# I will try to develop a means of being able to turn off certain senses and physical abilities of mine at will. For example, if I can turn off my hearing at command, then I won't be able to listen to a boring heroic speech.
# Of course, sufficient training will have to be put in place to ensure this "killswitch" ability doesn't get used on me by saboteurs.
# Burying my enemies alive is NEVER a good option; there's always a chance, no matter how small, that they'll escape. A simple bullet, or sword to the head is always better.
# If I have to send my henchmen to bring proof of my enemies' demise, I will always insist that they bring the head of said enemy. Granted, it's barbaric, but it's usually the sure-fire method of proving their death. Any other body part lost is more survivable, anyhow.

# If the hero and I are both among the handful of the remaining survivors of a space-faring species whose home planet was destroyed, and I possess the means to rebuild our home on a new planet by terraforming it, I will not even consider the planet that hero calls home as a potential candidate. The hero and the natives might just raise an issue with that, and themselves possess the means of stopping or destroying me. Moreover, within any given solar system there are several dozen planets and celestial objects that aren’t home to anything or anyone, so there’s no point in antagonizing the hero and the natives when I can just pick any one of the hundreds of other unoccupied celestial bodies to terraform. All without fear of resistance.
