Congratulations, you've just successfully destroyed the world!

[Space Jawa]

You're an evil villain. Your evil goal for as long as you've been in this line of work has been to destroy the world. Not conquer or transform it, but to "destroy it" (but you can interpret "Destroy" how you like). And now, after years, possibly decades of hard work, you've succeeded.

So...now what? What does someone do once they've succeeded at such a task? How many of them really think it through? And once the world is destroyed, where does one keep their stuff?

I'm going to be honest, it seems like a rather short-sighted goal to me.

 

[BlueTomfoolery]

I'll just rebuild it. I'll switch my star-destroyer to star-rebuilder and repopulate the planet the way I see fit.

You're thinking of the wacky Dr. Evil style destroy-the-world. You have to view it as 'i've fucking had enough and humanity must be cleansed' destroy the world. Takeya & Jin in Persona 3 wanted to call forth Nyx, the shadow of death merely to watch the end of the world. They only cared about bringing about the Fall because in their eyes, humanity was irredeemable and were driving themselves to an early grave anyway. Nyx just sped up the process.

I think if a super-villain truly set out to destroy they world, they'd do it with the intention of literally destroying the world rather than wipe out a large portion of life or something.

I'd probably be dead too.
Just extinct Man, might as well go all out and take myself too.

It's Zorc! It's Zorc and pals.

Sorry.

Anyway, I'd live on the moon until I got back-stabbed by my traitorous assistant.

If I had access to a giant (Fingerquotes) laser on the moon and I wiped out the Earth, I'd probably go blow up Mars, for shits and giggles. If you're going to be an eccentric madman, do it properly. ET has had it waaaay too easy.

If I were seriously to wipe out humanity without an equivalent of the Alan Parsons Project, I'd go for a genetically engineered delayed-action virus. Specific to humans, and given our modern age of air travel it'd spread quickly.

Actually on the Dr Evil side, theres a flash game floating around that lets you do just that, blow up the Earth. Don't remember the name, but when you beat it you get a list of things you can do, like sneering at the remains, giving it the finger, cackling evilly, etc.

I'd probably catch up on some reading. And never EVER used an alarm clock again for anything but cooking purposes.

 

[Frequen-Z]

Find another one and restart the process.

I'll just rebuild it. I'll switch my star-destroyer to star-rebuilder and repopulate the planet the way I see fit.

Just to be the most evil bastard that ever lived, I'd allow the remnants of humanity to survive and slowly rebuild, then just as their cultures begin to flourish again, I re-emerge with my demonic army of destruction as a massive "Fuck You!" to the "Good always wins" theorists.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Build a steampunk planet and repopulate it with trees after 10 years animals 5 after that humans shal return who I deemed worthy to live...

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

Depends on your definition of "destroy," do you mean destroy destroy, as in blow up, render lifeless etc. In such a case one would assume that I'm a villain with a deathwish, in which case I will happily burn along with the rest of the earth as it was always meant to be.

If you mean "cleanse" or "wipe clean" one assumes that I would be the one to rebuild it, which would mean that I wanted to conquer the world, just not the world as it was.

Just wait for insanity to kick in.

You must have a shitload of time...

 

[fearofthemind]

Why would you destroy it when you could conquer it? There are more advantages to conquering it then destroying it.

 

[Vortex Traveller]

Simple, go off and destroy other worlds until the only thing left is my Giant Space-Fortress of Doom and anything on it (before the Worlds's destruction I'd remove anything I consider of value to my future perfect rebuilt universe). Once I've destroyed every world... rebuild the universe to my design *laughs manically*!

What you're thinking about is Mastermind, a game that originated either on Newgrounds or The Swain.
OT: After destroying the Earth, I would terraform Mars and start the human race again, only weeding out certain genetic mutations to ensure at least a little control over the future.

 

[child of lileth]

If I had an idea of 'destroy the world', it would be to pretty much destroy any kinda of sense of freedom and resistance, and to be able to rebuild it under my own rule. But I'd have to have subordinates somewhere, and that's where the flaws with the plan would start.

 

[Quaxar]

Just wait for insanity to kick in.

If you've just destroyed the only planet providing a habitable surrounding for humanity in the solar system that's probably the wrong time to wait for it.

Forget the "after thoughts", I want to know where they all get their billions of evil henchmen. Advertising in the local newspaper? Job Centre? Luring Glaswegians with a bottle of free Ale for every agent they stab?

Bad guys always do when their goal is complete. Also, you think me illogical enough to be the most evil man in all of the land, and not formulate an elixir of immortality? You need to brush up on your Evil 101 my boy...
