Super-villain name and theme:
Doctor Inferno – A mystical ice-themed
villain. Probably use mainly magic, and say "Well it makes senes if
you've read Dante's Inferno" a lot when people point out he uses ice… though I suppose magic takes a lot of study. Maybe go more with the technology that he's bought and just pretend it's magic. Either way, ice theme!
Theme Appropriate equipment and henchmen:
Glacial blue robe of power, and probably
some sort of horned crown to look extra badass. Like I said, he'd use
magic, but it would be an ice-theme. Some sort of ice sceptre/mace would
be used in combat… or maybe a lance of some kind. They're pretty cool.
My inner cabal of henchman would be named
The Seven Deadlies, and each be named after a deadly sin, and
appropriately attired. After those seven the rest would be in black and
blue, and I shall call them my Imps. He'll have some sort of
underground temple of DOOM and be generally
awesome. His minions would get around using their magic/technology based imp wings on their uniforms, except for the seven and himself, all of whom would probably have something awesome to ride… like dragons… or robot dragons… or robot demon dragons!
Name one or more person(s) who have earned your hatred enough to be your arch:
I actually see him being more of a
career villain. He'd select individuals who he saw potential in but who
are squandering it, and then he'd try to kill them in ways that'd force
them to use their natural tallents to thwart him. He'd accept his role as
the antagonist and view it as his duty to urge the hero's to expand and
grow into better people. It wouldn't be about winning, it'd be the fact
that he gets paid to be totally badass-awesom.
…though that being said, there is only
one person who has EVER earned my true and unrelenting wrath, but I
wouldn't arch him because he's the kind of guy to turn around and take
it as a compliment. It'd also be far too tempting to just kill him and thus
earn the ire of the Guild itself.
