After all, you can't conquer the world if it's destroyed, right? Whether or not the villain attempts to stab the heroes in the back the instant the world is safe, or they nod and civilly go back to their Secret Lairs in a gentleman's agreement to face each other tomorrow depends on the villain. Villains who want this will occasionally combat other villains who want to destroy the world or use it for other purposes, and sometimes, just sometimes, team up with the heroes to do it. For a villain who has finally acquired godlike power, and did not use it to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence or euthanize the universe, then this is the next logical goal and use for said power.

Usually said villains fixate on the hero or someone/thing close to them as being part of their master Evil Plan. Or it's just because they are dicks.Įither way, this ambition will put them in direct conflict with the heroes, whether professional or ' I just want everything to go back to normal' types. Usually the motive is just to feed their lust for power, their massive egos, and their Greed, but sometimes they've got somewhat twisted ideals that they want everyone else to adhere to and world domination is the Path to a Better Future. They want to be in charge of everything and everyone. Of course! No reputable villain or Imperialistic Global Superpower would set their sights on anything less than World Domination ®! As Evil Plans go, world domination is ambitious, more logical and sometimes easier than wanton destruction of everything.
