Want to graduate from petty criminal to supervillain? Be the next anti-hero with these tips.

Step 1: Find a nemesis
Find a superhero to despise, and vow to obliterate them. After all, what's a supervillain without a superhero?

Step 2: Acquire your own powers
Acquire superpowers of your own by stealing advanced technology from the government, nurturing your genius intellect, or subjecting yourself to a gene-altering radioactive accident.

Step 3: Name yourself
Give yourself a menacing name, ideally one that exemplifies your particular brand of evil or references your tragic past. "Bob" just ain't gonna cut it.

Tip
1-word monikers and alliterative names are easy to remember.

Step 4: Develop an evil plan
Develop an evil plan for the destruction of your enemy superhero, followed by world domination. Get the details down now -- it will come in handy when you repeat the whole dang story to the captured superhero just before you kill them.

Step 5: Set the trap
Set a trap for the superhero. Kidnapping a loved one or threatening to reveal their identity is always a good way to get their attention.

Step 6: Have a plan B
Once you have the superhero where you want them, have a plan B. Because while you insist on boring them with the details of how you outsmarted them, they'll no doubt get away.

Did You Know?
An alternate costume created for Spider-Man instead became his archenemy, Venom.
