I wanted to be Doctor Doom. Supervillainry is not all it's cracked up to be. Enjoyment is diminished with the loss of too much sleep. Studying physics is the best part.
Mostly, I think, I did not come close to being Doctor Doom, because I could not obtain something which cannot exist. I've come as close as I can, within the limits of reality. Pursuit of total power is too exhausting.
Wow! Way to aim high! If you're going to be a villain might as well be one with his own country.
I think I picked a villain, not because I wanted to be bad, but because they always seemed to be the ones with more freedom. If you are superintelligent, and superpowerful, why should you call anyone else 'authority'?
Interesting take. Makes sense. Villain away!
It might be the reason for the anti-hero, but when I was seven, I didn't know such a thing existed.
Of course not. You just thought they were cool and free. And you were right!
