How do I become a succsesful Evil Overlord?!
Question: First of all you need to go to Night classes, your local council should publish them, Luckly in the North East there was a beginers course in world domination.
You need to take all the courses and then when complete you need to purchase some henchmen, these can be employed via your local recruitment centre. I must say I prefer to use a private agency as they tend to vet them better, you do not want MI6 sneaking one in at an early stage.
Once you have your training and your henchmen you will need an evil island, now with property prices going through the roof , I suggest you try and rent a small one, and maybe share it with another meglomaniac
The most important thing though is you must now how some obscure plan on dominating the world. This can include space travel and lasers but remember its all been done before.
Now you have your evil island, plan and henchmen. You need 2 other things.
1. an obscure pet, often a white cat but sharks or snakes can do. but think of something that can bite or claw. Doing TV apperances with a fluffy bunny may give the wrong impretion.
2. A limp, squint or bad arm. you need some sort of injury again an apendix scar just will not cut the ice, you will need something more disabling. or odd. a 3rd nipple is often a good thing in world domination.
remember after all this you need a catchy name for your gang, and some nice uniforms.
Good luck and I hope all goes well

looks like your already on the way good job!
You come and see me!!
I don't know.. Hillary Clinton would know.
stand for election. i'll vote for you!
why would you even want to
y do you want to become an Evil Overlord in the first place? you become one by being crule, meen and evil to everyone.
First you have to find a mini me
Don't get caught
you need a toilet roll tube and some sticky back plastic, i saw it on blue peter (although it may have been a mad trip i was on) fook it, i'll follow ya chavvy (remember i said that when ya rule the world ;-) lol
You need minions.... lots and lots of minions...
and some sort of personality quirk, because every evil overloard has one of those... and a Lair, because thats just a cool thing to say. I'm going to me evil Lair.
Trust me, its alot of hard work... its better to just be an Evil Dooer... and just do some evil sometimes... instead of an Overloard...
I should probally lay off the Mountain Dew...
I can give you some good tips. lol
Please don't hurt me mistress ;-)
I've written a book on this. It does have its ups and downs.

It will tell you all you need to need to know. Good luck, and please don't kill me if you succeed.
Just to list the first ten:
1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.
3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.
4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box. The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.
6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.
7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."
8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.
10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum -- a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.
the rest in the source
-Work on perfecting your wicked laugh.
-Get some henchmen.
-Build a doomsday machine.
-Brush your teeth at least twice daily, because nobody will take you seriously otherwise.
I'm pretty sure that there is an oral and written test you must first pass.
I'll double check
what ? you can lord of me anytime lol
You're already successful!
Imagine it 24 hours per day, see the picture as long as you could then sleep. You'll be one in your dream.
There are several ways to become a successful evil overlord. But these are some simple 10 step plan to be one.
1) Power over others:
Power is not something gain, but something that others think you have. Power from others is the absolute necessity for an evil overlord. You may get power by inciting fear, charisma, or deception of goodness. Deception is the most effective tool since not only will people obey, and there isn't a chance of rebellion
2) Deception:
The art of deception is not only used for power for obedience, but it is also used to gain support. An evil overlord does not work alone. Your closest friends would be the most deceptable ones who would willingly support every action you take. However, your absolute closest friend will be someone who already is supported by foolish infidels.
3) Backstab:
Your absolute closest friend, is your ally. Use the goodness of the friend to gather and unify to a single cause. Once united, eliminate your friend to hold absolute power. Keep your other friends who does not have the capability to rebel but supports you.
4) Individuals to Society
Once these 3 steps are done in a micro-social level. Move to a larger social level. Deceive other groups for them to believe your group has unpredictable might over others. Work to be the de-facto micro-social dictator, by repeating the step#2 "Backstab" to eliminate groups with opposable force, leaving only the weak to support you.
5) Macro-social Dictatorship:
Any macro-social dictators would surely fail without deception towards the mass. Evil Overlords, evilness should be always hidden beneath the caring goodness of jesus-like tenderness. Deceive your minions to believe their doings are for the good. And decieve your victioms to believe their pain is a small price to pay for your grand plan to make the world a peaceful place.
6) Inter-Social Oppositions:
For the entertainment and to unify the righteousness of the world's overlord, make wars. Two bleeding dogs in fight, will both as for help, and be touched by your love when you put an end to it.
7) Evolution and Breeding:
To keep everyone until your throne with thunderous awesomeness, you can not take any chances to keep anyone who is capable of overthrowing you. You must eliminate them but without giving any doubt to citizens that your actions are for their well being.
7) Scapegoats:
Humans are destructive. The rate of suicide and depression will rise when there are no heros and villians. Although you are the overlord, the key to being a successful one is to letting others believe it is the other way. A group who is capable overthrowing you must be blamed for a natural result, such as a tornado. Use media wisely to gain absolute support ,excluding the scapegoats and mercilessly attack them. You will be seen as a hero. It is also a good idea to clone the ones who obey you well.
9) Space program:
With unquestioning obedience and love from citizens of the Earth. Start an evil space program to find and colonize other planets and use the extra-terrestrials as slaves. Usage of slaves would greatly increase the pride of Earthlings.
10) Final Chaos of an Overlord:
Using force of Earth civilians with auxiliary forces of extra-terrestrials, launch a massive attack on corporations that manufacture products that contains caffeine . So I can freaking go to sleep instead of writing this bullcrap at 3 in the morning for christ's sake. god dammnit. WHY do they have caffeine in every soda. Forget being an evil overlord, just attack. now god dammit this is dumb
Awwwwwwwwwwww.....you can't your too sweet princess
You've got some brilliant answers for this one, hun! xx
