Who are you?
We are the International Society of Supervillains. The name is self explanatory and printed clearly just above your question.

How did you form?
We were founded by members of the Transatlantic Guild of Miscreants. After deciding the Guild set its sights too low we broke away and formed our own group, which quickly grew in power and overtook its former masters.

So you’re trying to take over the world?
No. We already have, hence the “International” in our name. You get French toast at IHOP, right? You get the world with the ISS, and an array of up to seven syrups.

If you’re Supervillains, does that mean you kill people?
We do what we must. But don’t worry, we won’t kill you as long as you ask the right questions.

Um…uh…who…who are your arch-nemeses?
We’ve already taken care of our arch-nemeses. We soundly defeated The Squadron of Righteous Pansies in the Battle of Ibiza in 1983. Now, we are more focused on fighting general wholesomeness and knocking ice cream cones out of the hands of children.

What do you have to do with the International Space Station?
Nothing you want to know about.

Can I join?
Only International Supervillains may apply for membership, and even then our criteria is strict. Our standards are high and our acceptance rate is low. Not even the Great Cat Burglar of Montmarte got in. Also, our coastal headquarters is already over-booked. Our Undersea Base of Operations is filling up pretty fast, too. But if you think you have a chance, try our submissions page.

I’ve never even heard of the Great Cat Burglar of Montmarte.
That’s because you are not a Supervillain. Also, that wasn’t a question.

How many Supervillains are in the society?
Our numbers are legion. We have members on seven continents and can strike anywhere and at any time. But for the purposes of this site, let’s just say a few dudes.

Seven continents? No one lives in Antarctica.
Again, that’s not a question. Any more of those and we will escort you to the Frequently Said Comments section, and then prove to you just how quickly and ferociously we can strike. Remember what we said about the murders earlier.

Is that a flag with a ring on it?
Yes. That flag is the most evil flag in the history of flags. It depicts our membership ring, which holds our official insignia. Both ring and insignia are also very evil, hence the skull.

Is ISS mainly devoted to traditional villainy or are you stylistically open to eclectic forms of skullduggery?
The ISS remains committed to practical application of treachery in any and all forms. We are dedicated to the foundations of supervillainy: Fighting good with overly-elaborate plans, minions and rambling speeches.

Why are you wasting your time with an online comedy site?
Again, allow us to remind you what we said about the murdering.
