Villains

Villains have always had better names. This is a structural truth of fiction. Heroes get one syllable; villains get four.

The trick with a villain middle name is to commit. No half-measures. No "Vex Daniel." Either you're a creature of pure malice or you're a guy named Daniel.

Forty villains follow. Hand-curated. Lock the doors.
