  My general rule of thumb is that the more a villain brags about being evil, the less of a genuine, serious threat they&apos;re likely to be.

  The idea of a comedy villain becoming a genuinely evil villain by messing up everything for themselves like Dr. Horrible, is such an interesting story premise..

  The Joker is the perfect example of being both performative and genuinely evil. Many of his incarnations are by far the most cruel and vile villains in comics, but even the most serious depictions are shown to be motivated purely by a fascination with batman and a love of their rivalry more than anything else.

  Megamind is such a favorite of mine. Especialy his definition<br>&quot;Youre a villain allright. Just no super one!&quot; <br>&quot;Aw yeah? Whats the difference?&quot;<br>&quot;PRESENTATION&quot;<br><b>Proceeds to make a drone show while blasting guns and roses</b><br><br>He himself knows swag is more important than evilness

  Megamind is a great written story; subverting expectations that feels both natural yet unexpecting

  I feel like Dr. Dofenshmirtz is a perfect example at most he wants to inconvenience people but he always does good things some what unintentionally sometimes but he could always just not put a self destruct button on his inators but he does. He also thrives off of perry the platapus and trying to thwart him. I would go so far as to say he us an unwilling hero because he is so bad at being a villan it allows anything he involves himself in to fail almost thwarting his own evil plots or more sinister actually evil plots.

  Team Rocket from the Pokemon anime is an interesting example. &nbsp;They aren’t doing evil for themselves, it’s a job. &nbsp;They are low ranking employees. &nbsp;Ones that &nbsp;happened to find a high value mark, but low to mid level employees nonetheless.

  As soon as you mentioned being evil because it&apos;s fun, Doofenshmirtz popped up in my head

  Gru didn&apos;t just see pop a balloon to upset a child. He came across an upset child, then proceeded to make that child s balloon animal, and THEN pop it.

  The word &quot;villain&quot; used to just mean &quot;middle class&quot; in the Middle Ages, and later became synonymous with wealthy merchants who rivaled nobility. If you wanted to justify in-universe why an organization that calls itself a &quot;Villainous Club&quot; exists, they might be so old that the word meant something different when it was made.
