If we go with a superweapon/global control plan, this is what we'd need to do:
1) Gather materials. This sounds simple, but can attract significant amounts of law enforcement. And usually entails vast quantities of rare materials, such as a boatload of kryptonite.
2) Support. By establishing territorial control or recruiting the unwashed masses, we need to provide the existing militaries of the world with a strong argument against interference. Or secrecy. That's always a classic defense.
3) Proactive defense. Obviously, the JLA is going to try and stop us. So we need to kill their orbital laser space station and take out as many of them as possible before step 4.
So we have three goals: Gather materials, eliminate the JLA, and ensure the military won't try to stop us.
4) The climactic showdown. In the final hour before the superweapon's deployment, the remaining members of the JLA and a few citizens who wish to die as heroes will show up to stop us. If we haven't weakened the JLA or provided a strong argument for national militaries to let us win, we will lose.

Additional thoughts from the current brainstorming session: The plan doesn't have to make sense. Massively overcomplicated nonsense is still fun, especially if it could all be used to quickly and easily do something sensible.
Edit: and that emotionally blackmailing heroes in some way might be a good step 3.

Current plan progress:
How about we combine a space laser, a stolen missile submarine, a plastic army man maker, fricken sharks with fricken laser beams, an elephant, a giant robot, and a barbershop pole the hold the UN hostage so we can buy Taco Bell and the continent of Australia!

Putting a bump in here for people to continue planning discussions.
Once you have your evil plan organized(and if some of you already did one on chat, you have to put it in the thread first) then I'll show you the character creation rules.
THAT should be good motivation.

Okay lets get something ordered up. Potential Goals, as I see them:
1. Destroy the world: Always fun. Requires us to be a bit crazy since it doesn't really benefit us, but we can be extremists of some sort. Probably accomplished with some sort of super-weapon, or crazy time-space distortion.
2. World Domination: Power, unlimited power. A pretty normal super-villain goal, with plenty of reasonable explanations of why we would want to do it. Could be accomplished through either mass corruption, mind control, or threats of using force/a super-weapon.
3. Untold Riches: Money is Power. Another standard Agenda, again with lots of easy explanations. This one would usually be through holding the world ransom in some way, and absolutely under no circumstances will be accomplished via a long series of minor robberies.
4. Mass Evolution: Extreme Darwinism of some sort. We believe that genetic engineering, cyborg upgrades, mental enhancement, or some other change is the future of the human race, and will stop at nothing to put it into place. I have no ideas on how to accomplish this though.
5. Conquer Australia: Establish our own nation. Essentially the same as world domination, just on a smaller scale.
6. Revenge: Served cold. Some group or individual in the past has wronged us, and we are out to make them suffer for it. Maybe we want destroy their resources, ruin their reputation, torture everyone they love in front of them, or just kill them slowly and painfully. Endless possibilities once we decide on a target.
7. Destroy the Vegetable trade: WE WILL NEVER EAT OUR GREENS AGAIN! AND THE FRUIT WILL BE NEXT! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, that's what I could come up with (albeit with some help) and it seems a decent starting place for the discussion. Personally I favour World Domination, but I'm an old-style evil overlord like that. I'm pretty happy as long as we get a few dramatic showdowns and a few decent villain monologues.

A combination of 2, 5, and 6 would be great, IMO.

Definitely 2 or 4, with a bit of 6 on the side.

I'd like 5. 2 is my second choice. 6 my third.
3, 1 and 7 aren't my thing.

Because that's too easy!
Seriously, though, where's the fun in that?

Well it seems there is a general consensus that 6 (Revenge) is a good side-goal or character motivation, whilst 2 (World Domination) is slightly beating out 1 (Planetary Annihilation) as the main goal. Unless something about that changes overnight, I'll throw up some thoughts as to a plan for Conquering the World

World Domination and Revenge are tied for top spot, but those two can easily be worked into a plan together. Conquer Australia sits in a nice third place. The lowest was Untold Riches, followed by Crush the veggie trade, thank Darkseid, followed by Mass Evolution and Destroy the World.
The Plan has basically been decided on: conquer the world with a side dose of revenge. Now it's time for you to start coming up with plans and plans to do that.
