What do you look for in a villain?

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

A desire to cause as much pain and suffering in the most creative way possible. There's nothing worse than a villain who wants money or to conquer the world, there's no fun in that. A villain who only wants to cause wanton destruction and pain is a true villain.

 

[winginson]

The villian doing because they actually want to.

Not because some sickening story about how their wife died so now they spend their time murdering children and kicking puppies.
