Re: Who would be the Super Villians of your area?
In my campaign based in Cleveland, OH these are the current villains of note:
Nate "Nathaniel" LeDoux: Imagine a freelance reporter who just happens to be there every time your hero messes up, snaps a picture when you're in a comprimising position, gets a picture of you as you change from your secret to heroic ID, etc. And there's really nothing you can do about it...
Katharine Jacobs: Katie really isn't evil, the creatures she summons on accident are though. Katie's mutant ability is Summon with no conscious control. When she sees/reads about something that her brain thinks is 'cool' or 'scary' it creates it, much to the chagrin of the local heroes. So far the heroes haven't found her (they've found tons of her creations) and they'll be really surprised to find out she's a 10 year old.
The Anti-Heroes: Teen angst at its worst. Unlike most villains in the area, this band of miscreants commit crimes because they're bored (or 'just because'). The good thing is that they're all low point villains (Teen Champion level) but the bad thing is that the players seem to run into them at the worst times (on a date, all alone, etc.).
But the worst, most evil villains in my game's area are:
The League of Super Evil: Not because their plans are evil (although the attempt to put anchovies on every pizza in Cleveland was bad), it is mostly their 'red herring' factor.
