Let's do a quick history lesson. The term villain was first introduced by city elites to look down upon the poor working class out in the villas, which at that point in time meant any old house in a farming village. These city elites looked down on people who couldn't live where they do and who had to work with animals. The irony is "villa" later developed the connotation of a nice large place to get/be away from the city. But whether through propaganda, slander or poor education, the general populace coopted the term "villain" to mean anyone of bad repute instead of just dirty poor villagers.
So let me be absolutely clear on one thing. I do not and have never lived in a village nor on a farm. I eat meat and am grateful to those who do live on farms. My great grandfather was a farmer, and my mom used to have a lot of fun stories from when she'd visit the farm. But I don't belong there.
Having said that, being a supervillain is incredibly refreshing.
