This by no means you will fail at ''every'' step of your plan, because it's a well known fact that YouCantThwartStageOne. You'll probably get to rob the bank or build the DoomsdayDevice, and you [[VillainExitStageLeft usually get to escape]] when it goes pear-shaped. But beyond that, you're pretty much screwed. Don't forget to shake your fist, [[WeWillMeetAgain swear you'll be back]] and [[NeverRecycleYourSchemes never re-use any of your old plans]]. It's all part of the {{supervillain}} flair.

* Have a theme or a gimmick; something as broad as "MadScientist who wants to {{take over the world}}/city/[[PhineasAndFerb Tri-State Area]]" works if pursued with style and variety, but you really want to have a theme - ice and coldness, or riddles, for instance. (Both of those [[{{Batman}} have been taken]].)
