so like ... reminder that i personally do hc komaeda as hating talent ( for a detailed explanation you can read my hc here ) but that’s relevant because i’m like ... thinking about a mastermind verse and what that would entail.
i do think that in an MM verse komaeda’s goal would be to eradicate talent from the world. not so much like ... killing everyone who has a talent , as that would be a pointless endeavor ( kill someone w/ talent , whoever the runner up was will merely become the new talent by default and even if enough people died to break the cycle that’s ... a lot of people and frankly it’s unnecessary ) but rather like ... dismantling the way society works. i don’t have all the details of this either but i imagine a sort of ... skeleton , for how he’d go about it would be to
a . create situations that prove that ppl w/ talent cannot be the sole instruments of hope and in fact may even create despair / awful situations instead. their talents are not foolproof and they are not perfect. essentially i ... think he’d want to turn people with talent into sort of like ... martyrs , i guess ? for his beliefs / cause and while his goal isn’t killing all of them , i really don’t think he’d have a problem with killing any of them either if it would benefit the situation ( and if they died on accident i don’t think it would bother him beyond like ... he’d be upset if it caused a setback somehow )
b . create situations wherein people without talent are able to prove their worth and turn average people into people with benefit to society and create the idea that even if it’s a group rather than individuals , the world can still be moved forward by the little people.
as for what would like ... prompt this , i do believe that he’d want to work alongside enoshima junko. she is a perfect example of talent that does bad things and her idea of a despair filled world that is aided by talented people is actually great as a platform to push the idea that talent is the enemy. i don’t ... know that things would go exactly as they did in terms of how things spiraled out of control in canon but it would be along those lines at least and i do think he plans to dispose of her eventually as part of like ... using her death as a stepping stone that can prove a point. talent , which aided the world falling apart , conquered by someone without talent.
it’s also a way for him to prove he is worth something and that he is intelligent and someone worth remembering , more than a talentless ( he doesn’t consider luck a real talent and while i do hc him as SHSL Solutionist , it’s not something anyone has told him and not what he was scouted for so he and everyone else are unaware of it ) , cursed child that won’t benefit the world in any way and then will be forgotten the moment he’s gone. so that desire plays a part as well.
