His genius level intellect has and always will be used for the betterment on mankind.Yet, remembrances of his past as an evil genius hang around his neck as an albatross in the form of the Doom Syndicate, a cadre of villains with whom he once worked. The crew, a bizarre pack of animated oddballs, arrived in Metro City expecting to pick up their nefarious activities with Megamind still at the helm. They were bewildered and deflated to discover Megamind id no longer the fearsome villain he was, and had, in fact, retired.
Feeling slighted and unwilling to accept his change of heart, the Doom Syndicate, instead of gaining Megamind as an ally, decided to execute their plan of conquering Metro City. They perceive his new persona as a form of treachery and set in motion a plan to bring him back to the fold, by throwing him into unavoidable conflict.
Megamind now has to guard his city with more than just an arsenal of gadgets and a network of strategies, but with firm resolve to his new identity.
