Where shall I establish my Evil Bond Villain Secret Base?
Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 08:33 AM by Screaming Lord Byron
Need some help here, DUers.

I was considering the West Edmonton Mall.

Plenty of space for the Giant Octopus


and my Mutant Henchmen



Well laid-out spacious torture areas



And of course, a dock for my Evil Submarines


However, there's no underground monorail.
Any suggestions for alternate locales?

1. I'd suggest Crawford, Tx, but there's an evil base of operations there now

4. Look. I don't ask for much. I'm a modest man.
But, don't I deserve an underground monorail. Hmm? Please.

You can't be an evil overlord if you don't have a menacing facial scar.

5. I suggest purchasing a used missile silo.
1. Hardened against attack.
2. Non-descript from the air.
3. Already wired for cool electronics and secure communications.
4. Lots of land for building housing for your evil minions.

38. can I be one of your minions please
I think I would be a good minion. And I know tai-chi. I could be a new -agey feminist- type minion. Or is that an oxymoron?

I promise to listen well. And wear one of those catstuits. I always wanted to wear one of those. ;)

BTW how big is your underground mall lair. That one posted above was pretty big. Good grief.

good luck in your plan for hegemony. I love that word.

and I have boots to match! I'm more a leather than a lame'.

or MAYBE silver lame. I'm not really the gold lame type. Not sure I'm the lame' type period, but in the interest of properly stocking your lair with stylish minions, that is, I might relent.

31. MWA-HA-Ha-ha!
There's more too:

The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

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.

32. Hve you considered locating in Washington DC?
Reflecting pools could be good for your octopus (rather than the dank, dark places most evil super villians put them into.) Plenty of henchmen already in place, convenient river access, and it already has a well known reputation for decision making that many US citezens find tortuous.

However, you might have to evict the current evil in residence.

43. Abandonned 'Dixie Square Mall', 20 miles south of downtown Chicago.


The mall scene in the Blues Brothers Movie was shot there. It's been empty for 25 years.

Centrally located, yet unassuming.

It's perfect.
