Jon's Helpful Hints For Supervillains
Sep. 18th, 2003 01:10 pm1. Start small; if you've never successfully robbed a bank, you're not up for world domination yet.
2. Do not get the heroes angry. Anger doesn't cloud their judgment, it just makes it more likely they'll hurt you badly.
3. You are not smarter than Batman. Keep telling yourself this until you believe it.
4. You are also not stronger than Superman.
5. Preserve your secret identity as long as possible. If they're looking for the Eviscerator, they won't be looking for Jeff Johnson, mild-mannered scientist.
6. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Very cold. When ElectroCorp's buildings start blowing up, the first thing they check is the list of disgruntled former employees.
7. Do not explain your powers. Many heroes are smart enough to figure out how to neutralize them.
8. Also, don't announce what you're about to do in combat.
9. Act like you have scruples. That way the heroes will be more likely to make deals.
10. Lie.
