Top A.I. Tools and Baddest A.I. Villains

Case Study: National Supervillains Come to Life by Midjourney

Hey Guys, sometimes it’s just fun to see how A.I. is entertaining.

Fair warning, this is a light-hearted post. Skim the Villains and get to the Tools down below. Honestly though, who doesn't like a good listicle?

Generative AI artist Lucas Freitas used Midjourney to turn 41 countries into supervillains. I guess we could call them a prompt-engineer artist, or whatever the contemporary term might be.

So let’s take a quick visual inspection of his work and make a tour of the countries and their myths and mythological in the era of text-to-image solutions. Midjourney has its own vibe.

Many of the national supervillains seem inspired by folklore, the prompt was likely nudged in that direction.

How to Midjourney

Midjourney is great because of the low barrier to use, just hop on a Discord and you are nearly there.

Users interact with Midjourney by issuing commands through a Discord application (known as a “bot”).

The command takes the form, /imagine prompt {PROMPT TEXT}, with users able to set various flags and other settings to get a specific image from Midjourney.

The order is going to be somewhat random:

Lucas said:

We generated this article’s title image in Midjourney with the prompt “Supervillains representing several countries walking towards camera with an explosion in the background”.

Don’t be too scared okay, these aren’t real - they are only A.I. generated.

I’ll start with the baddie countries first.

To see the rest you can check them out here.

I found them surprisingly entertaining, now let's head over to some more utility, in case you missed it.
