How are Villains Made

In the fantasy world, be it comic book, game, anime, or movie, there are villains. Most of these villains start off as good folk pushed to the ends of their morals by those who they thought were their allies. Of course, some of them are born villains.

However, in the real world, that is not the case. As human beings, we believe that every man is in essense, good. We are all born good, with the capacity to do evil. And our evil tencdencies are triggered by other's evil deeds, usually by someone trusted.

Let's take the example of the Green Goblin for the movie Spider-Man. At the start of the movie, he is, in a way, a good man. He does, however, attend to his work most of the time. Then the board members of the company that he built opted to take him out of the picture. He then takes his 'super soldier formula' and uses it on himself. Thus, transforming him into the Green Goblin. Of course, the comic book story is different but you get the idea.

So do be carefull with how you treat others. You might be planting the seed of hate and turn someone into a villain.
