There are many villains in the world. Whether it is a comic book villain to a movie villain, villains have been around for a long time. Magneto is the toughest villain in the series X-Men. Lex Luthor is none other than Superman’s arch-nemesis. Norman Osborn, a.k.a. the Green Goblin, is Spider Man's arch-enemy. Each one of these villains have completely different origin stories. Although they have different backgrounds they are all evildoers. Magneto’s origin is shady from start. Magneto actually works with the X-Men before he is persuaded to be evil. One day Magneto realizes that he has different ideas than Professor Charles Xavier, head of the X-Men, and decides he is better off against the X-Men. Comic Vine stated that Magneto turned evil
Literary villains are all around us. For instance, Voldemort from Harry Potter and Darth Vader from Star Wars. What makes a villain? They will go through anyone or damage anything to reach their goal. No matter how small or how tall they are, anyone can be a villain.
Villains today are typically shown wearing dark colors, large capes, mean eyes, and maybe a pointy-nose. The villain has their evil cackle that suggests that they know what they are doing is evil, but they love doing the evil things. For the most part, they are never regretful of their actions. Take Gargamel, from the movie The Smurfs. Gargamel is the evil wizard and enemy of the smurfs, whose main goal is to destroy them. He wears a dark cape, has a pointy nose, and an evil laugh. Throughout the movie, he never changes his views on his actions or questions his reasoning for attempting, what we would call murder. In the end he is defeated by the hero of the movie, while still coming back in follow-up movies to attempt his goal again and again. This archetype is not quite the villain archetype presented through Claudius of the novel
A villain is a person that poses a threat to the main character and Minor characters in the story. The villain in Nacho Libre (a fellow luchador champ named Ramses) is what the plot in the story revolves all around. Nacho is trying to raise money for the orphans and buy them some salads or something but Ramses is the person that stands in his way. But if you think about it Ramses weren’t there Nacho can’t win the money. Ramses is a key person in the movie, without Ramses Nacho would just be a sneezing cook at an orphanage with only Incarnasion to talk to and that guy who’s had diarrhea since Easters to make fun of and insult. (I think his name is Senor Ramon)
Generally, the backgrounds of most villains and monsters archetypes have common traits that are conveyed through each of their different background stories. One common trait that is carried through is that each story has
Throughout the history of literature there have always been two sides to every story. There is the good side and the evil side. “Evil is the most serious of our moral problems. All over the world cruelty, greed, prejudice, and fanaticism ruin the lives of countless victims”(Kekes). Shakespeare follows this quite closely we see common victims as well as law breakers. The heroes usually have similar characteristics as one another. For example the heroes are usually brave, muscular, good looking, and fairly popular. On the other hand you have villains. Villains are usually brave as well; however they usually have some kind of deformity such as the villain in spider man. They have different beliefs than that of most other people. These are more modern villains, back in Shakespeare’s time villains were just normal people. Examples of these characters are Lago from Othello, this is a story where Lago makes a plot to take down Othello’s girl because he can’t have her so he makes a plan that will make her lover kill her. Another example of old villains is Claudius from Hamlet. Claudius is the King’s brother. Claudius secretly kills the king, takes his crown and causes a variety of problems. Last is Oberon from Mid Summer Nights Dream is Oberon. Oberon is another villain that causes problems by trying to punish his wife for her disobedience. These three characters are similar yet different. Besides the fact that they are all Shakespeare characters they are still very similar. Two ways that these characters are the same are their place in society and their talking skills, however they are different because of their motives.
A villain is truly just a victim whose story has not been told. This is clearly shown in The Creature in Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein.” When the story states, “My organs were indeed harsh, but supple; and although my voice was very unlike the soft music of their tones, yet I pronounced such words as I understood with tolerable ease. It was as the ass and the lap-dog; yet surely the gentle ass whose intentions were affectionate, although his manners were rude, deserved better treatment than blows and execration.” (Shelley, 134). The monster feels that people should judge him on his personality and emotions inside instead of his appearance on the outside. Frankenstein’s creature is truly just a victim of circumstance. No individual is born evil,
Why Iron Man is a Role Model Just imagine a man inside a mechanized suit flying around New York trying to fight off an alien invasion. The first idea that pops into my head is superhero. This specific superhero is none other than the Iron Man, or his known identity of Tony Stark. Tony Stark is the owner of the multi-billion dollar company Stark Industries.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dracula, and Beowulf has very impactful villain that effect the other character in the story. Their actions causes the protagonist to stand up act against them. But what make the villain well, a villain or the antagonist of the story? The book I mention about is give you some information about villain.

You find a lot that the intelligent villains are the one's who act as a friend or a kindhearted person to lure you into their trap. Not any villain has a good heart or is compassionate to someone’s feelings. They do what they have to do and they do not care who they hurt along the way of their mission or how they do so. Their mindset isn’t the same as ours and they think that their mindset is normal and they strongly believe evil if the root to all happiness. Even though there are villains in the real world today, most of them come from fictional stories.

How do villains become the villains that we know them as? Because You Love To Hate Me is an anthology that describes how the villains we know and love come into existence. For those people who do not know what an anthology is, it is a collection of stories or poems. Some of the villains that are in these stories are, the giant from Jack and the Beanstalk, The Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, the Greek myth of how Medusa came to be the Medusa we all fear and, a modernized version of the descendants of the tale Beauty and the Beast. There is a total of thirteen stories in this book.
Commonly, a hero is considered as a representative of morality, justice and power. Also, people have various ways to evaluate their own heroes. Especially children, as they grow up, are more likely to create their heroes who are usually brave, strong, righteous and indestructible. However, villains are the opposite side of heroes, and they are evil, demoniacal and cruel. Some of those heroes would easily turn into villains when they are trying to get revenge because their hearts are filled with hatred. The play Hamlet by Shakespeare tells the tragic story of a prince avenging the death of his father. In the play, the main character Hamlet changes from a hero into a villain through his immoral and repellant actions.
Nemesis is brought out by the weakness of our conscience. This is best spoken by Hamlet, "Thus conscience does make cowards (of us all.)"(3,1,91) If life were to revolve around the ruling Nemesis, our world would be a much better place to live. If people were to commit inhumanly acts they should be punished justly. If people were to murder or injure someone their nemesis would be to have the same done to them. Nemesis is a great way to end the troubles of a society.
Dr. Doom is a villain because he is the deadliest scientist, and the second greatest sorcerer of black magic in the universe. At a young age, both of his parents were killed. His mother was killed and her soul was trapped by the demon Mephisto after she called on them to save her son's life.
