About this listen
In a world where "human" is only the beginning, and people can become something more, some will rise above, and become superheroes. But for every hero, there must be a villain. What drives someone to become a supervillain, and take on the heroes of the world? What would the life of someone who has accepted that they are no longer part of "normal" society and devotes themselves to their own dreams and goals be like? What if a supervillain decided to write his memoirs, and speak about all these things?
This is the memoir of the Supervillain known to the world as Iceblade. It chronicles his achievements and his failures, his loves and his losses. Learn about the theft of the Mona Lisa, the subjugation of Lady Victory, and the slaughter of the Holy Order of the Word. Hear for the first time about the death of Bytegeist. All from the point of view of the man himself.
The setting is a world of superheroes and sci-fi, and our main character, who may not be the most powerful out there, but is willing to do whatever it takes to win. No matter the cost. He is not a hero. He is not an anti-hero. He is not a vigilante. He is a villain, and knows what he is. He is amoral but ethical.
Rated R: Definite language, violence, gore, sex, and all the horrible things that can happen in the world. If you have triggers, consider this your warning.

We read villains because they're magnificent bastards, because we're waiting to see them fail, or because they have an interesting perspective or code.
Iceblade is not magnificent, he's a petty thug that the author overpowered enough to make him win every fight. He never struggles, never has to outthink, or outfox, every victory is handed to him.
He receives no comeuppance or karmic payback, pays no price for his power.
And the code. Oh, gods the code. He likes to preach about he only does things for one of two reasons 'they paid me' or 'revenge'. Unless he suddenly decides to just do the right thing, or because he wants to fuck the person he's doing it to. The attempt to make him a 'villain with a code' is paper-thin.
Bad villain, and I don't mean evil.
