Almost Infamous: A Supervillain Novel - Plot & Excerpts
We would then run out, battle the heroes, run back home, and BOOM! Instant celebrity.Instead, we ambled on up to the War Room, in our pajamas, coffee in hand, and listened as Fifty-Fifty and Everywhere Man explained that our first big gig would involve robbing the First National Bank of Amber City… in three weeks. Until then, we had other work to do.They did brief us via a giant, wall-sized monitor though, so I got that part right.Before we could make our debut, we had to “establish a presence.” Since the last of the supervillains went extinct in the mid-90s, back when every hero and villain was covered in guns, pouches, steroids, bad hair, and worse attitude, none of us had any idea what a modern villain was supposed to look like. The heroes had taken some opinion polls and surveys to give us an idea of what people would look for in a modern supervillain, and we had to mold ourselves to meet that ideal.We had to be bad guys. Check.We couldn’t be too bad. According to polls, as much as villains terrified people, a large number of them wanted to be able to relate to and sympathize with us, so it’s not like we could be villains and war criminals.
