You have got to be bad: You have got to be down right awful. Be as mean as you can. Make sure you are the kinda person who wouldn't think twice about wiping out an entire city.

You got to have a hatred of the goods and neutrals. This can be a past issue, or something more recent, but you must hate the good and neutrals with a passion. What use is a villain if he isn't trying to do the good and neutrals in? Your main goal, besides world domination, should be the offing of the good and neutrals.

You got to have a decent army of minions. You need enough people to put your evil plans into action. Any good evil villain will tell you, without the support of your minions, you'd have to set all those explosive charges and push all those buttons. Now what evil villain has time for that.

You got to have some kind of soft side. I know what your thinking soft side but hatred can only sustain someone for so long. Even if it's just having a pet, or a fondness for pretty ladys. There are two sides to every person, and there should be two sides to you.

You got to have a great evil plan. What good is being an evil villain, or having an army of minions, if you have a lousy plan to take over the world? Come on, you know deep down you want win so think your plans out.

You always got to have a great escape route. When the chips are down, you should be ready to flee the scene, leaving your minions to face the wrath of the good and neutrals and the army the good and neutrals brought with them to thwart your evil plot. Remember only run when you have to not before don't want look bad in front of the minions or lose respect. Again I know what your thinking run away never but think of it as a get away use this time go some where nice. You can always die later.

If your going to die you got to have a great death scene. Unless you are planning on coming back from the dead. You want your death to be as spectacular as your life was. Make sure you go out with a BANG.
