Introduce your Villain!

[Wandercreature]

We're all proud of our villains - whether they're manifestations of pure evil, or trying to do the right thing in all the wrong ways. Tell us about yours!

I'll go first. The current dark forces in my story are Mara Cruor, a Vrykolakas whose hair turns red when she's fed on blood, and Davion Clarke, a Sea-Draugar whose diving suit was his grave - two undead Revenants illegally operating in the modern-day supercountry of Superbia. The story is fresh, so I can't spoil too much about these two just yet, but they both have secrets to hide - and pasts that will make you question which side you should really be on.

Oh so many villains in my comic... but here is my favorite: GLAMOURPUSS


She's a cool british cat burglar who has a thing for fashion, especially vintage/old hollywood. She's always trying to steal things that fit in her aesthetic but she doesn't really have any qualms with the main characters. She gets that they are heroes and have to try to stop her, but she also knows that they're not really skilled enough to do so. More often than not she ends up helping them with things instead of fighting.

Say hi to main antagonists from Fallacy

Astrid

and Hildr

Astrid's the one officially in charge and basically the only one who is allowed to tell Hildr what to do. And then hope she complies. Astrid has a strong drive to do what she thinks is right but unfortunately her ideas can be rather... dubious... and definitely run against what protagonists would like to happen. Hildr however couldn't care less about doing right or almost anything else either with the exception of Astrid herself and having fun.

@Wandercreature your comic looks set to be epic, look forward to more!

As for the thread theme, I always find it hard to create villains, it's so hard to be nasty! But I can do bungling very well. There guys are getting their intros in HOTWAB right now, but as it's a superhero comic, there's villains a-plenty!

[Shanny8]

I'll come back to this next week- after I've debuted my story's villain...lol.

[69Michi]

You know, when that line between a villain and a main character is so blurred you no longer know what you should classify them as.... LMFAO _{if I talk about the real "villain" in my series, that would be spoiler so I'm just gonna throw out some minor antagonists}

Antagonist #1 - Main character's wife Parish

She is a real gold-digger who has major confidence in herself and her beauty

Antagonist #2 - Main character's son Abel

A hell spawn literally who is very manipulative

All in all, Noah's entire family is out for his blood.

[KSlinger]

The current villain of West is Serge, disgraced heir to an indomitable criminal organization and part of the comedy duo that is Morris and Serge. He is intelligent, calm and calculating but also easily amused and a little shy at times.

[heterodont]

Seeing as only one story has a character thats closest to a 'villain'..
Lazarus! sans wings
He's the King of the terrestrial dominion in Kongene Faller - He used to be a little absent-minded and kind of a poor leader for a variety of reasons (mainly being he didn't want to do anything) but for some reason, his mannerisms and behavior did a 180 - which rubbed his council of advisors the wrong way and he ended up getting locked up for 15~ (7 in their species's perception) years :> As is expected, he is a Little Mad about that.

[shazzbaa]

It's a little ambiguous who the bad guys of RW are -- most of the things trying to kill our heroes so far have just been monsters -- but since this mysterious cult keeps getting in their way I casually refer to its leaders as the villains :>

Master Quentin Agorath (the taller guy with the bandolier of vials) is the head of the cult. He is very good at remembering the obscure incantations and components of forbidden magical rituals, and very bad at remembering things like, schedules, where he got that book from, or where he last left his keys. He should really get some sleep.
Esra (the shorter guy) is his constantly-stressed, overworked, under-appreciated second-in-command, though some of the overwork might be of the "insists on everything being organised when literally nobody cares" variety.

They wouldn't be all that sinister except that due to weird oath magic, everyone in the cult is literally unable to tell anyone what exactly their goals are, and that's, well, that's always a bit suspect.

[BraveHeartTatsumaki]

Well, my comic Final Light has changed a lot from the prototype I used to upload, some characters have been kept. But others had to be created to help to enrich the story itself. Among them, this girl.
I'll try to talk about her, more or less. There are many villains in my story but only few of them have to do with the plot itself (others are like some random delinquent or such), and since this one was released on my Twitter before xD and she appears in the cover.
Her name is Kalia. And she's the one who will appear the most.
I wouldn't know to tell if people will like her or will hate her. She's more likely to leave you alive if she finds you interesting, like for example, if she finds her adversary strong, she might forgive that person's life, for other occasion in which she learns how to defeat said person. All for fun. That's all I'm going to say about her, the rest will appear in the comic soon, cause she's kinda... "particular" in her actions xD

Also there are more villains in my story, some of them more important than Kalia herself. BUT let's not spoil anything else, for know, have Kalia.
(I actually created Kalia while I went to a store close of my place, buying potatoes and then I was like OMG I SHOULD CREATE THIS CHARACTER!!, God bless potatoes.)

[sarrowsmith10]

The main villain in Goblins of Razard is Zilck:

He betrayed the wizard order that raised him and is responsible for basically wiping out all the magic users in the world.
A sub villain so to speak is Reign's (the main hero) older brother Laird.

Laird is a powerful and ruthless ruler and was happy to assist Zilck in getting rid of the wizards in order to cement his place in the world. It's all good villainous stuff. <3

[sarrowsmith10]

He should really get some sleep.

I love that your characters have such unique personalities. Just like regular people, but with suspicious plans and belong to secret cults. It's awesome.

[donathinfrye]

The villain of I, Necromancer is also its protagonist!

Buuut,maybe he didn't start off that bad? That idea's one of the major themes of the story.
Sorta like ... Breaking Bad meets Dungeons and Dragons.

[mariusthered]

while Talesfromswipecitydoes have bad guys, not all of them are as bad a they paint. I wanted the comic to be realistic and in truth we all have god and bad sides. that said say hello to the true original Villein of Swipe city

Clarence Potts AKA The Paddler.

the short version of his story....

As a child Clarence Potts found himself the victim of an abusive step daddy due to the lies told by his mean step sister. after one very bad beating Clarence aged 10 killed his step sister by beating her to death with a spanking paddle. after he was taken into custody , Clarence was used as a case study by a doctor who used his love of comics to mold his mind in order to complete her research, as a result Clarence began to think of "the joker" as a father figure. once he was too old for the young institute he was placed in a prison for 20 years without trial until a lawyer named Loraine Lawson got him out on a technicality, only to have him work (kill) for her.
for more ...have a read of season one.

he will return soon...!

[Wandercreature]

Guys, all of you have such amazing villains. It's awesome to have them collected here in one thread.

[AnnaLandin]

You're lucky - my antagonist finally showed up in the comic, so I can post about him now!

Meet Lord Kobayashi, a very skinny and very tired-looking man in clothes that have definitely seen better days!

His goals and purpose are pretty mysterious so far, but he and his tiny righthand woman Wen are responsible for sending out the latest round of inept thugs after my protagonist, Masahiro. He claims those thugs were sent out to recover something of his that was taken from him, but what that is - and why it's missing - is not yet clear.

Also, this is Wen:

She packs a lot of anger into a very tiny body, so it's pretty explosive.

[TheVoidchildProject]

I prefer the term "antagonist" to "villain". And my comic Voidchild is meant to feature a number of those. But here's the most obvious one so far:

Nelson Movian:

What we know about him so far is that he's part of of some kind of clandestine organisation. He resides in Victoria (the fictional city in Voidchild). He's got resources, a high level of intelligence and cunning. He's shown sadistic traits and self-serving motives and has attempted the sacrifice of three infant children in exchange for power, the purpose of which has yet to be explored. But it's clear that he's willing to go pretty far for them.

What we don't know about him so far is what his end goal is and whether it differs from the organisation he's part of. He recognises the protagonist of Voidchild, even though he's never met her. But I've not yet explained how and why (but will be doing that very soon). It is unclear what role he will be playing in the future of Voidchild.

Also, he's kind of a jerk!

[guilleum2]

For my Porcelain comic I currently have this fella Chezzy:

I have more "villains" that will appear later but this is the only one who has been revealed!

[ahkwardkat]

I assume the lighter one is Davion? That looks like a really mean character in a mental anguish sort of way. XD Like they'd rather make you mentally suffer than physically or a mix of both. XD Left one just looks bad and mean in all senses of the word.

As for mine, I have two main "sets" of villains from my comic "Naor" :

The first one is Tuhk. He appears on the cover and in Chapters 1 and 3 as his first real "shows". Chapter three is when you really learn about him.

The second set is Za and Aros (respectively). Za pretty much does what Aros says and Aros is a egotistical butthead with no self control. XD Aros appears in chapter 14 I believe. Other than that, I won't say more until I get to his chapter.

[Reraser]

VULPES!

Hyperdriven's conflict is more Woman Vs. Environment, but I've been attache to Vulpes' whole aesthetic since I dreamt them up, and they're like an emissary of the universe's rudeness. They're a fashionista, so it's a lot of fun to express facets of them through fashion.
