What villain group would you join?

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!

second me on this.  

[DreadShinobi]

knives of artemis. Most likely to stay invisible and not die while the hero team sweeps through your hideout and kills everyone else.

[TheOtherTed]

Malta Group, because you'll never have to worry about retirement.

[Glacier Peak]

Banished Pantheon...... band 😎

[Xenosone]

Freakshow. If you met me youd know why.

 

Hey redditors. Your downvotes mean nothing but your salty tears are great

[Six-Six]

Carnival... because no, I'm not a perv... and because bewbs... both female AND male ones

[Ukase]

I'd have to go with the Seers. All that data, compiled into information...and that means power!

Are you sure about that?  The lore paints the process of becoming a Seer to be extremely painful in a sense.  Having your emotions forcibly removed and brain implants that prevent you from acting on your own accord.  And you're aware the entire time but can't do anything about it.  I feel like being a Seer would be akin to being a psychic zombie.

Lore also covers that, as Subjugators are extremely powerful former Seers, physically deformed by their own abilities.

 

They're .... disconcerting.

All of them, with clones of the same character. Then with the inside information, pit the groups against each other, weeding out the weak.

Arachnos for the dental plan.

Useful because there's not much else left of you when they wire you into a spider.

 

How does a cyber-spider sit in a dentist's chair anyway? 🤔

[DoctorDitko]

Yeah, no body-mods to cram into a spider exoskeleton for me!

 

I guess I'd go Carnival of Shadows, though I might be swayed to the side of Carnival of Light.

[Black Talon]

Oh, man - I literally cannot think of a villain group that doesn't have a "total suck" point that makes it a "Who the hell would want to be a part of this crew of losers?", but I was considering this one, and looking over the membership's arguments (and numbers) allows me to feel safe in a crowd.  Carnival of Shadows, because there is no way I would turn down being able to look at and talk to killer (literally "killer") hot chicks on a daily basis, especially ones that seem so determined to show themselves off without restraint.  Sure, Vanessa DeVore is in league with a major league psychic vampire and the Carnival kills for fun, but being able to ask the Attendants, Jugglers and Fencers out for a date on a regular basis might make those last few weeks of life worth the trade-off.

So is being part of the Carnival, but people don't seem to mind that one...?

 

As for me, uh, maybe Coralax?  Not sure if that counts; I'd presumably have to be hybridized a la Barracuda.  But it doesn't sound like a bad gig, relative to a lot of the others.

Failing that, screw it, Devouring Earth.  It's another "you're basically a zombie" option, granted, but I'd rather be a zombie than a nazi or something.  And I admit, I've met fewer plants that annoy me than people.  So hey, let's all be embraced by the Hamidon.

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

Sky raiders + Gold Brickers = Sky Brickers, fallimg from Heaven and hitting the ground like a gold plated brick.

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

 

I would have to consider giving up playing City of Heroes.

But I don't have to worry. Homecoming would never "require" us to join a villain group.

[Zhym]

I see lots of love (well, lust) in this thread for the Carnies, but as a guy, I don't see a place for me there.  The only men in that group are the strongmen, and I doubt Vanessa lets them play with the women.  But even if she does, they look so pumped full of 'roids that I doubt they can, er, "perform" anyway. 

 

If I had to join a villain group, I'm guessing it would be Crey or Family.  AFAIK, neither would require pumping weird substances into my body, undergoing massive body mutilation, or getting turned into something mindless and/or monstrous.  The Luddites are also a strong choice, but they don't even carry cell phones!  I just don't see myself going completely low-tech (now I wonder if there's a possible AE story in a Luddite getting busted sneaking out of AE in the wee hours one morning...).

Pretty sure all the men involved with the Carnival (and by extension, the reason for the ladies' dress code) are made mindless thralls.  I don't think life is much better for the mask-twisted women either.

[Yomo Kimyata]

I've got a soft spot for a number of villain groups, but that doesn't necessarily mean I want to be a part of them.

[Dona Eis Requiem]

I guess I'd have to say Council if for no other reason than they have werewolves and vampires.

A pity they don't look like Louis and Lestat or any of the hotties from Underworld though... *sigh*

[Clave Dark 5]

Slag Golem, I like caves.  yes, even blue caves, so I am obviously a monster.

[Kismet Cowboy]

The Drudges! Sure, you have a weird melty wax face, but ferryin' souls for eternity? Tha's a noice stable job that is.

 

Alternatively, the Syndicate. If I'm going to be committing crimes I want to look as sharp and badass as possible why I do it.

[Lusiphur Malache]

The Wailers, those amphibian freakshows on steroids, they don't quit.  I hate fighting them and I bet you do too, that's why I want to be one.  Let me lay by the beach and not have anyone bother me.

Carnie Strongmen are not just mind-drones like the ladies, but flat-out reanimated corpses.  So yeah, you probably wouldn't enjoy the experience.
