comment |
A series of Web Animations by Michael Swain (of Blockhead fame), Mastermind is about the eponymous Diabolical Mastermind and the day-to-day occurrences of his machinations to bring the world to its knees.The series begins here. In addition to the five episodes up to as of this writing, there is a spinoff RTS game, Mastermind: World Conqueror, as well as a spoof of the code-breaking board game, here. |

Genre Savvy: During a meeting wherein the Mastermind intends to pull a You Have Failed Me on one of his minions, they all refuse to reply when he asks if anyone knows why he called the meeting, having figured out that he's just going to kill whoever answers. Unfortunately, he manages to outsmart them; see Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!. |

Wave-Motion Gun: The Doom Laser. May or may not also be a Kill Sat. The Mastermind also keeps a smaller, portable version on hand for executions and the like. |

You Have Failed Me |
| | Mastermind (Web Animation) / int_474e3977 |
comment |
You Have Failed Me: Seems to do this at least once per meeting. He actually won't proceed with the point of the meeting until he's found an excuse to kill someone, regardless of what the meeting was called for in the first place. Unfortunately for him, his minions have gotten wise to his process, until one of them inadvertently answers the question of why he's called the meeting in the first place. And in the other case, when a minion doesn't remember, the trap door ended up just dropping him in the cafeteria. |

comment |
Big "WHAT?!": The Mastermind engages in this, but not because of anger or disbelief; he's just melodramatically asking his minions to repeat what they said to him. |

Art-Style Dissonance |
| | Mastermind (Web Animation) / int_57cd63e6 |
comment |
Art-Style Dissonance: The series has a gritty art-style and is reminiscent of comic books from the 80s and 90s, down to the character designs, yet it is a comedy series instead of a serious straight-laced web cartoon in the style of its comic book inspiration. |

Diabolical Mastermind Evil Overlord: What he's aiming for. N.G.O. Superpower: It's unknown exactly how the Mastermind makes his money (the game implies robbery and various legitimate side businesses), but he has a standing army of loyal minions and has the power base to wipe whole cities off the face of the planet. |
