| - (For canon.) The thing about Megamind that is the most true for both his supervillain persona and his real self is that he is incredibly intelligent. A legitimate genius, he is extremely gifted both at thinking on his feet and at coming up with involved plans ahead of time. Another thing that is always true of Megamind is that he has a huge ego -- In reality, it's about his intelligence, and his feelings of being a freak equal it. But when it supervillain mode? He is handsome, genius, talented, and all-around better than you in his mind. This is part of being a supervillain, but also part of compensating for his feelings of being a freakish outcast.

| - (For canon.) The thing about Megamind that is the most true for both his supervillain persona and his real self is that he is incredibly intelligent. A legitimate genius, he is extremely gifted both at thinking on his feet and at coming up with involved plans ahead of time. Another thing that is always true of Megamind is that he has a huge ego -- In reality, it's about his intelligence, and his feelings of being a freak equal it. But when it supervillain mode? He is handsome, genius, talented, and all-around better than you in his mind. This is part of being a supervillain, but also part of compensating for his feelings of being a freakish outcast. Now, for Megamind and villainy... It's a complicated relationship. He loves attention and proving his own genius, and being a supervillain gives him all that. He's the child who never got attention (or approval, but more on that later), and is still looking for it as an adult. (Or teenager, in the case of Melvin.). He doesn't actually want to win, deep down, though. Though at first it excites him, he likes the routine and even more so just enjoys the "game" -- every aspect of the fight and the planning before it thrills him -- and would hate for it to be over. He expects to lose... But he's still quite confident in his plans. It's complicated. But back on track. Does Megamind truly want to be evil? No, he'd much prefer the approval and positive feedback he never got as a child. But when everything he tried in early life got him labeled as bad, he decided it was his destiny to be evil. And oh boy, does Megamind believe in destiny. It'll take a lot to shake him out of that and see that people can shape their own lives. Megamind is not pleasant to most people. He's often obnoxious, and almost always childish and immature. To speak more to his childishness, we see he's easily amused and excited, and very spastic. He over-reacts to things and takes drastic measures, often takes the few friends he has for granted, and basically never admits to being wrong or makes apologies. He can never see his own ideas as bad, and his reputations is stupidly important to him. He doesn't fix his problems, instead just shifts his attention. Also, when he doesn't have a plan going, his on-his-feet thinking can be pretty stupidly impulsive. He will do just about anything to avoid embarrassment. However, he has his endearing and good traits, too. His almost adorable in his lack of social experience and pure awkwardness, and he's quite the romantic -- Not in a traditional sense, but he falls hard and fast and will do anything for the one he's taken with, including things that compromise his reputation. He's ultimately a caring friend, too, and incredibly enthusiastic. He puts his all into everything he does. Final note -- Megamind is a show-off. Dramatic, flashy, flamboyant, fashion-concious (doing his best to look like one spiffy supervillain), it can come off as pretty ridiculous. Also, he loves rock and roll, especially from the '80s.
