There's this really cool arc where you play security at EvilCon (okay, the arc is "Conference of Evil" and the mission is "Secure the Conference"... I like playing security at EvilCon. I get in free that way! )

The Center: "While we wait for this to begin, I have one question I'd like to voice, which I'm sure is on everyone's mind."
Tub Ci: "Why have we been gathered here?"
Countess Crey: "What is Lord Recluse's masterplan?"
Dreck: "Is this going to be open bar?"
The Center: "No. The question we should all be asking is:"
The Center: "What is Nemesis doing here?"
Nemesis: "A good question, which will be answered just about..."
Nemesis: "Now."
Longbow Officer: "This is a Longbow action!"
Longbow Ballista: "You are all under arrest!"

Tub Ci: "How did they find us?"
Nemesis: "Elementary! I told them!"
Tub Ci: "WHAT?"
Countess Crey: "WHAT?"
Sebastian Frost: "WHAT?"
Dreck: "WHAT?"
Arakhn: "WHAT?"
Requiem: "WHAT?"
Longbow Officer: "WHAT?"
Longbow Ballista "WHAT?"
...
The Center: "And this is why I never invite Nemesis to anything."
...
Arakhn: "This is all your fault, Requiem!"
Requiem: "This is all your fault, Arakhn!"

I was willing to give them a fair shot, free from (what I perceived as) fanboyism to Frank Herbert. But Hunters and Sandworms were just lousy vehicles for all their other Dune books....that was disappointing.

Calvin Scott could be Duncan Idaho...I guess :/

To throw out a point with practically no context, I'd like to differentiate between "evil" and "malicious." While I could easily call every act of pure malice evil and not bat an eye, not every act of evil is malicious, or indeed intentional. As has been mentioned before, most evil people don't sit around in their swivel chairs, pet their cat and think "I am so evil that I can't stand myself. Oh, my!"

Actually, that wouldn't surprise me either. Thing is, that will only last until the Resistance starts talking about the horrible things that Tyrant and his crew do on a fairly regular basis. At some point, some Villains are going to sit back and think "Damn, that guy certainly sounds like he knows how to have a good time." Of course it will only help matters when turning traitor to the Resistance would involve handing over Resistance cell (of course, I doubt the players would get that option, but we're talking story time here) especially when their arch nemesis Cape-Guy has just joined up.

Oh, and Golden Girl? I did finally find a comic book character that would agree with the Mind Police, genetic cleansing, and punishment before the crime style of 'crime-fighting' which Tyrant uses. Meet Lock-Up. One of Batman's villains. So yeah, yet again, the only people interested in teaming with Tyrant are the bad guys.

EDIT: MORE evidence! Let's say you're right, and Tyrant is to lead people to darkness, and The Resistance to the light. Why would the character ever leave Praetoria? If he's just become a Villain, he's already in a pretty cushy position of power where he can abuse his new found love of Evil, and there hasn't been a single Player Character in the history of the game self-motivated to ever be a threat to Tyrant's Rule, so he's set for life.

And for the newly reformed Hero in the Resistance? Well, I highly doubt they are EVER going to have the Resistance win. Dethroning Tyrant means the story for their first paid expansion is over. For everyone. Until that time, leaving the Resistance just to go back home would be abandoning people in a desperate time of need.
