Characters found in the webcomic Evil Plan.
Evil Plan
Dr. Tal A. Kinesis
Dr. Tal A. Kinesis is an aspiring supervillain with telekinetic powers. He's shooting for world domination, with the alleged goal of "creating a world where people can trust each other." He still seems to be struggling after parting ways with his ex-partner William. Can't seem to spit out his feelings for his second-in-command.
Tropes which apply to Kinesis:
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Kinesis keeps his identity secret from his family. They think he's a banker.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With his ex-business partner, Will.
- Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: What rightfully happens when Stan attempts to use his telekenesis to fire off multiple guns at once.
- Took A Levelin Badass: He's figured out how to do it correctly by the end of chapter 14. just in time for Amazingman to become bulletproof. Oh well!
- Took A Levelin Badass: He's figured out how to do it correctly by the end of chapter 14.
- Mind over Matter: Kinesis can carry up to 11kg of weight with the power of his telekinesis chip.
- Out of Character Is Serious Business: Chapter 16 has her touch Ms. Evanson which is a complete break of character. It shows, particularly in light of Lemon and Lime's break-up, that Stanley has learned to truly care for (rather than simply endure) at least one human being.
Alice Evanson
Kinesis' second in command and engineer, now also the head of the minions (or "Head Minion," though she'd really prefer not to be called that). After being shunted from job to job, she finally found work with Kinesis, the two bonding over their mutual disrespect for society's limits on science. She's very open about her feelings for her boss, but there's not much to be done about them until he can come to terms with his own side of the relationship.
Tropes which apply to Alice:
- Only Sane Employee: That's the spirit! I guess.
- Naïve Newcomer: Though she adapts really fast.
- Parents as People: Alice's parents are a fine couple but their parenting ideologies clashed hard enough to tear the family apart.
- Unfazed Everyman: Even in a world where superheroics are the norm she takes the idea of working for a super villain remarkably well.
- Workplace-Acquired Abilities: Alice came in to the super-villain gig fully trained and ready to act as an engineer for a mad scientist. How? Destroying every place she's ever worked in as a mundane engineer who always wanted to improve the existing designs.
- You Can't Go Home Again: Something about boiling your landlord in fruitcake will limit your options in reintegrating with society.
Lime
Stan and Will's old college friend who grew up to marry Lime and open a black market for super villains. Helped establish Stan into the world of super villainy.
Tropes which apply to Lemon and Lime:
- Arms Dealer: Their chosen profession in the black market.
- Berserk Button: Don't make a move on either one of them. At least not when the other's around. In Chapter 14 it is implied that those who make sexual comments about the pair on hero forums end up going missing.
- Happily Married: As of Chapter 16 the "Happily" part may have vanished"
- Secret Identity: Her real name is "Gwen", both of the wives prefer to going by their villain names though.
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: Until Chapter 16
Lemon
Lime's wife and partner in crime for their joint black market business for supervillains. Met Stan and Will in college.
- Berserk Button: Misusing firearms in her presence.
- Gun Nut: Lemon is very motherly when it comes to her guns.
- Happily Married: Though she walked out on her wife in Chapter 16.
- Secret Identity: Her real name is "Mae", like her wife she prefers going by her villain name.
- Sickeningly Sweethearts: Until Chapter 16
- Yandere: Due to her Gun Nut status and the fates of those who sexually harass the pair online, Lemon is most certainly sweet on the outside and murderous on the inside.
Computer
Kinesis' prank-loving computer. While it enjoys bossing the minions about and other perks of working in a mad scientist's lab, it does to be increasingly perturbed by Kinesis' descent into villaindom.
In Chapter 8 it was revealed that Computer is the uploaded personality of Stan's former partner, Will.
Tropes which apply to Computer:
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: One would doubt Kinesis intentionally designed Computer to be a sarcastic smartass.
- Brain Uploading: Computer is really the uploaded personality of Stan's former partner, Will.
The Minions
Kinesis' army of hired help. They all wear matching uniforms and try to follow orders as best they can. Very few stand up as individual characters besides one unfortunate captain and "Patty McLightfoot"
Tropes which apply to The Minions:
Amazingman, a.k.a. Kevin Kolton
A college student who accidentally stumbles upon Kinesis' upgraded telekenesis chip, using it to become Urbane City's first superhero: Amazingman. Quiet but athletic, Kevin's low on brains, but big on heart.
Tropes which apply to Kevin:
- All-Loving Hero: Kevin is a cinnamon roll and holds great optimism for his murderer cousin and that confirmed super villain woman he met at the bank once. Kevin seems the sort to see the good in all things. In Chapter 16 he insists on saving Alice from villainy even while she has a gun trained on him.
- Arch-Enemy: He has become Kinesis' after seeing him mistreat Alice live on television.
- Break the Cutie: May aswell be Chapter 7's alternate title.

- Character Focus: A couple chapters are devoted to Kevin.

- Work Off the Debt: Thanks to his new cybernetic spine he is in crippling debt to The Company which he must work off as a superhero.
Maro Fukuda
Kevin's enthusiastic best friend. His demeanor is composed of equal parts excitement and paranoia. He adamantly supports Kevin's venture into heroics, and was the one to sew Kevin's costume.
Tropes which apply to Maro:
- Badass Cape: After making Kevin's costume, Maro gives a mini-rant on the importance of capes. Unfortunately, he seems to have capes mixed up with a towel.
- Conspiracy Theorist: The government, man!
Faith Singh
Kevin's other best friend. More practical than Maro, she's concerned about the inherent dangers of the empowered lifestyle. She reportedly engages in rather dubious activities online.
Tropes which apply to Faith:
- Fangirl: Has Agent posters in her dorm room and surfs superhero messageboards.
- The Scully: She'll believe Kevin has powers when she sees it. She's understandably accepting once she sees him lift a car.

Tropes which apply to Emily:
Andrew "Agent" Cross
A brooding gun-wielding hero who works with The Company and serves as the president's bodyguard. As a hero he is bulky and scarred due to prospethics and cybernetics, in actuality he is quite small in stature. He is a genius capable of designing "Crosstech" cybernetics, including Kevin's new spine.
Tropes which apply to Agent:
- Canon Immigrant: Another version of Andrew appears in morphE where he is a cursed mage. They are clearly seperate characters though both equally "badass".
- Pintsized Powerhouse: Without his prosphetics he is tiny compared to the other heroes.
- Science Hero: Developer of Crosstech which he uses to become Agent.
- Work Off the Debt: Much like Kevin, Andrew is in debt to The Company and heroing to work off his bills.

- Early-Bird Cameo: In the April Fools visual novel update where Anguish and Meat Shield play chess and discuss the history of The Company.

- Good is Not Nice: Is the reason there is legal precident for lethal force.
- Jerkass: Lights up cigarettes in a space station and extinguishes the butt in a vodka bottle.

Tropes which apply to Anguish:
- Cool Old Guy: Likes to browse 4Chan and use Reddit to blend in with the hero fandom.
William
Stanley's best friend and the co-founder of Global Endeavours. During the flashback chapter he was shown to have walked out on the business after Kinesis finished the first design of the upgraded telekenesis chip. He has been shown to still be in contact with Stan though the details of their current relationship have not been made clear yet.
This is later proven to be incorrect, and that he is actually dead, though his personality lives on in Computer.
Tropes which apply to Will:
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: He walks out on Stanley and takes the designs for the Beta Chip because he feels Stan takes all the glory and positive effects of their research.
- This turns out to not be true. Will died in an experiment gone wrong, but Computer/Will told Dr. Kinesis to tell Alice that story so she wouldn't freak out and leave.
