Is this you? Only one way to find out
Take the testYour villain origin story
You don't do evil. You do scale. Where other villains have a lair, you have a campus with a cafeteria and a gym. You think in five-year plans, KPIs and "strategic synergies," and you are genuinely excellent at turning chaos into a functioning organization.
Your henchmen have dental coverage. Your doomsday device has a product roadmap. The world isn't afraid of you exactly; it just keeps signing your terms and conditions without reading them.
Your evil plan
Acquire every coffee shop in the city, then introduce a "premium membership" for oat milk. Next quarter: buy the hero's favorite gym and move the opening hours to 11am. By year three, you'll own the moon's naming rights and rebrand it "Moon+."
Your fatal weakness
Bureaucracy — your own. By the time the doomsday device clears legal, compliance and the brand team, the hero has already unplugged it. Also: you cannot resist a good quarterly report, even when it reveals your entire plan.
