I can't reveal that! I'd have to either kill you or go on a long-winded explanation detailing every possible weakness in my plot for some reason, and then kill you. Either way.

Let's just say it involves the polar icecaps, a hairdryer, and several thousand kilometres of extension cord. Muahaha! Tremble at the feet of Dr. Overly-Protracted!

A series of small but high-profile acts of sabotage, none of them dependent on each other, eventually causing all the world's governments to distrust each other, and all the world's people to distrust their governments. Human nature would take care of the rest.

I'd start havin' babies...

It would involve a lot of LSD, a sword cane, a few large and stupid hench men, and because I am a girl, a push up bra and thigh high black boots.

Make the earth spin off its axis and into the unknown.

HE SAID REALISTICALLY, unless you're secretly MAGNETO!

Who's saying she doesn't have magneto powers? SHE COULD SUCK THE IRON FROM YOUR BLOOD, YOU FOOL!

The first step is to make everyone jealous of one another, IMO.

gees mycroft- that's exactly it, which brings up the point of "why bother being a super-villan? it's happening already."

Ah, but the way of the supervillain is not "to bother" or "not to bother." Either one is, or one isn't. It's as simple as that.

But isn't it nice for the supervillains that the world is cooperating with them already? It's almost as if people want them to win...
