Nobody really remembers when the first "superhero" came into being. As far as anybody can remember, they've just always been around. Super-powered individuals that exhibit abilities far beyond the norm and use their abilities to better the world around them through feats of heroism. Some of these heroes were born the way they were, a quirk of genetics gifting them with their powers, and some were created by secret experiments gone wrong (or gone right, depending on one's point of view). There are heroes that are extraterrestrials that came to Earth for reasons unknown to the public and those that are average men or women that fight crime despite their lack of super-powers.

There are a countless number and variety of heroes...and, of course, in answer to those heroes, there are an equal amount of villains.

Not everybody can be the good guy, fighting for truth, justice and the American (or European or African or whatever place they happen to be from) way. No, some people gained powers and decided they were gonna look out for number one. Because, hey, if you got super-powers or have the hyper-intelligence to create artificial super-power abilities somehow, might as well make some cash or take over the world with them, right? To do anything else is just boring, some would say. Not any of the innocent bystanders or the heroes that fight against villains, obviously, but other, equally villainous individuals would.

So there are heroes and there are villains, each fighting for what they believe or desire with all of their might. Locked in an eternal struggle of good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark and general niceness and all around asshole-ness, the heroes and villains of the world live their lives the way they believe they must. And, in this battle of good versus evil, you fall on the side of evil...technically.

You're a villain, a bad guy according to society (though maybe you don't think you're so bad, really), trying to live your life how you want. Maybe you're an escaped science experiment who lashes out at society due to your hideous mutations making you an outcast or maybe you're the scientist who made said horrible mutant because you dropped your tuna sandwich in your super-soldier formula by accident. Maybe you're a guy who happened upon a robotic suit of awesome and decided you were going to use it to smash the crap out of things because, c'mon, if you got a robot suit, why wouldn't you smash things? Maybe you're a shadowy kingpin of crime trying to be a puppetmaster of all the wrong-doing that goes on in the city you live in while you sit in your penthouse office and look out the picture windows in proper brooding fashion. Or maybe you're just a grunt who fell into villainy after dropping out of college because being a henchman offered pretty good benefits.

Whatever the case, you are a bad guy, as it were, and you live your life, day by day, trying to be the best bad guy you can be...or at least the bad guy that doesn't get thrown in prison or gets the crap kicked out of him by a hero too badly. You're the villain...but, hell, sometimes being the villain ain't easy. Not at all.

But you're going to try your best, at least. But, before you can try your best at anything, you gotta know what kind of villain you are. So who and/or what are you?
