For me the best Villain is the hero who has gone too far. The scariest villain is the one who genuinely believes she is helping you as she casually shoves you off a cliff. Or the man who truly believes he loves his girlfriend even as he is choking the life out of her.
To me, the perfect villain begins their journey with the desire to help, to save, to protect; but then somehow they lose their way, they sail beyond reason to the point where they will kill the people they are trying so hard to protect because they are standing in the way of our villain protecting them. This kind of villain is completely unpredictable because they have gone off the rails, and will do anything in order to succeed in their mission, even if their mission no longer makes sense to anyone but themself.
What do you think makes the perfect villain?
