The greatest superheroes face rogue’s galleries full of colorful foes. What makes a great supervillain? How evil do they have to be? Are they truly insane or just having fun? Travis Langley (Daredevil Psychology: The Devil You Know; Wonder Woman Psychology: Lassoing the Truth), Peter Coogan (Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre), Kathleen McClancy (Texas State University), and Alan Kistler (Doctor Who: A History) offer a look at the history of supervillains and an exploration of what they really are. Find out which came first—the superhero or the villain—and which one needs the other more.
