A/N: It must be said here that some of the Ridonculous Race racers are going to be supervillains rather than superheroes; characters from the Race whom I'd consider more antagonistic than heroic will have a supervillain identity. What are superheroes without supervillains, after all? This chapter covers the first of those supervillains from TDPTRR.

By the way, if any readers are interested, I've started adding catchphrases to the superheroes in previous chapters, and will continue to do so with future heroes and villains, including this one. Check them out if you'd like.


Real Name: Taylor

Supervillain Identity: Cruelanity

Powers: Cruelanity has the power to command ice and fire, making her double trouble in a fight. She also has shiny claws sheathed within her fingernails which pop out and slash at her foes, which she's often seen sharpening with a rough metal file, and she can conduct and manipulate electricity without being harmed by it herself.

Weaknesses: Cruelanity's major weakness is water. It puts out her fires and messes up her electric attacks, as well as make her precious makeup run and her stylish hair soaked. She underestimates the value of human life in her enemies' hearts, too, like many villains.

Super Suit: She dresses in a striking yellow and pink dress, tight and gleaming, has thick rouge makeup and blood-red lipstick on her face, wears lavender high heels, and carries her nail file and a big, air-tearing baton.


Back Story: Taylor was born with schizophrenia and started developing sociopathy as she started growing up. She spent her whole childhood persuading her parents to spoil her, and her father fell for it and got many things for her to make her feel so much better than others. Her mother, Kelly, however, was less enthusiastic about spoiling Taylor, but unfortunately, Kelly was somewhat weak and ineffectual around her strong-willed daughter, and was coerced into humoring Taylor too. Still, Taylor grew up firmly believing that most people, including her mother, should spend more time satisfying her before themselves, and that she didn't have to do them any favors, because she saw herself as the center of the world.

As her pride and vanity increased with age, she discovered one day through some study of Greek mythology that she was apparently a spiritual descendant of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and pleasure, and she reached the conclusion that the world must know that she was the most beautiful of them all, and anyone whose beauty was exalted higher than hers deserved to be harshly punished. She also learned through "circumstantial accidents" that she possessed god-like powers with which she could punish her rivals as she saw fit. Now, taking the name Cruelanity, with no shame for its vile implications, Taylor and her life-size, robotic, Barbie doll army invade beauty pageants and modeling photoshoots and mess up the other womens' potential to be beautiful in their own right. She also tried to bribe or blackmail men and boys into thinking she was the fairest of all, and not their own lovers and spouses.

Villainous Example: Cruelanity once had her Barbie robots abduct a large number of international female models and brought them back to her secret base, the Crue Manor. Then she used a machine to drain the beauty of the models by aging them prematurely by 15 years, and magically absorbed their beauty into her own body to retain her own youth. Finally, she dumped the models back at the fashion shoot where they were abducted with erased memories and no clues to them or the police as to how they suddenly looked older than they actually were.

Catchphrase: "Don't you DARE blasphemy my vanity!"
