We have an old adage saying a hero is only as good as his villain is evil, which best describes the literary role these mongers of fear, hatred, and curiosity play. In many ways, a villain represents the impulses and desires that most people ignore, the darker traits of human psychology and mental health that have to be suppressed. Some have backgrounds which are laughable, others have tragic pasts that could induce depression and anxiety, but all villains, ultimately, function as the twisted reflection of all things the hero shouldn’t become. With that in mind, listed here are several instances of great villains that have graced the planet in one structure or another.

If the reader believes that the character took it’s origin from Vlad III Tepes or otherwise does not matter. What’s relevant is that the Count is among the most enduring, most effective villains to have ever appeared in any format. Yes, he was a monstrous fiend in the end, but his charming and elegant demeanor were a contrast towards the portrayal of villains during his time. Like real serial killers, Dracula did not look particularly out of place among normal people. In the novel, many people found him odd only while he was not indigenous to England and several things about him were foreign to others. He is probably one of the best examples of literature that implies that the villain can be just as human as the hero, and need not continually be a fierce dragon or ancient, overwhelmingly vile demon.

Even when thinking about the disappointing nature of the prequel trilogy, it is difficult to deny that Darth Vader served as not just the villain, but also the core of the “Star Wars” mythology. His actions shattered a generations-old order and, later, helped shape the galaxy for generations in the future. His imposing presence, in the black armor and also the distinct sound of his breathing, was enough to instill fear in those that stood before him. The fact that he was a lot more than prepared to do the dirty work, something most modern villains hardly ever do anymore, made him much more convincing as an instrument of oppressive, dominating power. It is true that Luke Skywalker and the other heroes from the “Star Wars” saga had the spotlight in it, but many critics would agree that the sheer presence of the character like Darth Vader was what made the movies such successes.

It takes a very special mix of evil and insanity to make the look of a jester into one that instills fear even just in other villains. Within the universe of DC Comics, this was a feat achieved only through the notorious Joker. The Joker lacks the tragic background elements that made Vader and Dracula such sympathetic villains, however, his is a character that was not designed to instill sympathy. The Joker’s primary goal is to kill as numerous people as he could, preferably in the most comedic (in his mind) manner possible. Some reason that his near single-minded obsession with that goal is really a dark mirror to Superman’s own single-minded pursuit of good. However, in some ways, The Joker is still best served like a foil for Batman, with the former using objects designed to spread joy in murderous ways, while the latter uses criminal tactics to enforce what the law states.

Absolutely, Villains, by some token, tend to be portrayed as brutish and rough. Most people would expect the villain to look hideous or monstrous, the greater to inspire the fear he makes use of so effectively like a tool. However, Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter deviates from that tradition, and he does with such class and grace that he makes his villainous activities look appealing. To make a man with activities as monstrous as Lecter’s look appealing, noble, and even admirable takes a special kind of personalty. Hannibal Lecter could well be one of the greatest villains ever, with very few having any credible reason to compete against him.

Certainly, villainy is more than just being the “bad guy.” Lurking behind the fiendish laughter and also the menacing costumes lurk a much deeper, and usually scary, personality and motive.
