"I am Maleficent, Mistress of all Evil," the dark faerie said to Dr. Horrible. "If you are concerned about that boy, which I find baffling, I merely said how his artifacts are merely crutches for the weak. And you are?"

The Shocker Rider checked out Dr. Horrible carefully.
Looks like a scientist. Not a fighter.
Gilgamesh looked amused,
“There is a great deal of difference, between being able to use a magical artifact, and being able to use a magical artifact well. These…Shen-Gong-Wu, might be very easy to simply use, but only a master would be able to use them properly. They might be designed that way, so that it encourages one to train with it and understand it.”

-Horrible felt a song coming on-
"I'm..."
-phantasmal music picks up-
"Dr. Horrible! Supervillain supreme!"
"Sworn enemy of all heroes! Crusher of men's dreams!"
"Spreading fear with science! Putting heroes in their place!
coughcoughsometimesanyway
"And once I get out of here the whole world will know my face!"
-He regained his composure and the music died down as he realised he wasn't impressing anyone by singing-
"...Sorry about that. But yes, I'm Dr. Horrible, PhD. Supervillain and mad scientist. Mostly mad physics, but I do some mad chemistry in my spare time."
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
The Shocker Rider sighed and slapped his helmet-clad head.

-Horrible glared at the Shocker Rider-
"What? Don't you people sing?"
"One thing, though- apparently the eldest goat is the bastard child of Muhammad Ali and the Hulk." ~ Exelixi, on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.
"Not constantly, not like that." Vanitas noted, his visible eye rolling again.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
—Shockwave and Megatron stood in stony silence, before the latter clomped back into his lair.—
"I. DO. NOT. SING! I KILL!"
The Shocker Rider told Horrible. "In the name of the Great Leader."
Not Literally Me
"...Interesting. Ah well, your loss."

Aww, son of a bitch
Jack poked his head out of his lab door. "Hey! Singing guy! Need your help over here!"
"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probably
"It seems that you're not a fighter." The Shocker Rider told Horrible. "I may as well introduce myself. I'm a Shocker Rider created by nanomachine surgery to defeat the Rider traitors on orders from the Great Leader for SHOCKER. I'm taking the name Hopper."

"Doodeedoo..." Black Mage started polishing the 4 Elemental Orbs with his sleeves. "Man, Sarda better give me something good for these..." He muttered as he polished them.

"Even so, there is still the inherent risks of an enemy becoming too strong in using the item you are trying to pilfer, or some random stranger mastering your chosen item far faster and a greater degree then you, or even becoming so used to one you become defenseless when it is gone," Maleficent said to Gilgamesh. "Such things I find far too much of a gamble to be worth it."
She then raised an eyebrow at Dr. Horrible's singing for a mere introduction. "For your own sake, please refrain from going to random bouts of singing when speaking directly to me," Maleficent somewhat threatened, clearly annoyed by the musical number. "But anyway, I find it fascinating that your world actually gives out doctorates in mad science."

Vissr 3 watched Maleficent intently. <Fascinating.> he said at last after the illusion show. <Someday I will discover exacly how you managed to do that.>

Black Mage summoned a training dummy that looked like Sarda. "Alright! Time for some target practice!" He then started to charge a whole bunch of bright blue energy in his hands with intent to shoot the dummy.

The Shocker Rider moved on, searching for his room in the lair.
Screw the Lion!
"As I said," Maleficent said to Visser Three, "it was magic. As I told the robot, magic is an integral force of cosmos that cannot be explained through science. Really, having a host as ridiculous looking as that I was hoping you would be more open minded."

"HADOKEN!" Black Mage let rip a giant bright blue beam of pure weaponized love that proceeded to shred through everything near the target, but not the target itself. The effect was akin to a crater with an undisturbed middle. "How the hell did I miss?!" Black Mage said indignantly.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.
The Shocker Rider turned his head around, hearing the HADOKEN that the Black Mage did.
"What in the..."
Screw the Lion!
"For the love of Lucifer, what in the blazes?!" Maleficent said after seeing the Hadoken spell.

Black Mage glared at the dummy and promptly caused it to implode with his Inferno spell, chunks of burning straw strewn all over the room. "Bah..." He then looked at Maleficent. "Oh, that was just my Hadoken spell."

Cogito Ergo Sum
Back in his lair, Fawful paused in his work. The messy part of the job had been done, and now it was just a matter of waiting for the metaphorical batteries to charge.
Watching the video feed fro mthe handful of Fawfulcopters that constantly flitted around in the All-Lair, he collected his thoughts on the other Overlords.
Megatron was one of the most interesting ones, to be sure. Posessing both brute strengh and cold intelligence, the massive mechanical malefactor actually managed to inspire genuine admiration in the pint-sized engineer. Oh, he still planned to tear his technological secrets from his processor by any means necessary, but he might actually feel a twinge of remorse as he did so, and in the meantime it was a wonder to watch him work. Perhaps his complete ignorance of magic could prove his downfall?
On the complete opposite end of the scale stood Maleficent. She was undoubtedly the most powerful sorceress Fawful had ever met, making Cackletta's enchantments look like the meager parlor tricks of a magician who must duct-tape the rabbit to the inside of his hat. And yet the fact that she chose a henchman as blatantly incompetent as Pete spoke of either desperation or idiocy. The fact that she was a magical being herself was somewhat troubling, too; seperating her power from her would be much more difficult.
Doom was one of the few of the overlords who had a mastery of both magic and technology surpassing Fawful's own. Yet seperated from his armor, how resilient would he be? Just a man, or was there more to the Latverian monarch than met the eye?
Zod and Visser Three would require much more analysis, considering thta both claimed teir remarkable powers to be organic in nature. Zod was difficult to injure in the first place; and it had not escaped Fawful's attention that the Visser's injuries were healed upon a shape change.
Flandre.... if one were to go simply by the number assigned to her level of power,she coudl easily obliterate everyone there. And yet she had the mind of a child, and children were easy to pacify, to manipulate.
The Black Mage was also incredibly powerful, but also completely and utterly incompetent, quite literally unable to hit the broad ide of a barn. Maul's telekinesis was interesting, and Fawful stil lwanted to get his hands on that weapon of his, but Maul himself was a rash idiot. Perhaps if he waited long enough, one of the others would dispose of him, saving Fawful the effort. Azula's fire magic was interesting to be sure, but the gir lherself reeked of the Fury.
The others were barely worth considering. The Daleks were a race of angry idiots, and the rest were simply humans with fancy gadgets. The Osborns might be useful as lab rats, and examinign the Riders' devices might prove interesting ,but other than that they were mostly useless.
Jack Spicer, Doctor Horrible, and the Eggman, however... was there really room for more than one Evil Genius in the All-Lair? Maybe. Maybe not.
"M...M....M-master....?"
Fawful turned and grinned, greeting his new creation.
Pretend there's something clever written here.
Darn. I'm going to have to come up with another name for the Incredible Ego-Men now. Why'd she have to be a girl? The Incredible Ego-People doesn't have a good ring to it.
"Umm, hi. Glad to see we've moved on from introductions to passing judgements on each others' abilities. What's your name, by the way?"
