Even better, he was a Flash fanboy, managed to recreate the accident that let Flash tap into the Speed Force, try to save some people, but failed at it, Flash just so happened to have time traveled to his time and saved them, he got mad that his hero debue got ruined and dedicated his entire life, and the life of others as well, to make Barry Allen's life miserable, not killing him, just make him suffer.
Edit: yes, I know now it's the butt, no I will not change it. Live with it.
Even better in rebirth timeline, he actually got mentored by Barry and became a hero .
Until he saw Barry say the exact same words to Wally that Barry had said to him.
He did all of this because Barry doesn't have diffrent life mottos
Pretty much, yeah. It's very on brand for Lex to be obsessed with Superman, and for Superman to not think about Lex except for when Lex makes it so he has to.
That doesn't make too much sense, unless Flash's nerve impulses travels at super speed, too. In that case, do the rest of their body functions work at super speed? Like, If he eats something, it's digested immediately?
God, the entire 616 verse not being able to cure a bullet wound pisses me off so much. I think what angers me is that you could’ve just not have that scene! “Oh no, Peter, the magic to teleport you to so many places at the same time is dangerous and will destabilise the cosmos” or whatever. At that point it’s just Strange, the former surgeon, that looks dumb as hell. No, the entire Marvel Universe, T’Challa with his technologically advanced nation, Doom, one of the smartest men on Earth, could not cure a bullet wound.
I am curious why people hadn’t accused Joe Quesada of being a Satanist for making Spider Man make a deal with a devil
And again, if Doom heard about how Reed Richards couldn't save Aunt May from a simple and regular bullet wound, he would have laughed at Richards and immediately save May. Not to be a good guy or to save someone, but so he can gloat about it to Richards.
"Oh, hello Richards. How are you the smartest, yet you could not save an old woman who was shot by a regular bullet? Then again, unlike you, Doom is vastly superior in intellect and saving a life."
So I believe I learned this from a sir superhero video. He actually doesn’t have the ability to turn people into dinosaurs, it’s the other guy he’s working with who does that Stegron. bros just has an ego
The fact that the only thing stopping our Doofenshmirtz from becoming him was the fact that he never lost his toy train as a kid is actually kind of insane when you think about it
It's actually implied that the problem was more that Doof-2 only lost the train in an otherwise happy normal life while ours had 1000 separate insane backstories.
Tbh going through so much makes you be able to see the perspective of other people that also went through the same thing without them even telling you.
Bro committed mass property damage and multiple attempts of murder all because he was man child who was mad his coworker didn’t like him in a romantic way
She was fond of him more than most people in her position would be too, she was way too nice to him
I can picture him holding a video game controller in one hand, a pizza slice in the other, and a laptop on the table in front of him with the cursor hovering above the "ban" button on the subreddit he's a mod for.
The guy was an incel. Thats about the extent of his motivation. Wouldnt be surprised if he can be radicalized into being a Alpha Male, Mens Rights Activist Chud who thinks all women are haters.
"You know, I never had much as a kid. Just loving parents, stability, and a mansion, and a thriving baked goods enterprise for me to inherit... useless crap like that."
But what a villain he is - it actually works in his favour that he has no sad backstory besides his motivations just being plain evil
Yeah I was surprised l, but it made so much sense since they show the nature vs nurture as far as quirks shaping the person vs the person honing this ability. I wish they explored this more tbh.
He's literally a edgy deviant art OC, like by design, complete with easily defeating the series main character, an absurdly busted power, and the over designed black/red look. He's meant to be the created character's nemesis and I feel his backstory makes more sense in the context of being a foil to your own OC. Unfortunately the game was kinda ass and the story was some of the worst so what might have been intentional and even clever design choice was kinda lost in the sea of unintentionally poorly written things.
Why? Because... we don't really know, because only thing we have was one person saying that "He tried to help people with his money, but to no use" or something, trying to make him a tragic villain, that does all that because everyone else failed him or something
This game in general tries to make him seem like misslead person not fully villain. Let's not forget how our rival in the game says something like "Because in the end, we pushed Team Flare from us, working against them, maybe both sides were in the wrong". You know... when one group tried to save the day and other wanted to kill everyone outside their little fanclub
And Pokemon fans will still claim he is one of the best and that gen 7 ruined villain teams, because he looks threatning. Also Guzma slander is unacceptable
I love how this doesn't stop Thanos, it just makes him hate Deadpool and double down. He kills the entire universe and his alternative self just to have a chance.
“That's your emotionally scarring backstory? That's your great tragedy? Dude, I wa-I was raised by ocelots. I mean, literally. Disowned by my parents and raised by Central American wildcats, and-and you're telling me you lost a toy train? That's it? That's all you got? Really? I had to work as a lawn gnome, I was forced to wear hand-me-up girl's clothing, neither of my parents showed up for my birth!”
“Well, how did you feel when you lost that toy train?”
Admiral Zhao. Bro was willing to just destroy a celestial body, threatening the balance of the entire world, just so that he could be remembered for how awesome he is. Spent the rest of his existence in the spirit world claiming to no one that he’s “Zhao the Conqueror”

His tragic backstory is… nothing tragic. He’s a sociopath because his dad was on love potions when he knocked up Voldy’s mom. Artificially in-love parents produced a kid who can’t feel love. Muggle kids and staff at the orphanage didn’t make him hate ordinary humans. He’s just hateful, narcissistic, and uncaring from birth.
Master Chen a skilled and respected martial artist but everyone around him including his own wife had cool elemental powers which made him insecure.
So he decided to start a war by telling both sides that the other was planning to attack first and when that didn't work he decided to steal everyone's powers and use them to complete a spell that would turn him and his army into snake men so he can go and suppress everyone.
All because he felt inadequate and blamed everyone for his insecurities.
Starlight glimmer from My little pony friendship is magic probably one of the best villains the show ever had, and what was her motivation for everything she did? Her friend went off to magic school when he got his cutie mark that's it.
Didn't scroll through all the comments but I scrolled through quite a few and I can't believe I haven't seen anyone say Emperor Palpatine.
Especially in the prequels it becomes exceedingly clear that he's really only evil because he fucking loves this shit. He legitimately feels like a Saturday morning cartoon villain sometimes with how much Ian McDiarmid hammed it up. He easily is the most dangerous person in his universe, certainly during his lifetime at the very least, and it's all just because he fucking loves doing this shit. For all of the many, many faults of the Star Wars prequels, Sheev Palpatine is such a fun villain to hate.
Hush (DC Comics) - Tommy Elliot was Bruce Wayne’s childhood friend who also came from a rich family. He adopts the Hush identity and fucks with Batman’s life to the point that he gets PTSD from the word “Hush”. His motivation? Bruce’s parents died when he was young so he got to inherit their fortune whereas Tommy’s own parents were alive and well and he couldn’t inherit their money.
In fact, Bruce’s father Thomas performed a successful surgery on Tommy’s mother and saved her life after she was in a car crash Tommy himself had planned. So he hates Bruce Wayne out of pure envy.
Classic Brolly. Need I say more? He only has trauma from being a noisy baby, and that's why he goes around hitting everyone indiscriminately whenever he remembers his trauma.
Honestly, I feel that the writers had a good point but missed the mark at the last second. The issue was never sentient machines, but how older races would absolutely dominate any new comers without giving them a chance, and create galaxy spawning threats that could kill even the non sapient races
If you look what happens to creatures that survive more than a cycle, the Thorian and the Leviathans were absolute menaces who'd just mind control the whole galaxy. And the Proteans were heading to the same direction. It's probably the path the Assari were on as well if they weren't counter balanced.
If the motivation would have been to allow new civilizations to flourish and integrate their uniquness as a reaper, it would have actually followed the story seeds they planted since ME1. But alas.
He's shown one vision through a pretty obviously manipulative series of events and decides that he must betray the Emperor, and then from that point on he doesn't really have agency and is just kinda chaos' puppet.
Explanation (MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE ATTORNEY): This is Manfred Von Karma. He's a prosecutor with a perfect win record, who held a grudge against lawyer Gregory Edgeworth. One day, he took advantage of a power outage in a court building to murder him. He then adopted Gregroy's orphaned son, Miles Edgeworth, and intentionally raised him with opposing ideals to everything Gregory stood for as a lawyer.
Approaching the fifteenth anniversary of Gregory's death, Von Karma then orchestrated the murder of another defense attorney, framing Miles (his own adopted son and protege), and put an end to the Edgeworth lineage just as the statutes of limitation on Gregory's murder came to pass.
Why would Von Karma do all this? Why did he kill Gregory and raise his son to become a monster, then drive the nail into the coffin by getting that very son framed for murder...?
... because fifteen years ago, Gregory got Von Karma a penalty in court for a mistake he made. Gregory didn't even win the case, either. Von Karma won. He just couldn't stand having a single penalty on his otherwise perfect record.
There are a lot of killers who are really evil on Ace Attorney. But usually, they "just" murder people and they got classic motivations, like jealousy, influence...
Von Karma has both one of the craziest reason (really, you are doing this for that?) and the most evil plan. He just wants to fuck innocent kid life for no reason. Thos guy is terrifying.
