So retro!! Old cylons win hands down.

I've got something a little different now. No pictures this time. I'm only going to do two rounds like this, but I'll space them out.

This time, I want you to decide which type of villain you like best. So, I'm going to describe, real concise like, two different types of villains, and you vote for your favorite type.

Archenemy

The archenemy is often the hero's greatest enemy. There tends to be an emotional bond between this type of enemy and the protagonist. So, this type of enemy is personal. It poses the greatest threat to the protagonist. This enemy is typically portrayed as being very dangerous and typically never dies in a series of horror books, novels, games, comics, etc.

The Supervillain

Def. They're similar, however, the supervillain tends to be more sociopathic, sadistic, works alone, (could possibly be in a group). A supervillain wants emmense power, like over the world, but why stop there... why not the universe? However, they're single minded, tending to attempt the same plans over and over the exact same way, regardless of the fact that the plans have failed... every time.
