Villain categories

Villains can be categorized into five different subtypes, villains who: 1.) Believe they are doing the right thing (the ends justifies the means) E.g. Magneto (X-men). 2.) Are just scary and mad, or live for destruction, there's no plot nor any obvious reason for a particular target. E.g. The Joker (The Dark Knight) 3.) Seeks revenge, e.g. Khan Star Trek. 4.) Wants power (rule the world), e.g. Blofeldt (James Bond). 5.) Are henchmen, subordinates or robots. They are either without a will, do it for fun or lack of intelligence. E.g. Jaws (James Bond films).

#20 Dr. Tolian Soran



Since I'm a trekkie I will start with a villain from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111280/
Star Trek 7: Generations.

Dr. Tolian Soran (portrayed by Malcolm McDowell) belongs to subtype 1. From Roddenberry's universe. He firmly believes that his actions are justified. Selfish though they are. The doctor is an El-Aurian scientist over 300 years old. He lost his family in a Borg attack and fled onboard a starship. The ship was caught in an dangerous but mysterious energy ribbon. Once inside every wish is granted, including reanimating his dead family. However, the ship was rescued by Enterprise B and Dr. Soran was pulled away from his only source of happiness. He desperately tries to get back to the ribbon by every means...

Grade = 5
