Have you been reading Dark Avengers? She's not that self-deluded anymore and she's trying to keep Osborn sane. What exactly has she done to qualify for villain status?

Further, what did it contribute to the conversation to say "I hope the bitch is dead?"

Osborn is sane. He's just a sociopath. Victoria Hand is an accessory to every single crime that these people have committed. Her death, at the hands of the legitimate government of the United States of America, is most definitely not an occasion for sorrow.

I just hope it really, really hurt.

Osborn suffers from a split personality and takes medication. How exactly is he sane?

Are you suggesting people who are properly medicated yet still torture and murder are not responsible for their actions? Because if so, anyone with mental health problems should never ever be trusted, no matter how well under control their problems are.

I repeat: how exactly is he sane?

As sane as the writer chooses to make him. By RL standards, everyone in 616 is nuthatch ready.

A more formal effort at fake diagnosis was made here, if you're curious. That said, like MadGoblin, I take Marvel's history and depictions with a grain of salt. They tend to change depending on the quality of writing.

I am reading Dark Avengers. It's an amusing take on a bunch of villains.

Victoria Hand is self-deluded to believe that Osborn CAN be kept helpful to the security of the US. She's self-deluded to believe that all the evil that she has knowingly allowed--not merely as an inactive observer, but as a participant to the coverups--was worth it. She allowed it because she wanted to get a chance to exercise her ideas. She thought the ends would justify the means and everything would turn out all right in the end and every person who was victimized by Osborn and company weren't more important than that end. She is a classic villain! And frankly, a pretty good one. I like her--as a villain. She reminds me of Emma Frost, when Emma was cool.

what did it contribute to the conversation to say "I hope the bitch is dead?"

I'm guessing the commenter felt a brief satisfaction in hir futile wish that evil is served it's just desserts. I say futile because Hand is a pretty popular villain, and therefore is assured of immortality.
