Villains: First entry

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).

First entry

I'm starting a blog devoted to the best characters in popular culture, the villains. Here I will list and explore villains, new as well as old. The first 20 entries will be the 20 best villains (see below).
The top 5 villains will be studied in more detail.

I will list the following:
Type of character (according to the subtypes [see above])
Universe (e.g. Marvel, DC etc.)
History (brief recap with reason for becoming a villain)
Grade (points 1-10 where 10 is the best, 5 is average and 1 is mediocre)
