Q: Why are you rushing to the hospital? Was it something you ate? A: An undead pixie with cheese

Q: On a scale of one-to-ten, how strong are you? A: Only Foxbat understands me.

Post-Crisis, in Superman #1, Luthor had a computer scientist and a super-computer working on discovering the link between Clark Kent and Superman. It was well-known that the two were friends, and Luthor was desperate to get a hold of some kind on the Man of Steel. But when the results came out "Clark Kent is Superman" Luthor refused to believe it. "Only a soulless machine could come up with that, but Luthor knows better. Power like that is not concealed - it is constantly exploited. No one with Superman's powers would ever pretend to be a mere mortal!" Ain't Psych Lims grand

They've been using that "excuse" for years. Only this implies there is some actual factual basis for it.

Q: Why can I not have my vengeance? A: Twenty gallons of red wine, golden boots, and a duck

Q: What injury brought Janet Jackson's dancing tour to a premature end? A: He went for distance

I have a group of mystical being known as the Elementals. There is Geo (Earth, the brick), Pyre (Fire, energy projector), Whelm (Water, energy projector/shape shifter) and Mariah (Air, invisible energy projector) all lead by Void. He looks like a human-sized-black-hole, he makes no sound, and communicates by telepathy. He has mental powers, some drains useable at range, draining Damage shield, and all of his powers affect the real world when he is desolid. He does have a vulnerability, only none of the players know for sure what it is yet ::evil smirk:: He scares the spit out of my players.

Q: Didn't he know that parachute was broken? A: Well that plan was a bust.

Q: What was the second half of Tim's punishment after loosing both kneecaps? A: A prophetic refrigerator of doom

Q: Do you have a cunning plan? A: I'm no expert, but pretty sure it doesn't go there.

Q: What's a good folk-remedy to relieve constipation? A: With finesse and élan

Captain Champion is my campaigns Amalgam version of Superman/Captain America. *I* like him. Then again, Superman has always been my favorite...

Q: Supergirl! Your cape is ruined, your hair's a mess, and where is that bomb you were going to get rid of? A: Never mind the how, I wanna know why!

The point remains that no one in the group ever interacts with the villians. Once the party ID's someone as a badguy, its a race to kill them. The first encounter with the Ogre Mage, you escaped because he was CR 14 and you were all level 4! The reason he didn't kill you all then was because you were all inhis house, and he didn't want to damage any of his expensive furniture. The second time you all went back, he wasn't even there. You just robbed his place. When you finally met him the third time (and were of sufficient level that you were able to survive the fight) your did chat with him... but then you killed him anyway. The Mind Flayer, no one ever tried to talk too. He told you to stay out of his way, you all said "no" and that was about the end of that. Kissandra I'll grant you didn't kill... but not from a lack of trying. She's the one long-term enemy I have in this (or any other) campaign... As for your comment... "our party has a preference for leaving no survivors once we get into combat" I have this to say: if this were Fantasy Hero, I dare say everyone in this party would have a 15 Psych. Lim: Leave No Survivors. You left one survivor one time (Gale) and half of the party was wishing they'd killed her anyway.

Q: Yes, I have red bumps all over me. Yes, they itch. Yes, its been a few weeks since I had a bath. What's your point? A: Melvin - that's who.

I never saw Inigo as a villain, though. The only reason he fought Westley was because he was being paid, and I just do not (in most cases) see mercenaries as villians. Opponents, yes, but not "villians"

Q: When Foxbat is at his most delusional, what is the cause of his being made Public Enemy #1? A: I'll need to see a man about a turnip, first. (Finally made it )

Maybe if you all took some time to get to know my villians rather than killing them off (D&D and Vampire) or shoving them in jail (Champions) on the first encounter, you might meet a few of them. On a different note, while literature may be full of examples of "honest" villians, they are few and far between. Heck, modern society has a paucity of honest heroes, never mind the villians. The whole point of being a villian (to my mind) is that you get to do what you want, when you want, and how you want regardless of the ethical or moral repercussions.

Q: I don't get it. The first time you cleared out this secret hide-out all went well. Now the place is a smoldering crater! What happened? A: He ain't heavy -he only weighs 25 metric tons.

Q: What effect did that home-made whiskey have on the last guy who tried it? A: Not that kind of tail!

Q: What did he say, not quite so contrived? A: It makes turpentine taste like water... good though.

Q: Why did you just tumble uncontrollably into the pit with spikes at the bottom? A: Only with the innards of a yak.

Q: How do surfers and stoners play Duck, Duck, Goose! A: Purple does not become you

Q: But if your doomsday machine should sink to the bottom of the sea, it will be useless. A: His blood type was Vanilla Coke

Q: What happens when Menton gets an EGO+30 Mind Control effect? A: Singing in the Acid Rain
