I'm a villain because some kid in the "Make A Wish" program asked me to be.... So really, the villain is Terminally Ill Jimmy.

My personal favourite is when they cease to see day to day tasks as reasonable. We've all been there. That asshole who cuts in the line in front of you then spends five minutes choosing what he wants to eat at McDonalds, probably not a brilliant example, but I'm talking a full on "Falling Down" scenario.
Looking at the state of the world I think everything being run by a single psychotic villan would actually be an improvement.
On one hand you can build giant sattelites (crap i forgot how to spell it) that rain death upon the land (I.E. command and conquer's Ion Cannon) On the other hand I'd have to have some paranoid security measures to make sure someone didn't "misfire" and hit me. Death by "friendly" fire is never fun.

I like the villains you can sympathize with.
. So, you see, in that situation, no one is really evil, just slightly in the wrong.
A little background first; in this series, there are 2 star nations: the People's Republic of Haven (Peeps) and the Star Kingdom of Manticore (Manties). In the first few books, the Peeps are on the verge of economic collapse, and attack the Manties for the temporary boost their economy would get. That's not evil per se. they are, in a sense, saving many lives by doing that: the Peeps live in a complete welfare state, so an economic collapse would be even more catastrophic than for anyone else. About 3 or 4 books in (forgot which), a coup inside the Peeps happens, and the "Committee of Public Safety" is instituted. Now, despite having orchestrated the coup, the CoPS isn't evil; the genuinely want to fix the economy through reforms, but must continue the war with the Manties the old regime started. It eventually gets to the point where, after having to paint the Manties in a horrible light in their propaganda, they would be thrown out by the Mob if they ever tried a peaceful solution.
Because I'm mentally unstable.
It's unintentional, in fact I'm trying to be good but am incredibly stupid and inept.

It's true it always feels good when you've realized you'd rather have the villain win (some heroes just aren't so great)
More movies/stories should have the villain win in the end, I think it makes for a better conclusion
I like villains who don't particularly think of themselves as evil, they just have conflicting ideas about what is considered "good".
I thought that was orphans. Though I guess they are children most of the time.TheGhostOfSin said:
Oh god, actual quote from a guy in my Comp Sci class: "Fetuses taste good in a nice brown sauce." We couldn't stop laughing for 3 straight minutes. Even the teacher.Clairaudient said:
That's actually my favorite kind of villain. Like Kain from Command & Conquer. The villains that think they are good and the good guys are evil.L.B. Jeffries said:
The creepiest reason for being a bad guy will always be their mindset, whether it be he's half retarded and likes to kill people because he thinks it is in fact good, or his idea of bringing a united peace to the world is by genocide, in other words, they think they're the good guys.
