I find that most villains are actually very wise and often wronged in some way. Like a smart man once said: "Why do men turn bad? Because they're hurting." Heroes are idealists, villains are idealists with a broken heart.

You think of me as the villain of your story, don't you? Well let me open your eyes, because you're the villain of my story as well."* _"Don't be ridi-"_ *"How many men have I killed? Three. All three were men like you who decided that their natural powers were enough to kill me, so I killed them in self defense."* _"That doesn't-"_ *"I'm. Not. Finished."* _"..."_ *"How many women? Two. For the exact same reason. How many children? None. For the only children that I have access to and vice versa are powerless, just like I was."* _"You can't be serious, right?"_ *"Stop projecting already, you know what I mean. I've killed only in self defense, never harmed a hair on a child's head, and out of us two standing here? You're the one who killed **_my_** dear pet."* _"That... That isn't true, you don't have-"_ *"I don't have WHAT!? A HEART?! I DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LOVE SOMETHING?!! ALL BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE **_ME_** TO BE THE VILLAIN?!

They're all those powerless children you claimed to save. They're all just like me."* _"Stop trying to trick me!!"_ *"I am not the villain of this story you close-minded-.... I am only the antithesis of what you stand for. Your most famous phrase 'Those who are born with power are meant to defend those without' is a lie. Those born with power only exist to hide that the powerless can gain and surpass those born with it. I am not your villain, you are mine."*
