There are all types of villains with various powers, masks, and costumes. All that stuff is great to look at and talk about with excitement, but before we look at that we need to look at one of the most important attributes of a villain. Motive. The first question that we should ask when looking at a villain is, "Why is this particular villain, a villain?". No one just wakes up and wants to be the outcast of a whole city or even universe. No one just wakes up and wants to be what strikes fear in the hearts of hundreds of innocent people. They don't put all that energy into making costumes and clever destructive devices because they think it's cool. They definitely don't spend their time risking their lives fighting the heroes that are against everything that they are doing because they're bored. There has to be a motive. The thing that causes an ordinary person to change into a blood-thirsty villain is what a thing that I like to call, "Magneto Syndrome". Yes, I am talking about the guy that wears the silly helmet and can control anything made of metal. Anything. He is in fact, one of the most powerful villains because of this power, but his ability to gather others to his side is just as powerful. But my question is, "Why does mister metal-bender hate normal humans with such passion?". I mean he really, REALLY, hates them and he does an excellent job of showing it. Well it all starts in his early childhood and i will explain that later in the blog, but after going through what he did, he justifies what he is doing. Although he is about wipe out an entire city, he legitimately believes that what he is doing is for the greater good. This makes him all the more dangerous and harder to stop. Villains with Magneto Syndrome are one of the most dangerous and most damaging villains in the world of good vs evil. How you can you get across to them and get them to see that what they are doing is wrong? Better yet, how do you do you accomplish that while dodging a freight train or blocking a thousand bullets; Courtesy of Magneto, the master of metal. Good luck with that.
