Supervillain

Have you played any pretend games where you are the bad guy and your friends are the good guys? Well, Supervillains are like the bad guys in these games.

They are characters in stories, movies or comic books who are really bad people. They often have superhuman powers or evil plans to take over the world.

For example, the Joker from Batman is a supervillain. He is really bad and does mean things like stealing, hurting people, and causing chaos. He has no morals and just wants to destroy the good guy (Batman), who is trying to protect the city.

Supervillains are the opposite of superheroes. They usually have extraordinary powers to do evil things, whereas superheroes have special powers to do good and save people.

So, Supervillains are make-believe bad guys in stories, movies, and comic books that do really bad things and often have special powers to hurt people or take over the world.
