Welcome to another 30 day challenge which in honor of spooky season will cover the topic of Pop Culture Villains!

“We’re not so different, you and I!” is a phrase uttered by many a villain. Sometimes a villain share strong overlap of powers/backstory/motivation with the hero, and sometimes the villain is literally “what if hero, but evil”. And so, whether we’re talking Injustice Superman or *gestures at a lot of the MCU*, the main prompt of today is: What are are your favorite and least favorite Evil Doppelganger Villains? Both of the “exaggarated version of Hero’s principles” and “Ant Man, but the suit is yellow” variants

NOTE: This does NOT refer to “POLAR OPPOSITE OF HERO” villains!

Brightburn Prompt: Best and worst “Superman, but EVIL!” stories/characters?

Maniacal prompt: Most forced/unearned attempt to justify a villain reflective of the hero? What parralels were left woefully undercooked?

Machiavellian Prompt: Who’s crying out for a Dark Doppelganger of their own?
