And you wanted to screw with the competition by claiming 'super-villain','super-villainy' and associated concepts and practices for your own; which IP law angle is best?

None; that's all too vague.

Trademarks for specific names -- The Joker®, for example.

Method patents for specific crimes -- but doing so would, by necessity, publish them.

Trade secret suits against your minions and henchmen who inevitably and futilely betray you.

Oh! And perhaps restraint of trade against the superheroes.

I am reminded of the Witless Minions in Empowered; they had an unconventional but profitable business plan, until they encountered a problem for which they were unprepared.
