{{quote|''It is only proper that the world be set to rights. However, if we were to unite the entire world the ignorant masses would be unable to keep pace. Therefore, we will start here. And just to be extra prudent and avoid pushing ourselves too hard, we will go one step further and focus here. Conquering one city is a reasonable plan that allows for some leeway for setbacks, don't you think?''|'''Lord Il Palazzo, ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'''''}}

[[Super Villain|Supervillains]] are, as a rule, [[Ambition Is Evil|ambitious]]. From your typical [[Evil Overlord]] to a [[Mad Scientist]] to [[Pinky and The Brain|a pair of lab mice]], any bad guy worth their [[Spikes of Villainy]] will have a grand plan to [[Take Over the World]].
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'' had one [[Mad Scientist]] who tried that.
* ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'' only has one villain try to take over the world in one episode; the rest war over New York City.
* ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'' has Megabyte mostly focus on taking over the city of Mainframe. He would rather go after the Supercomputer but he'll settle for the city he's stuck in. [[The Bad Guy Wins|When he succeeds]] he tries to leave for the Supercomputer as soon as possible.
* In Disney's ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', most villains really only want to take over (or destroy) Agrabah. Even Jafar, though he definitely cared about having a lot of ''magical'' power, never seemed to extend his political reach beyond Agrabah.
