What villain group would you join?

[KaizenSoze]

If you were required to join a COX villain group as a member. Which one and why?

 

For me, Carnival of Shadows, they just want to have fun!

 

Love their whole costume theme, very different from most of the groups.

Crey.  Hopefully they match on the 401k.  Hopefully I'll live long enough to see it with all the heroes coming through.

[Hew]

Since 98+% of my chars are ladies, looking stylish is definitely high on their concerns as a Super Villain. Who wants to be defeated by The Brown Blob? Even if you are just a bunch of flashy crystals embedded in rock with some auras and whatnot, the Carnival gals can CERTAINLY find a way to glam you with authority and power respective of a true villain.

 

[roleki]

Devouring Earth.  Who wouldn't want to spend all day at the beach?

[The_Warpact]

Luddites...you know those guys just sit around drink beer, and do 'shrooms.

[ZemX]

Rogue Isle Villains!

 

Yes, they are a "group".  You can look it up.  It's like an NPC VG in game.  Any unique super villain would fit right in. 

 

C'mon!  Misadventure? Sardonic?  Bad Penny?  These guys are great!  And they've each got their own style.  They're not just some bunch of expendable minions all wearing the same outfits!

[Coyotedancer]

Hmm. I have no personal talent for magic and my ancestors were definitely NOT Mu, so I'd probably be pretty safe from body-snatching... So, I could imagine actually putting my academic background to some practical use and hanging around with the Circle as an anthropological thing. Do some field work, observe some rituals, interview some mages, publish a few ethnographic and linguistic studies... Maybe try to find ways to prevent some of those "We're going to invade your home and steal your stuff!"/"Well, *we're* going to feed your soul to our demons!"-type conflicts.

 

It could be fun. In a very nerdy getting-my-social-mad-science-on kind of way.

[BZRKR]

Assuming that when you say "you", that means that we would only have the super powers we already have (😉), I'd choose one of the following:

 

Gold Brickers - Jet Packs, Fancy Guns, Chocolate Factory.

Sky Raiders - Who wouldn't want to see what it's like to be a Porter?

Arachnos - An industrious person could get promoted into the Crab Spiders, Marshal, or even Arbiter.

 

[MrAxe]

The Council. Imagine how rich I'd get from all those parking tickets.

[Apparition]

The biggest, most villainous group of them all.

 

Longbow.

 

They have the saps in Paragon City fooled, but not the good citizens of the Rogue Isles.  They use flamethrowers.  Flamethrowers!

[cranebump]

The Rippers. I just love getting my face kicked in.:-)

 

I guess it'd be Arachnos, but that's assuming this "me" is some other, more ruthless version of "me." The real me would probably be Legacy Chain, because I assume they play D&D on the weekends.:-)

[InvaderStych]

I'd like to think that Paragon me would be some sort of Steve-McQueen-Does-James-Bond-esque teleporting Gunslinger based EB/AV leading my shadowy Malta cell on missions in the hottest of hot zones around the Cities ....

 

... but most likely I'd wind up crashing Carnival warehouse parties with my Hellion buddies, hopelessly smitten with some demonic entity posing as a "girlfriend."

Also, you get your own tv show.

 

[Chrono-Bot]

I assume I would already be dead so I'll be a Shivan.

[TheZag]

Spetsnaz Commandos.

 

Heroes wear their underwear on the outside.

 

Villians go commando.

I've joined most of them.  I have Freakshow Recruiter, Skull Girlfriend, Outcast Recruiter, and many more.  If you see a low level character that is part of a villain group it is probably  me.

[Cobalt Arachne]

Longbo-hahaha! Can't say that one with a straight face.

Arachnos. 😎

[Techwright]

organization and efficiency appeal to my darker side, so maybe:

Malta - though the chance to end up as the central nervous system of a robot doesn't have a lot of appeal.  Gunslinger sounds pretty good, though.

Sky Raiders - if it weren't for that popinjay with captain's bars, they could be a serious threat.  Duray may be paranoid crazy, but he does inspire loyalty and efficiency.

Gold Brickers

[ZorkNemesis]

So long as you're not volunteered for the Tarantula program and aren't a psychic, Arachnos honestly doesn't seem like a bad gig.  Being a Wolf Spider seems like a decent job and supposedly Lord Recluse pays his minions quite well so long as they remain loyal to the cause.

Wasn't there in game dialogue of an Arachnos soldier talking about how good the dental plan was? 

[Bill Z Bubba]

As a devil, it seems like only The Circle want to talk to me, but if I were allowed to choose? I'd also probably go Devouring Earth. I mean... humanity IS the biggest problem on the planet after all.

[Aurora_Girl]

Hmmmmm. A real chin-stroker here. 

 

Clearly the first choice is Vanessa's clique, because duh. Buuuuuut, then again, hobnobbing with Belladonna does provide its own set of perks, provided I could get her to crack a smile now and then. 

 

Can I choose Carnival of Widows? Because I choose Carnival of Widows. 

[A Cat]

I'm pretty sure you get your soul sucked out though in the carnies.

They could try, and it would be amusing, but I ain't got no soul to suck!

[TraumaTrain]

Goldbrickers.

 

The jetpacks and sonic weapons, yes.... but those pants!
