looked close enough, I'd really just be a super coward.

I would take the world by storm, flaunting my superpowers and telling the press how great I am for standing on the side of justice. When people heard my name, it would cause them to feel proud they were human. The tales of my exploits against evil would grow and evolve until, eventually, people would believe I did so many great things that, in fact, never took place at all.

The media would hype up some kind of great catastrophe that was only prevented from happening because I was present, generally weekly. They would ask me to give a speech, where I'd generally give generic advice along the lines of, "Well, I just happened to be there and the right thing had to be done. Kids, eat your vegetables, and you can grow up to be just like me! Justice always reigns supreme!" However, whatever event the media witnessed was most likely staged or a simple misconceived good deed due to their undying love for me.

Not that my powers weren't real or anything like that. I'd publicly display my powers whenever I felt necessary, so that I was at least credible as to calling myself a superhero. People would think I had way more powers than I actually did because I'd really only have one power. The only reason it gets noticed is because it's the only power that matters. My superpower would be the power to have whatever superpower was needed for the given situation. For showing off to the press, this would generally mean flashy powers like super speed or flight or perhaps even super strength. That's how it would seem, at least. In fact, it would be the power to give everyone present hallucinations to make them believe that's what was going on. Either way, for the purpose of impressing the people, it would work.

Whenever a major crisis would really happen (instead of being staged), I would somehow manage to not be there. Like if a group of terrorists were holding Chicago ransom, I would just happen to be in Cairo, saving the world from ancient mummies that have come back to life with their minds bent on revenge. If my arch-nemesis showed up in town, I'd be in Tokyo, saving the world from Godzilla. Nobody would ever catch on because they'd think the crisis I was "saving" the world from was at least as dire as the crisis currently going on. The media would put out ads that said, "Maybe next time!" or "If only these bad things didn't come in twos!"

Eventually, the guilt of knowing that I was a fraud would catch up with me. I'd go into a slump, refusing to publicly display my powers. I'd end up drinking my life away, telling everyone around me in a drunken stupor that I was a big fake. They'd all try to console me by saying things like, "What about that time you saved the world from Godzilla?" to which I'd respond by crying and trying to tell them that I never saved the world from Godzilla. This would cause everyone to think I had a drinking problem and needed psychiatric help because I was obviously forgetting very important events in life. Eventually, I would not manage to escape my arch-nemesis and make up a convincing story as to where I was and what I was saving, and said arch-nemesis would humiliate me in front of the entire world, but not killing me.

From that point on, everyone would think I was a big has-been and that I was nothing like the way I used to be. Some new hot-shot superhero would come along, and he'd save the day all the time. I would die lonely with no friends, probably by drinking myself to death. Such is the life of a celebrity superhero who never really does save the world. A few people would come to my funeral, and Fox may cover it in a brief ten-minute news segment, but nobody would really care. In ten years' time, my super-exploits would merely be a footnote in a middle school history book.

[Lockeownzj00]

I would use Google to find a city at random and then use my powers to hurl an asteroid at it at mach 10.

Hahaha--golden.

In other news:

da libraul meedja!!1

[Red Fighter 1073]

i would definetely be a villain. atleast in video games, i always have the urge to do the wrong thing. the evil thing. also, please do remember that the hero doesnt ALWAYS win.

and i couldnt resist..MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Skyshot]

I'd probably keep doing what I was doing, especially if I had powers I could keep unnoticed. Chances are, I'd use them just for my own convenience just like I do with everything else I have, such as slighty above average* math and language skills. They're not for evil or for good.

Exception: If my powers were more along the lines of Beast or the Thing, I'd go on a murder rampage.

*Nothing to do with SAAM.

[gurusloth]

If I got to pick my powers, then I'd probably be neither, as the powers I'd pick would be ones that would make me an assload of money so I wouldn't have to work anymore. Like being able to shoot a pressurized blast of high-quality crude oil out of my hands. Or the power to alter probability when gambling so I could win the lottery and whip ass at roulette.

If I didn't get to pick my powers, I guess it would depend on the powers, but I'd probably not be a hero, because it seems like a lot of work. The hero has to fight every issue/episode, but any given villain only has to show up once and a while. I'd try to be villainous towards people who deserve to get screwed, though.

[RedScar]

You know I've decied unless I'm practilly invinceible I never want to be a hero. I mean they always have to deal with all the villans. I mean the villans come looking for them as where unless it fits into the plotline(which does't exist in life) the hero doesn't look for the villan. Well unless you like a sucky unknow sorta hero.

[Chaotic Weirdo]

I have the will, but I just don't have the capacity for evil....


*gets mobbed by idiots*

Then again......

I do like blowing things up......


Yes, I would be evil. Just to see the idiots suffer. I must wreak havoc upon all those Media Zombies. I must cleanse the earth of their plauge!

[The_Bear]

No way I could be a villain. Hero all the way for me. Preferably with the power of time travel, even though it would always blow up in my face. "Well, I stopped Evil Overlord Dremont from ever being born and now I'm back in good ol....WHAT THE CHEESE? TERMITE OVERLORDS?!?!??!?!" On second thought, scratch that. Screwing with time never works out. My new superpower of preference teleportation.

But I wouldn't be one of those goody-goody Superman-esqe heroes. I would demand cash payment upfront before any heroic deeds go down. I would also voice my own opinions. I would join causes many would consider unethical, such as the the "Stop Complaining and Do Something About It" awareness program and the "Old People Shouldn't Drive" commision. Screw neutrality, I have my needs too! Some would love me, some would hate me, but average people need me to defeat the plethora of bad guys out there, so they really have no choice.

[Mimzula]

I would definetly be a villainess.
You have to love Villians like Malificent! She was dark evil and my favourite bad guy since I was 6yrs old. So If I were to be a bad guy, i'd so be her!

[Crodevillian Team]

I'd be a super-heroine's sidekick. In this regard, I'd never have to do much work at all ... my beautiful and talented super-heroine would deal with the majority of problems, and the only time I'd have to act is when she gets into trouble. Who is the only person able to rescue a super-hero in dire straits?

The sidekick, of course. In this sense, the sidekick is a totally integral part of the heroic process. Without them, heroes would surely die out. I'd also be used to provide witty banter and other forms of comic relief in tense situations. That is, naturally, in addition to wearing fantastic tights.

And then when I save her we'd do a lot of smoochin'. It's the best of all worlds, if you ask me.

[RedScar]

Crodevillian Team has topped us, plus think of the kinda sex superheros must have...

[EVILNess]

Crodevillian Team has topped us, plus think of the kinda sex superheros must have...

BAH! BAD BATMAN/ROBIN IMAGE!

Get it out of my brain!

GAH!

[Viktor Von Russia]

I've always been intrigued by Dr. Doom's thing. Rule a country with an iron fist, yet the citizens are (for the most part), happy. And my actions, be they hero-y or villainous, would depend on what's best for my country.

[synkr0nized]

On second thought, I'd just do whatever held my entertainment longest and then switch around to different things. I mean, I'd be the one with the powers, right? I may enjoy doing some good just as much as some bad, and I would still be free to satisfy my own selfish wants and desires.

Though I'll still work on manipulating world politics/populations.

[Danath]

I would be.....an anti hero/vigilante like batman or the punisher

that way i could run under my own moral compass but i dont have to be truly lawful I could slip to the side of evil just so i could get the job done. Id still have super powers and would use them as needed as well.

but really neutrality is a fun way to go YAY.

[Premmy]

I'd be a hero, with a terrible mean streak, I would go off on the least little thing.
If a mosquito bit me a city block would be encased in ice.I'd give innocent bystanders frostbite just to see them jump and when police come to get me, I'd say,"I just save the freaking world from aliens by freezing their engines, I do whatever the hell I want.
Besides, what are you gonna do?"

[Cloud Strife]

I'd say I'd be one of those brooding heroes. Y'know, one of those heroes who's always disappointed with the state of the world, tends to take the world's burdens on his shoulders, maybe failed to save someone once and is now trying to make up for it. Seems weird, I know. I can't see myself being a villain, though. I just can't.

[Colak]

I'd be a villian cause villians ALWAYS look cooler and they also ALWAYS have the cool gadgets. Yeah batman has cool toys but COME ON. Does batman have a disentegrater ray? I don't think so. Besides you'd get to do all the immoral stuff little boys have dreamed of. CLOAKING devices. And i hate tights. I don't even wear jeans cause they restrict movement to much for my likeing. I wear cargo pants that allow for full range of movement with NO resistance.

[Lycanthrope]

I'd be the super-slacker. You know, a kind of good samaritan when necessary, you know. If I see an old lady being mugged on the street, I'd intervene, but no mask or costume, you know just an average guy on the street... who just happens to have super-powers.

[Fuzzydoom]

I think I'd have to be a villian. Not for the sake of making money or power, but just to prove how utterly badass I am. I would beat the hell out of any hero I come across and become known as the most bad-ass dude in the world. Then I'd do my little awesomely-bad-ass-dude dance and go live on some tiny Island somewhere.

[Colak]

And then i'd zap your island to sub-atomic particles with my disentegrator ray then dump my garbage where you and your island used to be :p

[ElfLad]

I'd never be a villain. Sure, it's fun to talk about it, but I could never bring myself to do the whole "evil" thing.

It depends on my powers. If I have passive powers (i.e. teleportation, flight, superspeed), I'd just be as regular as I could be. Well... basically, I wouldn't be a hero unless I had invinci-powers. I'm a coward that way.

What does being evil have to do with killing people? I mean, a smart villain would generally follow most laws, as long as it keeps people off their backs. Destruction without reason shows either insanity or masochism. A really good villain would most likely be well liked, look great, and have millions of people under their charms. Or, they could own a large corporation *coughMicrosoftcough* and just be trying to take over the market. I see no one running off to fight EA games every time they purchase exclusive rights to something. In fact, some people consider EA games, Microsoft or Hitler as heros. I mean, who is to say what villainy is, when human-kind can't make up their minds about good and evil? If I were to attain superpowers, therefore, I would work to the benefit of my family and self.

[Pixie]

I want to be evil. The evil girls are always so much sexier and skimpier clothes. Plus, they get to seduce all the guys and get away with it.

[Dante]

I'd be evil. As in I wouldn;t let morality get in the way of what i wanted. I'd be good to my friends and butcher all my enemies. Yeah.

[Fundokiller]

Revolutionary-style villain kinda like magneto but different powers and such

[Fifthfiend]

Totally villein.

There's just something I've always found appealing about feudal serfdom.

[VeryGnawty]

None of the above. I don't believe in good or evil. I'd just do whatever the hell I wanted to do, such as protecting the people I respect the most.

Well, depends how you'd view me... I think I'd play the Doctor Doom role. Y'know, he'll pursue you to the ends of the earth if you harm a SINGLE FUXING LATVERIAN, and schemes to take over the world because he honestly believes that the world needs a leader. If less familiar with Dr. Victor, Ras 'al Ghul; the world needs someone to administer justice, and he's not going to trust anyone else with the task. (Irrelevant comic sub-note... why couldn't The Detective have caved and married Talia? You get a chance at happiness, power, the knowledge that someone who was your enemy admitted you might be right, and gave you the chance to show him what he was doing wrong, but no, Mr. Wayne, you said "...but you kill people. No deal." YOU'RE SHARPER THAN THAT, BRUCIE!)

Of course, this is kinda dependent on me having psi-style/magic-style powers. Given combat powers, I'd end up more along the lines of a superhero hunting supervillains.

Look, here's the thing - and remember this because it may well one day save your life - but if a girl you've known for like five fuckin' minutes starts calling you "beloved," I don't care how hot she is, you get the fuck out of there.

Especially if she has, like, really obvious Daddy issues.

[Nikose Tyris]

I'd have to be the super hero, for three reasons:
1. there's no superhero that get's the DAMN JOB DONE RIGHT the first time. it's always, "I'll save you while your hanging from the cliff!" bah. stomp his hand and be done with him!
2. I have no ethics. therefore, I am unsuited for the villian self examination areas that are required. like, there's no sense of, "Am I truely evil, or searching for good through evil means?" I'd totally kill those bastards.
3. I get the hot chick. I don't care if she has daddy issues.

[Cloaked_Figure]

I don't know man. I think I'd be a bit of both. I would disregard the law, but i wouldn't be a villain. I wouldn't do any stereo typical villain things.. except maybe world domination, kill those asses at my school, and beat up who i want.. Then id use my super powers to be a guitar hero.. like Kirk Hammet, or Alexi Laiho.. I'd play the thrashiest thrash metal ever.. OH and I'd knock off the government.. set up something a little more honest.. like.. WORLD DOMINATION ^^; I'd let system of a down rule Canada.. and Metallica have the states and england.. Children of Bodom could have Finland and I'd take Ireland..

[Rev II]

In one sense, I would be a hero - because I would definately put some serious hurt on some really bad people if I had superpowers. There is no doubt in my mind about this. As a general rule, I'm not much on things like morals and honor, there are some things I care about, like protecting children and fiery-death directed at rapists and serial killers. Maybe, just maybe, my vigilante heroism might even keep people from looking too closely at my random bouts of hayhem and havok-wreaking. Probably not, though. Historically, the human race has always been quick to forget the good a person does, and never let go ov the part where they blow up random stuff... but let's face it, it's fun to blow stuff, and there's no way I could resist using my super powers on the odd abandoned car or random tree. In the end, i would do a lot of good, which may or may not balance out the damage I would cause, but I would ultimately be considered by the mainstream media to be a villain.
