What do supervillains do when they aren't... supervillaining? Heroes get to have secret identities and normal lives, but villains like Two-Face, Ivy, or Killer Frost? They can't really do normal things, like go out and buy groceries or have permanant homes, because everyone will immediately identify them. Some of them are metas who can't even live near normal people.


Do they just hole up somewhere and have a lackey bring them sandwiches until they flip out and get themselves put in jail? Go from safehouse to safehouse living off what they can steal? Do they have hobbies? Guys like Penguin gat least have a day job to support themselves, but not everyone is an organized crime boss.

they just plot their next attack or how to escape from jail the next time they get caught.
>>
>>92711677
I remember seeing a panel of of supervillan getting out of jail and the support structure of the other supervillians helping him out. Wish I could remember who it was, I almost want to say Captain Cold, but that doesn't seem quite right. I distinctly remember a woman in it.

>>92711696
That sounds miserable. So they're basically all NEETs that throw Chris-chan tantrums?
>>
>>92711677
They're like homeless people. They commit crimes in order to be put in jail. Where they'll get a bed, clothes, shelter, food, showers, and all the other luxuries normal people take for granted.

Read Superior Foes of Spider-man

>>92711723
I know for a fact that Killer Frost spent most of her time in either cold storage or mental institutions, and when she wasn't committing mass murder was literally homeless and sleeping in caves and dumpsters

Harley is a PCuck and in some continuities collects dolls.

When a villain's not engaged in his employment
Or maturing his felonious little plans
His capacity for innocent enjoyment
Is just as great as any honest man's
>>
>>92712018
so what do they enjoy innocently

We've seen that Freeze likes to sculpt, and Penguin likes to collect art. Ivy obviously likes to garden, and Magpie is almost certainly a hoarder.

When the enterprising Joker's not a-burgling
When Black Manta isn't occupied in crime
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling
And listen to the merry village chime
When Deathstroke's finished jumping on his mother
He loves to lie a-basking in the sun
>>
>>92712069
Joker and Harley in their off hours occasionally MST3K comedians. This usually ends in disaster.

Riddler collects rubix cubes.

Scarecrow runs a surprisingly useful advice hotline, focusing on childhood trauma.

Penguin, when not managing his various businesses or relaxing at the Lounge, goes ice skating. He's quite good.

Killer Moth stays home and watches cartoons.

Is Harley Quinn, dare I say it, /ourguy/?

Venture Bros is almost designed to answer questions like these

Everybody always thinks about how a villain's gimmick fits into their lifestyle. For a lot of them that's probably true; guys like Toyman, Riddler, and Mad Hatter are obsessive autists. If you've ever met somebody who is really into one thing, they're probably like that- all Toyman thinks about is getting, playing with, or making toys, and Hatter is into everything Alice.

But other people have to have other interests. When he isn't working on puzzles or watching gameshows, Gotham established that Riddler liked to cook. Its something meticulous and scientific but also has a whole factor that suits his showy nature.

I realize that a lot of villains are just there to be punching bags for heroes, but a lot of them have been around so long that its weird we don't know more about them as people.

Harley is /co/'s original gal. There's a reason she's one of our spoiler images.
>>
>>92711677
I like to think that Joker watches reruns of Real Housewives in a bathrobe and slippers while coming up with new material.
>>
>>92712473
I can see him getting super into it when a new season comes out. Calling out the characters on show like he's a Jerry Springer audience member.
>>
>>92712473
>>92712590
I always imagine Joker is basically a murderous Krusty the Clown, except he actually cares about his material. He's got a bunch of criminal yes men around him getting him to sign off on things while he works on material. Then he goes out to comedy clubs or watches golden age comedies.
>>
>>92712304
/ourgal/, not /ourguy/
>>
>>92712590
Joker almost certainly watches a lot of tv
>>
>>92711741
I can't believe Nick Spencer wrote that.
>>
>>92711677
I feel like you would only be able to give villains with minimal powers actual sedintary lifestyles.
Take for instance Riddler's day to day life versus someone like Mr.Freeze's life.
Riddler is normal enough to have hobbies and isn't too obsessed with something to enjoy them.
Freeze's condition both physical and mental make it very unbelievable that he'd even want to do anything but think of more ways to save Nora.
>>
>>92713792
Sometimes in between heists and plans, or during a stay at Arkham, Mr. Freeze listens to classical music, especially ballet pieces.

They were Nora's favorite
>>
>>92711677
I like to think that at least one of them have a wankaton of chinese pornographic cartoons once a month.
>>
>>92711827
Oh fuck that. Vampires are for faggots.

I like to think Steve Lieber impersonated Spencer.

We've seen Captain Cold bringing home groceries, and no reason to believe he didn't shop for them. He's also been seen watching TV. All the Rogues drink a lot and play cards together frequently, the second Mirror Master does coke, the second Trickster plays his Gameboy a lot, and the Rogues hideout has been shown with a gaming system set up. Plus Cold goes to hockey games, sometimes with a hooker, and he sleeps with her once a week. The Top had a girlfriend, who later became the Golden Glider, and she later had other boyfriends.
>>
>>92712449
I like how some villains have normal lives and some are just obsessive autist.

>>92715791
The rogues in general are your normal professional criminals who just happen to have super powers. They live pretty normal lives when not either committing crime or waiting for the other rogues to bust them out of prison.
>>
>>92716471
Pretty much, yeah. I think that's their appeal.
>>
>>92711711
If they weren't, they would appreciate life instead of trying to take over and/or destroy the world in the first place.
