About this listen
In a world where "human" is only the beginning, and people can become something more, some will rise above, and become superheroes. But for every hero, there must be a villain. What drives someone to become a supervillain, and take on the heroes of the world? What would the life of someone who has accepted that they are no longer part of "normal" society and devotes themselves to their own dreams and goals be like? What if a supervillain decided to write his memoirs, and speak about all these things?
This is the memoir of the Supervillain known to the world as Iceblade. It chronicles his achievements and his failures, his loves and his losses. Learn about the theft of the Mona Lisa, the subjugation of Lady Victory, and the slaughter of the Holy Order of the Word. Hear for the first time about the death of Bytegeist. All from the point of view of the man himself.
The setting is a world of superheroes and sci-fi, and our main character, who may not be the most powerful out there, but is willing to do whatever it takes to win. No matter the cost. He is not a hero. He is not an anti-hero. He is not a vigilante. He is a villain, and knows what he is. He is amoral but ethical.
Rated R: Definite language, violence, gore, sex, and all the horrible things that can happen in the world. If you have triggers, consider this your warning.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee. But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.

Story
Eddie Marr never planned to be a supervillain, but it seemed like a surefire way to become rich and famous. All he had to do was come up with a flashy costume, a signature gimmick, and commit a couple of high profile (yet nonviolent) crimes. Eddie figured he'd eventually get caught and spend a year or two in a minimum security prison. Then he'd write a tell-all book, do the talk show circuit, and parlay that into a regular TV hosting gig.

More leveling up. More killing. More stuff. So far, Dantem has enjoyed being the Bad Guy. He’s conquered cities, taken empires, and killed heroes. Unfortunately, until now, his chance at revenge and world domination has escaped him. But if he plays his cards right, and is more bad than ever before, he might just have one shot at killing all the people who have ever wronged him, taking their stuff, and then hearing the cries of their women.

Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content.

Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Have you ever woken up, rolled over, and thought to yourself, “I’m pretty sure I’m working for a Super Villain.” If you haven’t, then maybe you’re not the type of person to work for a global corporation. Edmund, however, is just such an individual. He works for Legion: a corporation of unimaginable reach that he barely understands, a corporation that seems determined to put itself smack dab in the middle of a brewing civil war between Super Heroes and Super Villains.

An experimental ASI with a terminal case of curiosity reached out and tampered with the universe in a way that it should not have, and unleashed a torrent of energy we would call magic into our galaxy. Humans, and every other intelligent lifeform for that matter, were ill-prepared, physically and mentally, for such an eventuality. In an effort to save itself, the ASI hastily created something it called the Framework to shape and codify this magical energy, and usher in a new world. A world of classes, levels, and extraordinary power. But also a world of monsters.

This fourth wall-breaking, three-book collection showcases Jackson's adventures through fantasy realms, comic book universes, and classic space opera settings. Each fast-paced novel allows Jackson to flex his powers, skills, and wits as he exploits the rules, points out the respective genre's flaws, and undermines godly authority to win the day. All the while laughing at the expense of our beloved tropes. Because that is what villains should do, shouldn’t they?

Minalan gave up a promising career as a professional warmage to live the quiet life of a village spellmonger in the remote mountain valley of Boval. It was a peaceful, beautiful little fief, far from the dangerous feudal petty squabbles of the Five Duchies, on the world of Callidore. There were cows. Lots of cows. And cheese. For six months things went well: He found a quaint little shop, he befriended the local lord, the village folk loved him, he found a sharp young apprentice to help out, and, best yet, he met a comely young widow with the prettiest eyes.

Great book!
Engaging story and solid narration!
The story of a young man who gains powers and how he copes, adjusts, and grows with them.
This is the story of an unapologetic villain - well written and narrated, but villainous.
The negative reviews have more to do with people being offended by the MC's choices than quality of writing and narration. If you can't handle villainous choices don't read a book about a villain - and don't smear it because you didn't like it. (you can tell some of them were reviews from people who don't care for the genera, but got the book for free)
This is an interesting look into the behind the scenes world of supers.
fun and well worth a credit

Voice Actor was Adequate, Story needs more tact
Voice Actor: Davids ok. just comes off like a bit cheesy more then I care for
Story: It's not a bad story, it just falls prey to 2 major flaws:
1) MC never really works for his McGuffans
2) The Rape/ Slave fantasy is in poor taste. Leave it to our imaginations, dont play out your fantasies (this is worse then the overly descriptive and sexual Bard at a D&D table)

Interesting Story, Great Narrator
"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."
First, the book was read by an excellent narrator, I really enjoyed his style and speaking manner. I’ll definitely look for other books he narrates.
The story was interesting, as the title suggests... it’s a memoir of a super villain. It felt like a series of short stories that didn’t always flow together perfectly; but it’s a memoir, so that makes sense. I will say that there was a NSFW section right at the end that didn’t really add anything in my opinion. Violence was present but not excessive.

good story with a few problematic issues
while this story was overall quite enjoyable, the unnecessarily graphic sex scenes in an otherwise good story were quite jarring and didn't fit the tone of the rest of the piece.

AN AWESOME BOOK & A BIT OF SEXY TIME TOO!
Totally enjoyed it! A fresh look at the making of a villain and his origin story. Also, a bit of some old trashy romance novel added in the mix was a total surprise and great!

From the other point of view
Memoirs of a Supervillain is a surprising gem. The author has written an overall well flowing story. There are a few bumps, but they in no way detract from the enjoyment.
Be warned though, this is not for kids. there are moral and adult themes that are not appropriate for a younger audience
.David Quimby does an excellent job of narration.

"Iceblade Rocks"
Great author, great narrator, great plot. Iceblade is a great character and would enjoy reading more about his exploits. This was a refreshing take on the whole superhero/supervillain storyline. I would recommend this book to anyone. Well worth the time and credit. Stuart, any more forthcoming adventures?

Not really one of my favorites
I was hoping for a fun schlocky/underdog story with maybe a redemption arc like Confessions of a D-List Supervillain.
Instead this Mary Sue protagonist walks into a series of free power ups and becomes the most feared villain in the world because of how he murders the families of those who wrong him.
He also gets a ring of sexual mind control and spends the rest of the book raping and mind controlling his way to victory.
Not really my thing.

I really enjoyed this story
I received this book free in exchange for a review. I totally enjoyed this story. The main character started humble and built himself into a powerhouse. The flow of the book kept me engaged and I listened to all of the book in one sitting. I hope there is more stories to come and I recommend this story to all superhero or villain fans.
