Evil Geniuses
From EvilPlanetWiki
When you start a new game, you will be required to choose one of the following three Evil Geniuses to control on their way to world domination. As can be expected Evil Genuises do no work themselves, they order their Henchmen and Minions instead.

Evil Geniuses
Circle of Influence
Every Evil Genuis radiates an aura that restores the attention and loyalty of minions nearby. Alexis has by far the largest aura but the slowest regen rate. On the other hand Shen Yu has the smallest aura but restores attention and loyalty the fastest. Maximilian's regeneration rate and aura size are both average.
Executions
Evil Geniuses also have the ability to execute their minions to rapidly restore all five stats to all minions watching the execution. It makes no difference if the minion being executed is a construction worker or a high tier trained minion, such as a marksman or a diplomat. The amount by which the stats of the nearby minions get boosted is however different depending on which Evil Genius the player has picked: execution by Maximilian boosts nearby minion's stats by 5, execution by Shen Yu by 7 and execution by Alexis by 10. Also, the radius with which the execution is affected by your Evil Genius character, Alexis, Max, and Shen have a large, medium, and small radius of effect, respectively.
Interrogations
If your Evil Genius is standing nearby while an enemy agent is being interrogated on any piece of Interrogation Equipment, you will gain up to five notoriety points, dependng on the character being interrogated. If a Super Agent is being destroyed (i.e. One of Optional Objectives 4-7 is being completed) your Evil Genius will make his/her way over to the interrogation scene automatically, and stand laughing uproariously while the Super Agent is got rid of once and for all.
Gloating
If you select your evil genius and mouse over a cell with an agent (not a tourist or your own minion), you will see a Ha Ha icon. Right click and your evil genius will walk over and start gloating over the prisoner. This increases your notoriety by 1. Be warned however, prisoners seem to have a better chance of getting out shortly after being gloated over. Keep 1 henchman in armoury to deal with escapists. (Note: if he escapes WHILE you are gloating, you will not gain the notoriety and you will not be able to gloat over them again when they are re-captured. (you cannot gloat over the same prisoner twice.) Also, judging from a debug flag in Debug Mode, it appears that there is combo gloating. (please add something on that.)
Bodyguards
As your notoriety increases, you will be able to receive two Bodyguards. They are rather weak but will try to protect you. They will also dance during gloating, interrogations and executions.
Death
If your evil genius is damaged he or she can be healed by interacting with his/her Inner Sanctum items. However, if the evil genius is killed the game automatically ends. You are shown a short but interesting cut-scene in which your evil genius is shown that he/she is not what he/she appears to be...
