Canon history:
Here!AU history: Megamind is caught up to the death of Metro Man, and the celebratory city-decimation that followed.
For weeks, he had been sitting in the mayor’s office, surrounded by filthy, glorious lucre, staring out the fantastic invention that is a window. Metrocity was his. Evil had prevailed. Justice was dead. This was everything he had ever wanted...
It started as boredom. Eventually, they ran out of buildings to vandalize, precious artifacts to steal or destroy--there were only so many banks to rob, warehouses to ransack. People to terrorize.
And he wasn’t happy. He was miserable. Melon-coh-lee, even, and he didn’t know why. It was after watching a newscast by one Roxanne Ritchi, he truly let it hit him. The game was over. Metro Man was dead. Megamind realized he no longer had a purpose. There was no one to oppose him, no good to rise up, and he had nothing but a city full of frightened people. After hearing her heartfelt words about the fallen hero, he decided to pay a visit to the Metro Man museum...and say goodbye.
After giving the large effigy his last respects--and a bundle of yellow roses--, he wandered to the lobby to check on the explosives the Brainbots were fixing to the base structure. Coming to the front doors of the museum, he found a letter taped to the glass. With his name.
For the longest time, he stood outside, reading the invitation over and over, greatly torn. Metrocity had been all he ever truly wanted, and though the town had been played, he was uncertain if he really wanted to leave. And to -teach-, of all things. But maybe...maybe this school could have the opposition he’d been missing. Perhaps there was some superhero, just -waiting- to be arched. And so, with a triumphant laugh, he made a pledge to the night sky that he would FIND his other half, and their battles would live on in infamy--
Unfortunately, he forgot about the timer on the explosives. He’s awfully good at running, though. So, uninjured and cautiously optimistic, Megamind ventured to the Academy, vowing to find his new nemesis and cause destruction and decimation for all who crossed his path. Also, tenure.
Personality: Megamind is extraordinarily smug. Really, just--ridiculous amounts of smug, superiority, arrogance, and confidence. The kind of confidence that just makes you want to sock him in the jaw. He’s also ruthless, callous, insane, and ready to level a city at any given moment.
That’s the supervillain persona.
He’s perfected his public image so well, there’s no one in Metrocity that could imagine him any other way. He’s an incredibly vain person, obsessing over his ‘bad’ image, impressive brain power, and various smoke filled, music laden entrances. He’s so focused on himself, he’s completely crippled his abilities of really getting to know anybody else. At least, as himself. He would have make someone almost completely out of whole cloth to become to be comfortable enough to make any kind of connection with another person (as canon dictates).
That said, if you look close...really close, closer than you’d probably want to, he really is just a damaged kid crying out for some kind of acceptance. Not that he’d ever, in his wildest dreams, admitto that. He has a need to impress and dazzle, making shows out of every plot he’s constructed. This carries over from his childhood of wanting the same praise and acceptance his more impressive classmate--and future nemesis--received. Things affect him very deeply, and he lashes out because of it.
And, being so secretly sensitive, he does care deeply for his only true friend--and right-hand fish--Minion. He’s not incapable of love. Only bewildered by it. Also, he’s kind’ve a jerk.
Appearance:
Classes: Teaching, Applicable Sciences and Technologies
Greatest Fear: Failure. Amounting to nothing in the great scheme of things. Being nothing, having nothing...and, ultimately, being alone. He very heavily measures his worth by attention, let it be negative or positive. If no one pays attention, then...he’s no one. He’s worthless.
