Epic Villain Story Ideas!

    I have this thing going on at English in school and I need a story for a villain that I have thought of, this is what I came up with:

    Name - Cypher
    "Real" Name: Egeus "Egg" Mann

    Traits - An expert with melee (close-combat) weapons but favours the swift, light double-edged daggers which he wields in both his hands.

    Cypher has also, to some extent, the ability to use the dark magic emanating from the three rings he has found in his previous adventures and his study about the dark magics.

    The three rings he possess has different properties. The first gives Cypher the ability to evade attacks by bursts of speed but as he uses this frequently, it drains him of his concentration and focus. The second grants him the ability to jump higher than most people but this drains him of his strength and tires him. The third and most powerful ring enables him to teleport to medium distances up to 50 metres depending on his concentration and strength, this also drains him considerably more than the other two rings.

    Due to his being bullied when he was a kid, Cypher has developed a defensive attitude and will always insist that he is right.

    I based his image on this:

    As I think it looks quite cool and gives good character

    I need a story for him to go with his character, these are some of my ideas...

    Abducted by a cult for a mission
    Brainwashed
    Believes in dark magic
    Trained very hard by an extremely old sensei in an ancient martial arts
    Became the leader of the cult by killing the previous ones in secret

    I need more ideas as my brain is not working properly now...
    Also, please note that this is a villain for a secret MI5 spy or something or other, extreme fantasies won't work
    I will be grateful for all of you contributions. Thanks, that is all.

    Believes in dark magic and Became the leader of the cult by killing the previous ones in secret. If he studies dark magic he could also have necromancer powers.
    Isn't that "Adventure Quest" (if not it looks like it)?

    I have nothing else to say. Maybe you should include a little more about his background, and what he was like before he became dark?

    You dress all in black, from your front to your back, and all your evil ways seem to go for days. You smash it up burn it down, tear up the underground. There is no point of saving this town, screw pleasing those clowns, he should rather abuse condemn or slightly confuse them or kick them all when they're down. You knock down the doors, you fill up this room you destroy the place like your name was Dr. Doom, your a killer of culture a vulture of style and it wont be long until you wake up on trial.

    Don't make it cliche. Try something originail. Use metaphors, similes, personification etc. Correct gammar and puncuation helps. Use paragraphs, and double meanings. Blend complex and simple sentaces, and you are good.

    i just ripped those out of an awesome song. It is my view of a perfect supervillian.
