Overview
When you hear the word 'villain', you probably have a specific image in mind. A go-to bad guy or girl from popular culture like the Joker, with very specific attire and an evil laugh. However, evil or bad intentions are often masked behind an appearance of kindness or purity. Learning how to truly determine who is good and who is bad is complex, and it requires letting go of stereotypes and preconceived ideas.
Using examples of comic book heroes and villains, Chuck Klosterman explains why we think of some people as evil, even though they aren't - and vice versa.
