I agree their are exceptions. But most Homo Superiors seem to be like Khan Noonien Singh, they know they are superior so they grab for control killing whoever stands in the way. An evil Homo Superior with a little common sense would make a nice change. Why can the risk of a war of conquest when you can simply make scads of money and buy your way into the power structure?

A Homo superior that acts like Khan Noonien Singh is an easy target. A Homo superior who acts like Lex Luthor in Ozymandias mode would be a real threat. Heck, given that Ozymandias con game was going to blow-up spectacularly, and lead to nuclear war, Adrian Alexander Veidt was a deadly Homo superior however you slice it.

But my point is, could we at least have a few Homo superiors that act like they've read the Evil Overlord List?
