Adjective Words To Describe Villain

The villain is an evil person, one who comes up with demonic intention in some way causing harm or ruin.

The villain may actually believe that he is helping the community, but it does damage the process. In the old days, a villain would injure a depressed girl, who needed a hero to save her. These days, we see many women as villains and heroes, and a depressed girl can be a man or a society. However, the features of the archetype remain the same, only gender changes.
