Now that we eff intensity three of Heroes will be call “ Villains , ” it ’s not too soon to begin steady ourselves for the worst . After all , that show has n’t had thegreatest track recordin creating and sustaining villains so far . There ’s no surefire way to make a baddie scarey and memorable . But there are some evidence methods for making your baddie tedious and wimpy , and Heroes has used a few of them . Here ’s the consummate list of how to create a boring scoundrel .
Over - exposure . We ’ve look way , way too much of Bob the Company flunkey on Heroes . But there are even worse examples . The Master on classic MD Who comes to listen : He appeared in one story and was awesome . So why not have him appear in every storey after that ? Always hatch one daft scheme after another , always not quite managing to belt down the Doctor . And then in the eighties , the show had Anthony Ainley on declaration to play the Master twice a year , like clockwork .
Draggy , saggy storylines . Sylar has many top executive , but the power to hold our attention while he seduces the inky - eye woman is n’t one of them . It take him like twenty hour to get to first basis with her . This is more often a problem in comic Book , where storylines get moved around . Kurt Busiek wrote a plot line where the Atlantean clock time traveler Arion comes forward in fourth dimension to torment Superman , because he believes Superman will smash the Earth . This plot line was supposed to last eight months , but lagged because of delays in other matter and cross - overs with other titles . Busiek had to keep putting off the resolution to the Arion plot line , until it lasted more like sixteen month .
The villain ca n’t defeat the hero , because … It ’s spoiled enough when the baddie attempt to shoot down the bomber over and over , and never follow . But it ’s horrendous when the scoundrel makes a language about how he / she ca n’t kill the hero because the hoagy must first fulfill some purpose , or because the Heron may cognize something , blah blah rant … It becomes a crutch for lazy writers .
center handler . The Holy Grail of villainy is a character who ’s complex and misunderstood , and has a believable decimal point of view . Plus if you ’ve ever had a crappy power job , it ’s beguiling to make your scoundrel the reincarnation of your annoying boss . But this can lead to speculative hombre like Bob , who really just ought to be secure photocopier newspaper jams . OrMing the Micromanager , over in Flash Gordon .

turn them into quasi - good guys . The best villain Heroes ever had was Claire ’s dad , aka Horn - Rimmed Glasses . He was creepy and perturbing , but you could also sense he had a core of decency to him . So of class he had to go and become a Tarnished Good Guy ( TM ) , who still plump over the line from time to time but has a good spunk anyway . This is a continuing job that can , uh , Spike your most interesting villain .
Everybody ’s related to . So far , Angela Petrelli has been the most wearisome baddie on Heroes , because all she ever does is scold her indolent - fanny kids for mess in her clientele . She actually has the potential to become the show ’s dependable villain , because she ’s totally cold - blooded and reprehensible . But we need to see her demonstrating a magnanimous vision than just making her son President of the United States or whatever . She should have a monstrous programme , or an agenda , or something other than a line for her child .
