How do YOU choose your characters and villain?

[StayPuft]

Sadly we don't get to play A Touch of Evil as much as I'd like. Part of the reason being it always seems to take us too long. In my typical gaming group, we only have until the comic store closes. You'd think that is still enough, but we often don't get started immediately, and also often times start with a quick game first.

So, any time we have tried to play ATOE, we almost never wind up finishing it.

However, when we have played, we pretty much always pick the villain we want to face that day.

For heroes, we've either picked at random, or done the random draft thing where we pick two and select one of the two to keep. So, nothing all that fancy in either case.
