The Big Bad, as everybody knows, is the source of conflict in a work of fiction, with their defeat being the main goal of The Hero which brings an end to that Story Arc. But, what exactly makes them such a threatening villain? Is it because Asskicking Equals Authority (and Authority Equals Asskicking)? If the protagonist is an Action Hero, he must be up against an unbeatable Action Villain, right? Well, not always. They could be extremely cunning, and able to manipulate others to do their bidding. They might be simply eviler than anybody else, willing to go to lengths others shy away from.
