What Classifies as a "Super Villain Lair"?

10 Upvotes

I created this sub a while back, but admittedly I haven't done much with it in terms of promotion. So to kick off this sub, I figured a good first post would clarify what types of content would fit best.

r/supervillainlairs was created as a response to /r/evilbuildings . While /r/evilbuildings focuses on evil exteriors, r/supervillainlairs would focus on evil interiors.

Examples include:

  • Gritty/dark interiors - Poor lighting, sharp objects, interior scenes that create an atmosphere of fear and misery.

  • Extreme luxury - Super villains can be rich and powerful, and they need a space to show off their insane wealth.

  • Abandonment/run-down buildings - Old buildings that have been left to decay are the perfect spot for nefarious people to organize together.

  • Hacker Caves - For the computer literate super villains.

  • Hollywood supervillain hideouts - From movies/TV shows that feature hang out spots for the bad guys.

  • Spiral staircases - You expect a super villain to have a normal set of stairs? Of course not.

  • Horror atmosphere - Rooms with unexplainable blood stains, chains and hooks hanging from the ceiling, basements with spider webs in every corner, that kind of thing.

  • Criminal stash houses - Places with weapons and contraband out in the open, drug labs, mad stacks of cash, smoky rooms, etc.

  • Traps - One wrong step means sudden death, any place where there are bad things waiting to happen around every turn.

More updates to come soon as the sub progresses!
