superscience n. … science beyond what is possible based on known laws
“known laws” such as…
§ 2-207. A definite and seasonable expression of acceptance or a written confirmation which is sent within a reasonable time operates as an acceptance even though it states terms additional to or different from those offered or agreed upon, unless acceptance is expressly made conditional on assent to the additional or different terms.
no science shall be tolerated where unknown laws prevail! --the punisher

Just yesterday I finished a book that’s ~2/3 in the first person about a budding supervillain.
It seemed long… turns out it was 7000 pages. No regrets! For a much shorter supervillain story let me recommend “Soon I Will Be Invincible” by Austin Grossman (brother of the Magicians author Lev and the 3d printer artist Bathsheba – what a family!).
