A cyborg. An evil cyborg.
I've always had a loose fascination with prosthetic limbs and artificial replacements for body parts. I'd like to think that if I suffer a horrible accident, there'd be enough of me left to affix some super-strong arms and legs to, add in a few bionic eyes, some superb breathing technology and a few bits of gadgetry here and there.
Ideally, thanks to this, I'd be probably a bit fitter or more capable (but more evil) than I am now. That sort of thing would lend itself well to becoming a villain, and I doubt I'd go down the Inspector Gadget or Robocop route with it.
In fact, if I do become horribly maimed at any point and start having bits of me (teeth are excluded, I've had fillings...) replaced then I promise all you Sinners to become evil.
As an aside, an artificial leg'd be awesome. You could build a minifridge into the thigh, a laptop in there, some projector apparatus, some spare rope, tools and whatnot. And that'd just be in the legs alone. Bionic arms go a whole extra distance...why have only one lower arm joined on at your elbow when you could have seven and a few other tricks too?

"There is only ever one truth. Things are always black or white, there's no such thing as a shade of grey. If you think that something is a shade of grey it simply means that you don't fully understand the situation. The truth is narrow and the path of the pursuit of truth is similarly narrow."
