A supervillain or supervillainess is a criminal variant of the villainous stock character archetype commonly found in American comic books and sometimes possesses superhuman abilities. A supervillain is the antithesis of a superhero.
Supervillains are often used as foils and could present a daunting challenge to the superhero. In instances where the supervillain does not have superhuman, mystical, or alien powers, the supervillain may possess a genius intellect or a skill set that allows him or her to draft complex schemes or commit crimes in a way normal humans cannot. Other traits may include a megalomaniac streak and possession of considerable resources to help further their aims. Many supervillains share some typical characteristics of real world dictators, mobsters, and terrorists, with aspirations of world domination or universal leadership.
The Joker, Lex Luthor, Loki, Magneto, Doctor Doom, Darkseid, Venom, Ra's al Ghul, Galactus, Apocalypse, and the Green Goblin are some well-known comic book supervillains in popular culture and have been adapted to film and television. Some notable examples of female supervillains are Catwoman, Mystique, Harley Quinn, Talia al Ghul, and the Dark Phoenix.
Powerman 5000 (sometimes abbreviated to PM5K) is an American rock band formed in 1991. The group has released seven albums over the course of their career and gained their highest commercial success with 1999's Tonight the Stars Revolt!, which reached No. 29 on the Billboard 200 album chart while spawning the top 40 hits "When Worlds Collide" and "Nobody's Real". Their latest release, Builders of the Future, came out in 2014 through T-boy records, and the group has been on tour in support of the album. Frontman and only original member and rapper Spider One is the younger brother of fellow metal musician Rob Zombie.
In 1991, Spider dropped out of art school, bought a cheap 4-track home studio and drum machine and recorded Much Evil with producer Lamar Lowder. Building on local success, Powerman 5000 was born. In 1992 drummer Al Pahanish Jr., bassist Dorian Heartsong and guitarist Adam 12 joined the band. In 1994 and 1995, Powerman released two independent records, True Force and The Blood-Splat Rating System. Both albums were local successes. In 1996, they performed on the second stage of Ozzfest and appeared in an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 where David and Donna filmed a music video for their song "Strike the Match".

Ah hey!
You're dressin' all in black
From your front to your back
And all your evil ways
They seem to go on for days
And as a matter of fact
You got one more night before ya
Smash it up, burn it down
Tearing up the underground
You wanna live like a super villain
Back in the line up
Before your time's up
You wanna live like a super villain
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go
No one is savin' this town
Fuck all those pricks and those clowns
I know you'd rather abuse
Condemn or slightly confuse
Kick 'em all when they're down
And just for fun, you're gonna
Smash it up, burn it down
Tearing up the underground
You wanna live like a super villain
Back in the line up
Before your time's up
You wanna live like a super villain
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go
There's nowhere to go when you're on your own
You don't care about what's wrong or what is right
All right, all right, you've been knockin' down these doors
You've been filling up this room
You're been runnin' 'round the place like your name was Dr. Doom
You're a killer of culture, a vulture of style
And it won't be that long before you end up on trial
Smash it up, burn it down
Tearing up the underground
You wanna live like a super villain
Back in the line up
Before your time's up
You wanna live like a super villain
Like a super villain
Like a super villain
Yeah
Like a super villain
There's nowhere to go
Like a super villain
There's nowhere to go
