I was debating on whether I should post this in Random Discussion or General Autism as this is not to be a very serious thread, but as Random is supposedly for topics unrelated to autism, I chose this one.
So the reason I'm starting this is, I recently saw X-Men: First Class. And without wanting to spoil the movie for those who have not yet seen it, I must say the 'dark' side has never looked quite so tempting.
Now some of you may know that I am quite fond of the X-Men. Not just the franchise or the comic, but of the actual team itself, in-universe. However, after 50 years of X-Men comics, 3 cartoons and 4 movies, even I can see that their efforts remain fruitless. So, of late, I've turned to their radical counterpart, the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Cuz Magneto was right and Mystique's got a point.
Let's start a Brotherhood Of Evil Aspies. The whole co-existing, blending in with the rest of humankind has, for many of us (let's face it you guys), been tried and failed. So what I propose is that we form a team of supervillains, who will slowly but surely take from 'normal' baseline humans* what is rightfully ours (i.e. we will rob banks), infiltrate into governments throughout the world, and eventually subjugate all of mankind, who will be our servants in our new Aspie utopia.
One reason I think the Brotherhood is such a failure in the X-Men comics, however, is that unlike the X-Men, they don't really follow an ideology. Magneto or Mystique usually just gathers a band of mutant brigands who only care about getting paid. he ideology is only imposed by whoever is leader at the time, and all the others follow their orders like loyal underlings. Well that won't be the case for our Brotherhood! It's going to be completely democratic. If you have good ideas for villainous masterplans, great potential heists, or a nice recipes for when we're hanging out at our Aspi-Lair, your input would be more than welcome.
Also, if you're thinking "But Cyclops, how can I ever be a supervillain? I don't have super powers." Well, just think about whatever is your special interest, ability, or maybe even your quirk, and make that into your super villain super power. There's nothing a little bit of gamma radiation can't fix you up with.
Oh, and we WILL wear costumes, and we WILL use codenames. So who's with me? Please apply with your codename. My own codename will be Autistico, Master of Autism, with the ability to emit from my body an invisible Wall of Isolation which can repel anyone who attempts to come too close. (Yes I was gonna base it ony my special interest being wildlife and being able to communicate with all species of organism, but couldn't resist creating more Magneto parallels. So sue me. And I look great in red and purple.)
(*I'm not taking other disorders or disabilities -be it mental or physical- into consideration here. I wouldn't be very evil if I did. I mean, Magneto doesn't care about Inhumans or Atlanteans either.)
