What “Supervillain Origin Story Meter” actually measures

This calculator is a story generator disguised as a meter. You feed it a few classic “origin ingredients” — your name, a betrayal type, your glow‑up intensity, a petty trigger, an aesthetic, and a power source — and it returns:

• Origin Intensity Score (0–100): how cinematic your villain arc feels.
• Villain Title: the nickname people would whisper in Act II.
• Origin Synopsis: a short, shareable mini‑story written like a trailer voiceover.
• Signature Move: the one thing you do that makes heroes nervous.

It’s built for virality: the output is short enough for screenshots, but specific enough to feel personal. And because it’s deterministic, you can re‑run the same settings and get the same result (perfect for “prove it” comments).

Entertainment only. This is not a psychological assessment, not professional advice, and not destiny — it’s a fun way to turn everyday chaos into a fictional storyline.

The scoring recipe (simple, transparent, and remixable)

The meter uses a weighted score so it feels consistent across different inputs. Here’s the breakdown in plain English:

1. Name Spark (0–100): we convert the letters in your name into numbers (A=1, B=2 … Z=26), add them up, then mix in a small “salt” value. This creates a repeatable base score tied to your name.
2. Betrayal Weight: different betrayals get different intensity points. “Bestie betrayal” hits harder than “no betrayal… yet.”
3. Glow‑Up Intensity (0–10): this is the turbo button. Higher glow‑up means a stronger transformation arc, which pushes the score upward.
4. Petty Trigger: your villain button adds spice — the more universally relatable the trigger, the more it boosts shareability.
5. Aesthetic + Power: these don’t dominate the score; they mostly shape the story flavor (corporate villain vs mystic mage, weaponized charm vs strategy brain).

In math form, the site computes something like:

• Score = clamp( round( 0.35×NameSpark + 0.20×Betrayal + 0.25×GlowUpBoost + 0.10×Trigger + 0.05×Aesthetic + 0.05×Power ), 0, 100 )

Why these weights? In viral quiz design, the “identity anchor” (your name) should matter, but the “story hook” (betrayal + glow‑up) should matter more. That’s what makes the result feel both personal and dramatic. The last 10% is cosmetic: it changes the vibe without making the meter swing wildly.

If you ever want your score to jump quickly, increase Glow‑Up Intensity or switch to a heavier betrayal. If you want a more “quiet menace” result, pick the Quiet mastermind aesthetic and Strategy brain power.

Three sample origin stories (so you know what to expect)

Example 1: “Corporate Villain” arc

• Name: Alex
• Betrayal: Someone stole your credit
• Glow‑Up: 8
• Trigger: Reply‑all chaos
• Aesthetic: Corporate villain
• Power: Money + receipts

Output vibe: high score, lots of “receipts,” a calm tone, and a signature move that sounds like a strategy memo. Perfect for “I’m done being nice at work” posts.

Example 2: “Mystic Shadow Mage” arc

• Name: Sam
• Betrayal: Situationship plot twist
• Glow‑Up: 6
• Trigger: Left on read
• Aesthetic: Mystic shadow mage
• Power: Weaponized charm

Output vibe: mid‑high score, poetic story lines, “shadow” language, and a title that sounds like it belongs in a fantasy trailer. Great for “romantic villain era” screenshots.

Example 3: “Chaotic Gremlin” arc

• Name: Taylor
• Betrayal: Group chat turned on you
• Glow‑Up: 5
• Trigger: Wi‑Fi betrayal
• Aesthetic: Chaotic gremlin
• Power: Chaotic luck

Output vibe: meme‑y, fast, chaotic, and oddly iconic. This one tends to produce the most share‑worthy “I did nothing and still caused the plot” captions.

Tip for maximum virality: run the meter for your friends and post the highest score with the shortest villain title. Short titles look better in TikTok overlays and story stickers.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this based on real psychology?

  No — it’s a fun, fictional scoring system inspired by story tropes. The output is designed to be entertaining and shareable, not diagnostic.

• Why does my name change the score?

  The name creates a repeatable “identity anchor.” It ensures your result doesn’t feel totally random, and it makes your story stable for screenshots and re‑sharing.

• Can I get a higher score?

  Yes: increase your glow‑up intensity, pick a heavier betrayal (bestie/family/credit), and choose a high‑impact trigger like “reply‑all chaos” or “left on read.” Then screenshot it.

• Does “low score” mean I’m a good person?

  Not necessarily — it just means your origin story is currently more “mild inconvenience” than “cinematic betrayal montage.” You can always reroll with a different trope for fun.
