Question of the Day Part 5
RokofAges75:
^ Precisely. And also because I haven't read many Howie stories LOL. But homicidal Howie is definitely my favorite Howie to read!
Which brings me to the villain question. Dr. Rough in 00Carter is definitely my favorite villain I've written. (Thanks, Tracy, for mentioning him!) He's kind of like Kim Jong Il in "Team America," this completely over-the-top supervillain who has a Napoleon complex, a love of fine things, and a soft spot that makes him seem not so villainous at times. Because it's a spoof, he's the cliched evil genius whose ultimate goal is world domination or destruction, but he's got his motives and insecurities as well, and those have been especially fun to write.
My favorite fanfic villains tend to be the more believable ones, the ones who are actually scary. Mare's "Beautiful Girl" was terrifying because I could imagine a crazy fan actually doing something like that if given the opportunity. In fact, there's one on YouTube right now who kind of fits that bill... *twitch* Xavier in "Mind Games" was another one who really was scary because he was able to get away with doing so many horrible things to Brian right under the other guys' noses. Mo in "Scared of Reality" was another good one. He always had an air of desperation, a guy who knew he'd dug himself in too deep and was struggling to find a way out. Desperate people are scary because they're unpredictable and will do anything to save themselves. Steph's bot flies were pretty badass villains too! Or should I call them heroes? LOL

Who are some of your favorite villains you have either written or read and what in your mind makes a great villain?
--- End quote ---
My favorite villains to write are usually the ones that are either way over the top, or the ones that you can relate to. The ones who are in this weird shade of grey instead of being pure good or pure evil. Because of that it's not a shock to see my fave two villains I've had a hand in writing are Dr. Rough and Drums in 00Carter. Dr. Rough you can never be too big with him, he has all the issues of a real person but because it's a spoof, we can go a little crazy. And then Drums, despite how we created him to mock out of our hatred of Justin Timberlake, he's got layers. He used to be this good agent and then circumstances took that from him. Dr. Rough saw that and warped him into something darker, feeding on the insecurities Drums had.
I feel like the best villains are the ones that still have humanity in there somewhere. They're the ones where you can see why they became as screwed up as they are LOL. The second answer to that are the ones that are truly evil, the ones that just creep you the hell out. Julie mentioned the fan in Mare's "Beautiful Girl" and I think that's a perfect example. She's realistic and yet so totally screwed up in the head and it's just creepy beyond belief.
