Villains: We all have our favorites. The adage, “A hero is only as good as the villain” holds much truth. A good villain can enhance the stakes of your story, as well as create empathy for your hero’s plight.
With that, here are my top ten favorite villains, many of whom inspired Luce, the big bad of my upcoming series, The Candace Continuum.
- Frollo (Hunchback of Notre Dame)
- Screwtape (The Screwtape Letters)
- President Coriolanus Snow (The Hunger Games)
- Marisa Coulter (His Dark Materials)
- Ursula (The Little Mermaid)
- Hades (Hercules)
- Dr. Frank-N-Furter (The Rocky Horror Picture Show)
- Rasputin (Anastasia)
- Kilgrave (Marvel’s Jessica Jones)
- Col. Tavington (The Patriot)
