[ WP ] You are a supervillain explaining how you are not actually evil .

Today one of my underlings told me how hard it is to fall. I promtly answered that falling is easy, you simply do n't stop at the edge of the cliff, just like the last 00-agent they sent. 
 
 That got me the usual ” please do n't kill me “ brand of nervous laughter, followed by an explanation on how he meant falling to villainy. I knew what he meant, of course, but he was one of the meatheads, so I allowed it. 
 
 He was wrong, you know. Falling to villainy is even easier that falling from the top of the vulcano, you simply, lose your focus. The day you think that the big picture is what you see in the mirror is the day you've fallen. 
 
 It's not about blowing up banks in London, firebombing offices on Wallstreet or kidnapping the children of world leaders, all of that is just frosting, making your cake look good. 
 
 You know why I became a villain at first? 
 
 The world was suffering. Pityful politicians, devilish dictators and evil economics, all running rampant. There was no focus, no clarity. Everyone was looking out for themselves, having nothing to unite them. 
 
 That first assassination was out of anger, I must admit, but it felt wonderful. More important; it got everyone's attention, good people and bad. They looked at me. They were worried. 
 
 Some was laughing after the first one, but only briefly. The next handfull of kills made everyone afraid, everyone was looking. And I was looking right back at them. 
 
 It soon dawned on me that I had found the one uniting factor that no human could deny; anger. I had to ride it, use it to unite the world in a common goal. 
 
 It took a while, building the organization, stealing the funding, hiring muscle, building a brand for myself. But was worth it. 
 
 In a world with no super heroes to deal with him, the super villain is everyone's problem. As long as I am here, they will be more busy fighting me than each other. And life has improved for everyone, well almost everyone... 
 
 So what if it costs someone a president every now and then? Most of the hostages are usually saved, especially the children. Very few normal people actually suffer harm when I strike, I am very adamant about that, you know. 
 
 I have never lost my focus! 
 
 I do have one big regret though. I should have found a like-minded companion to share my crimes with, having the meatheads and amoral scientists as my only conversation partners is really a chore in the long run. 
 
 And now I'm talking to my cat... great... I guess it's time to kidnap some more stimulating conversation, perhaps a nobel prize winner...
