What Drives Your Villains?
Villains will be most cool if they got cunning plans and strategies. That's one aspect to be feared from villains. Also, some villains desire immortality (If they were human) and seeks to remain so (If they achieved it) by feasting on the life of others. (Like soul or blood for vampires)
How to write a villain.
Very nice article. I too have always thought about these stuffs. Every villain is a villain for his/her reasons. Some might be because of suffering in the past and revenge, some because of greed, or even simply forced to become one by a greater evil. Also, there is no harmony in the world of villains. Alliances are as fragile as a cracking glass. Each villain would naturally plots to take over all profits gained through the alliance by snapping out his/her ally after "Using" them. Also, villains are feared mostly not of their power alone but also of their cunning strategies and plotting. The origin of their powers are also important. Their past can shape their personality. Oh, one more thing. Villains are mainly deceptive, unfair and cannot be trusted AT ALL.
