Oh, ooooooooh I like this. I like this a lot. What would happen if Lucrezia and Xykon switched universes?

Well Lucrezia in OotS…yeah that place is going to suffer. Magic is just science unexplained right? So I see Lucrezia doing her “Mad Spark” to just understand the shit out of magic, including but not limited to kidnapping wizards for study, replicating said magic with her mad lad inventions, and totally willing to use the snarl/gates as a power source for whatever world domination she plans. 

Not only that, but she is strategic, ruthless, and had her own army with the spider women priestess. I’m pretty sure Redcloak would be 100% down with having her as a leader over Xykon any day. Especially since her ability to make, you know, Guns and Lasers for her Goblin Army can give them an edge against everything else.

Basically, she is going to wreck everyone’s shit.

Xykon in Girl Genius is a bit trickier. He’s powerful absolutely, and hella evil, but is totally apathetic. There is no drive or ambition really other than doing whatever evil thing that comes to mind. Hell, world domination wasn’t even his idea until someone else suggested it.

The groups in GG has a delicate political power game going on, but Xykon is just going to upend that for the lols. He will definitely piss Baron off to be marked for murder. He may get the Jaegars on his side, or at least get them to initially like him what with their love of violence, fighting, and chaos. But if he treats them like Goblins and kills them just cause, they are also going to turn on him. Basically, it is going to be hard for Xykon to gain any allies unless they come specifically to him.

Not to say he can’t cause any damage. Given how his current mission was world domination, I see him trying to continue his mission here. Having new toys like Clanks, Lasers, and any other steampunk mad science is definitely going to inspire him for new forms of evil. Possibly will try to go after the Slaver Drones and release them since A) he’s a lich, he can’t be affected, and B) super dangerous weapon is just right there for the taking so why not take it?
