If you were either a superhero or supervillain, what would be your shtick?

Wait, does this mean Sinestro is gonna cream his pants?

Maybe if he was being choked by Hal.

The only thing stiff on Sinestro is his moustache

So then Wonder Woman is raping Sinestro?

I would leave Riddler-esque clues about my upcoming heists that, if solved, give away the entire plan.

Then commit a crime completely different and unrelated.

No it's just her acting out of her hatred of necks.

Three bombs left around the city labeled 1-20 but with some numbers that don't exist to cause panic.
They aren't timed, but I have a detonator that I threaten heroes with regularly. They wise up eventually that there are no more bombs. But there were never any working bombs to begin with.
Because all of my crimes would be harmless with a guise of extreme danger.

>Three
That was a mistake. I meant like 15 or something.

From his point of view, she is definitely making unwanted advances.

is being really negative a superpower?

Talking. A lot. Not like Spiderman and his jokes, just... Just a lot of talking.

Generally spook-themed professional villain. I'm admittedly not the creative type. What villains-by-trade usually do is rob banks, stores, and museums, with their unique thematic spins on the same basic crimes. I don't think looting the mummies from museums is especially lucrative, what else could I do?

Mine would be adhering fanatically to the maxim better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Trap people in a haunted house for ransom. Hero has to make their way through it.

Steal candy. Something with poisoned candy? Ransom for the antidote.

Psychic shit, idk.

I like the way you think. I was about to arrive to this conclusion myself. It feels stronger since someone else backs it up.

This'll make Halloween fun. Scarecrow had a good Halloween plan once; he treated pumpkins to give off his fear gas when exposed to high temperatures. You can see where this is going.

i would just want a quiet life

And a hand to hold?

My gimmick is that I'm a normal guy who pretends to be a super villain but all the super heroes know I'm no threat and that I'm just trying to get to know famous people. But jokes on them, I actually have super powers which I use to secretly be a petty thief and get away with it.

A handshake of carbon monoxide

That's great.

I really want to be a supervillain, but I don't really want to hurt anybody for the sake of it, you know? Sure, I'll fight my powered nemesis and his sidekicks/allies, I'll take some hostages, I'll put the heroes in deathtraps I know they can escape from and leave them there...I do have to look dangerous to keep things interesting, they can't know I'm not a threat. I'd cause a lot of property damage, I'm sure, but I don't care about that.

What hurts is that this is sincerely the only "career" I have any passion for or a drive to have, but it doesn't exist in real life. This isn't Venture Brothers.

I couldn't figure it what you were talking about, and then scrolled back up and and realized you addressed OP's question

Ops pic caused one hell of a derail.

He will spend so much time and money making haunted houses that the ransoms won't be worth it.

You probably have a point, but the thrill is what I really want.

Secondary services and Publicity

I would invest money in contacts, acting as a the manager and businessman of goons, mercenaries and evil geniuses for A+++ rich villains in need of help. Sell evil armory technology to some countries, gaining coverage and money laundering for my services. Find gaps and weaknesses in capes organization."Take care" of the crazy psychotic idiots who always spoil everything.

I would have a cool codename too, Like "The Hotline" and some stupid helmet with a black texugo. For good marketing

I'd be the first Superhero pornstar

So you'd be a time traveler?

>what would be your shtick?
Superdickery

ghost powers

>she has him by the neck
It's over, he's going to join that image featuring all the necks Wonder Woman has snapped.

This is the best answer

>fetish-themed super villain
>my power would be the ability to manipulate people's sexuality on every level - their orientation. their sex drive. their fetishes. I could give and take them away as I please
>each henchman of mine would get assigned a kink (which they'll have labeled on their t-shirt or something) that they'll have to make into their own unique gimmick
>most crimes will involve investing in (or stealing) advanced super-science gadgets that could help make impossible fetishes a reality
>my base of operations would be on some uncharted island that will become basically the Disney World of sexual degeneracy

I would be that villain that is so harmless it makes everyone around him smile.

>being this much of a virgin.
Even on Sup Forums, this is remarkable.

Music+Crowd Control

I would sing and dance and use that as a form of energy to beat up thugs, who i would then convert into back-up dances. No matter the song/beat its extremely easy for allies to get the rhythm matched to their fighting style.
At my peak I could become near god like, put that requires nearly an entire planets worth of swinging, groovy, rockin' support.

I'M A GOOFY GOOBER! *ROCK*

I'd be a global super villain and only look like I'm killing people but in reality I'm trying to unite mankind against a common threat.

I'd be so pedantic as to debilitate others

This is what first comes to mind.

A hero would save me from some lab that was experimenting on people, I'd be one of the 3-5 people left alive.

I'd get stronger but progressively less human as I eat people. I'd probably eventually get killed, probably by getting in a fight with the hero that saved me, we'd both get injured and the fight would end up temporarily stopped, I'd eat something poisionous/radioactive etc. but it wouldn't kill me quickly and the hero would be forced to end my life as a mercy kill because I have no future.

I´d be called the naked gun. I would go around jizzing on people, but since comics are censored for children, they´d have to blur my picture, giving me invisibility powers.

Mostly haunted voodoo dolls and shit, ive gotta lot of toys in here.

I'd have super sleeping powers.

I'd have the ability to negate any telepath' abilities, at any level (fuck you Jean Grey). I'd also have invincibility in the form of extreme luck which would apply to small groups/family with me. So I'd be that one civilian who appears at random points in the background that always manages to not get fucked up.

Hello Larry

That's Music Meister if he was a good guy.

What is it with Silver Age Superman's fetish for denying people water? He does it in three fucking covers.

That's Longshot if he wasn't handsome or cool.

My catchphrase would be "Now that's what I call a sticky situation!"

>approved by The Comic's Code
I love that they support Superdickery

Superman's allowed to BE a right cunt, as long as they don't say the word "cunt" or show one.

The first issue probably sold really well for whatever reason so they decided to repeat the stunt.

Same reason why there are so many covers / issues about monkeys.

I'd be an actual cop, but with super strength and no costumed alter-ego. Be able to do things like rip a jail cell door off the hinges with some effort or flip a car over and push it as mobile cover..

My shtick would be to create minions. Not the fucking yellow tictacs but respectable evil guys that are disposable and not real people.

That I dress up in various historical gear to do pointless evil stunts. Like sending a bunch of Spartans to raid a Nike store. Or a bunch of Maccabees to rob a bank.

They don't give me any of the money or interact with me aside from creation and so I can never be caught.

>They don't give me any of the money or interact with me aside from creation and so I can never be caught.

I'm not sure that counts as a minion anymore.

question man. I'd ask questions to a hero, and when he ignored me, I'd go riddler on his ass, while proclaiming i just wanted to talk, and ignoring that saving civilians is more important.
So, more autistic riddler i guess

I'd be a guy who doesn't pull schemes of his own, but helps low-level supervillains out of pity. I'd operate in the 90s, when more superheroes were violent amoral jerks.

It always bugs me when superheroes actually refer to themselves as heroes, or call petty street criminals things like "vermin" and "scum". I think it's a good general life rule that those most convinced of their own superiority and righteousness shouldn't be trusted.

Not sure what powers I'd have, though. Probably something versatile and not inherently violent, like teleportation.

>implying you wouldn't get season tickets.

I would be a Batman villain with a Sup Forums motif. I would kidnap writers and artists to write stuff that I want, kill writers and artists I don't like, steal stuff like the first Superman comic or Adam Wests batmobile, imitate robberies from old action cartoons, try really hard to pull zany Looney Tunes style campaings of annoyance against heroes. Stuff like that.
