I started out in a rough place. I'll explain that in a moment, but before I do, I just want you to know, I'm still in a rough place.

You probably know me. I'm all over the place these days, you know what I mean... on the news and stuff mostly, and otherwise. I'm what's known as a villain. Like, an evil one. I go around causing general havoc so people like Excellent Man have something to do. Based off my attitude you'd think I was born a cold-hearted cackling freak, but the villain thing was actually kind of a recent development, and it's quite controversial. You see, back in the day, I actually went and got a PhD, somehow (hence the Dr. part of Dr. Marshall), and went on to work with UCAH as a Heroic Scientist. I helped work on the gadgets and explosives and whatnot, engineering stuff. I crossed the floor about 4 years ago, sources would say I "lost my temper" and that I'm "impulsive and dangerous", but I think I was pretty justified in my decision to destroy the entire east wing of a building. Let's just say UCAH didn't like that. They would have kicked me out, that was strike three, but I quit first. I invented a ray gun and went on my way. Got registered as a villain when I first planted a bomb somewhere and interrupted radio broadcasts to tell everyone. Fun times...

I changed my mind, I won't tell you anything about my life story before then. I guess the point is, I grew up rich, wealthy parents, yada yada, they're dead now, and everyone assumed I was going to be evil from the start. I was never an empathetic person, so I understood where they were coming from.
It's easier this way, anyway. I don't think I could have kept that up for much longer in any universe.
