Would you be a supervillain?

[TheMonotonePuppet]

If you obtained powers that would you make you an effective supervillain, would you become a supervillain?

If so, what kind would you be? Are you the type of person who just wants to try it out for shiitake mushrooms and giggles? Will you be a purposeful killer or torturer? The type who is only called a supervillain because the government is targeting you for any number of reasons?

If not, what, if anything, would break you or change you to becoming a supervillain? Be it torture, something that genuinely and inescapably makes you insane, being framed unfairly, family members killed, whatever. At what point is becoming a villain inevitable for you if you refuse the inclination at the start?

More a anti hero

 

[Woolen_Monkey]

Joke villain. Just their to throw poop at random citizens and heroes.

 

[Notadate]

It would take an uncountable amount of stuff to make me a villain. But a antihero, yeah

I see! So you’d get framed by the government as a terrorist and the first supervillain, being persecuted and hated by all, except for edgelords that will still like you despite the propaganda.
Even though you did nothing truly villainous.

 

[AnonUnlimited]

I'd just be rich and control the world. Reason I'm a villain is because it's my way or death.

So? I would get revenge. Why would I care if others hate me

 

[Nym]

Oh I’m a villain alright, just not a super one.
(I would maybe rob a bank and stop at that)

Wow. You become a more intense, committed villain very quickly after getting framed. Good to know!

Most likely. I would be very edgy, for fun and also to ruin most broadcast on me

Uh-hem antihero

Lol! Sounds fun!

I'd find a random hero and start bullying him. Wouldn't steal or destroy just endlessly fight this one guy alongside doing a bunch of petty stuff to him.

You’d be a super one if you used the powers that you would hypothetically get in this situation for your villainy. So you’d be a more serious villain regardless of these semantics though?

 

[Deleted member 113259]

Also wouldn't do anything to civilians or other heroes. Just him.

I love the sheer pettiness! Just beautiful! Another point for the villains upon being given powers.

Going for world domination right out of the gate. A regular ol’ overachiever we got here, aye?

 

[ThrillingHuman]

Maybe

If so, what kind would you be?

II always wanted to eat the rich. I heard it's good for economy

The only way this may happen is when I'm subservient to my master or mistress. At that point, I'll abandon everything and devote my entire being to that one person. However, things are unlikely to turn out that way since they have to earn my affection first, and I dislike harming people greatly.

I see. Are you sure that’s the only way? Because I would bet real good money that it isn’t.
Outside of the obvious (such as losing various body parts to torturers, losing family or friends, etc), there are ways to exploit your subservience to master or mistress. Mind control them subtly until they do turn out that way (and it will only appear like a gradual personality change rather than something that will make you aware something is wrong); holding your master or mistress hostage and threatening them with injury or death; having the government immediately kill or having the public form a mob to kill them; force them into never-ending debt that no amount of unpowered work will free them from; etc.
