Muhahahahaha! It’s time to rule the world. You can do this post too by teaming up with the Bionic Bookworm.
This week’s top 5 is such an interesting one. Which characters would I pick to team up with and rule the world? There’s nothing that says I can’t rule the world in a just way, being fair to all within my realm. But what fun is that to imagine?
Darrow au Andromedus
Because of my current read (and the one before) Darrow is the first one that jumps to mind. His strategic mind, ability to get people behind him, and his willingness to do just about anything make him the perfect partner. Hopefully he brings his pal Sevro along. I think we might need him.
Rand al’Thor
Also known as the Dragon Reborn, this guy just thinks about something and that something happens. He’s a swordmaster, I know enough to not cut my own hand off (probably). He’s basically a Jedi with his mind abilities, I can… think of stuff I want him to use his powers on. What a team! Rand can also handle all the diplomatic stuff that I’d have little to no interest in.
Tyrion Lannister
The man’s a damn genius. He drinks and he knows things. I also drink, and I know a few things: nothing that would help win a war, but does he know that an ostrich’s brain is about the same size as its eyeball? Think about it. I have value, too.
Lord Voldemort
Did you just audibly gasp? Maybe the Dark Lord isn’t a popular choice, but the man (is he still a man?) has ambition, doesn’t he? One of the best magicians there has ever been, and I’m pretty sure he could get some pretty good seats for the Quidditch World Cup.
Superman
I don’t have to explain this one, do I? The guy is basically limitless power. He’s normally too good, too ethical, for world domination, but there have been a few times when someone was able to make him realize some of his more dictatorial potential.
OMG your list is AMAZING! How did I not think of Tyrion Lannister?! I’m ashamed of myself. No really. He’s one of my favourite book characters ever!
Audible gasp – He Who Must Not Be Named? What were you thinking? Ok, you totally explained what you were thinking but, you know what I mean. Smart thinking but good luck trying to rein him in. And when you do, I’ll take a seat to the Quiddich World Cup please 🙂
Rein HIM in? Good to luck to him on trying to rein ME in! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been standing in line at War-Mart wishing I had a stupefy spell.
I think Tyrion is just a prerequisite for world conquering.
