"What can I tell you? I'm the Villain."
~Richard E. Grant – 'Hudson Hawk'~

Weather it be a man with a cat bent on world conquest, a crazed German taking revenge for the death of his brother, a Billionaire with nothing else to do, an ex-Government agent who got the shaft for proving his employers wrong. A lost Time-traveler who wants to have mastery of all domains, a Mad Golfer wanting to turn the Pacific Rim into his own personal driving range, an Emperor of Mongo bent on enslavement of the universe. A scared Prince wanting his destiny, a missing Sannin seeking vengeance and immortality. The long Mustached man tying the damsel to the railroad tracks, a Brilliant psychiatrist who would love to have to have you for 'lunch', an Invader from the Irken Empire who seeks to enslave all humanity, The red and black Masked man that loves to mess with the minds of his foes.

All good stories need an 'Antagonist', the one who makes the story worth following, the reason for the Heroes being. The ones who enjoy the opulence of life, who try to make thing better for themselves, who want change the world to what they think it should be. The ones that are intelligent, determined, and at times melodramatic.(everybody loves a good deep maniacal laugh)
The ones who just simply have a purposeful reason for being.
