What makes a great villain? Depends on the story, I suppose. Different kinds of stories need different kinds of evil-doers. But the basics: clarity of purpose, a distinct voice, an equally great nemesis. All of these are more important than a cool name or costume. (Where would Dr. Doom be otherwise, amirite?) There are a ridiculous number of great and memorable villains in comics, and if you're having trouble figuring out yours, <a href="http://comics.ign.com/top-100-villains/100.html">IGN has got a top 100</a> for you here. <br /><br />I grew up watching X-Men and Batman TAS and my best-of list is heavily populated by villains I first encountered in those series: Poison Ivy, Magneto, Mr. Sinster, the Joker. But my most enduring villainous love, has got to be Lex Luthor. (So unusual, I know. XD)<br /><br />I actually first met him through the Superman comics my neighbor collected. I bought the X-books, he bought the Superman and Bat-books, and we traded on Thursdays. I guess I saw something in those comics (awful though many of them were!), because after that I was <em>all over</em> the Superman cartoon and Lois & Clark, and savoring every Lex episode. By the time Justice League and Smallville came around, I was an accept-no-substitutes Lex Luthor stan. <br /><br />So what's so great about Lex Luthor? Well, a couple of things imho. <span class="cuttag_container"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b>(&nbsp;<a href="http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2357450.html#cutid1">Read more...</a>&nbsp;)</b><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div></span> <br /><br /><br />So who are <em>your</em> favourite villains?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=scans_daily&ditemid=2357450" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:172314:2316749 cyberghostface 2010-08-26T04:28:31Z 2010-08-26T04:29:03Z public 23 Posted by: <span lj:user='cyberghostface' style='white-space: nowrap;' class='ljuser'><a href='http://cyberghostface.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://cyberghostface.dreamwidth.org/'><b>cyberghostface</b></a></span><br /><br />Saw this posted on /co/.

Sort of like a pro-active Bruce Wayne, with SMARTS!<br /><br />And how does he retain the common touch? Because he knows people, he really, really does. Okay, he knows them the way a biologist knows the Paramecium he's looking at down a microscope, but he still knows them.<br /><br /><span class="cuttag_container"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b>(&nbsp;<a href="http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2179330.html#cutid1">Case in point...</a>&nbsp;)</b><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div></span><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=scans_daily&ditemid=2179330" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:172314:1949185 pyrotwilight 2010-05-20T03:52:47Z 2010-05-20T04:02:16Z public 38 Posted by: <span lj:user='pyrotwilight' style='white-space: nowrap;' class='ljuser'><a href='http://pyrotwilight.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://pyrotwilight.dreamwidth.org/'><b>pyrotwilight</b></a></span><br /><br /><span class="cuttag_container"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b>(&nbsp;<a href="http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/1949185.html#cutid1">DC 75th Anniversary Variant Cover for Adventure Comics #12</a>&nbsp;)</b><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div></span><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=scans_daily&ditemid=1949185" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:172314:782879 http://xdoop.insanejournal.com/ 2009-08-18T19:52:23Z 2009-08-18T19:52:23Z public 7 Posted by: <span lj:user='xdoop.insanejournal.com' style='white-space: nowrap;' class='ljuser'><a href='http://www.dreamwidth.org/profile?userid=458299&amp;t=I'><img src='http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png' alt='[identity profile] ' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='http://xdoop.insanejournal.com/' rel='nofollow'><b>xdoop.insanejournal.com</b></a></span><br /><br /><br><div><span class="cuttag_container"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b>(&nbsp;<a href="http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/782879.html#cutid1">Finally!</a>&nbsp;)</b><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div></span></div><br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=scans_daily&ditemid=782879" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:172314:717817 Kingston C.
