Love the evil campaign! 
I've only come close to that level of epic BWAH a few times in evil games. The most recent was an Advanced Marvel Superheroes game where I borrowed a concept from the Invaders. The PC's were all playing B-grade supervillains who'd all been quietly sprung from the Supervillain jail (I'd used "Fortress" from another game somewhere because it was convenient. ) They worked for a CIA logo on a Pacific island who gave them missions who they started calling "TV's Frank," after MST3K. But the moment TV's Frank left them to their own devices, I expected them to try to take over the world, or build a superweapon, or take on a hero team. Because that's what teams of villains do, right?
Not this team. They decided they were going to invade and take over Brazil! Their reason? It's got so many economic and resource advantages going for it, the only reason it's not dominating the world economically is because of all the criminal elements undercutting its potential. And the world's hands are tied because overt action would be seen as interference. So what's obviously needed is for a villain group to take it over and build it into an economic powerhouse they can use to spearhead their future endeavors.
Meanwhile, I'd been working on plot threads involving North American hero groups, maybe some work with Eurostar and other European terrorist groups... And now the whole campaign is derailed by the PC's wanting to conquer a Latin American country...
