TWENTY-SOMETHING TUESDAY: Twenty Villains of Our Twenties

Who doesn’t love a good, ol’ fashioned villain? We certainly do. Heroes have their time and place, but a mad as a hatter baddie often steals the show and makes everyone else look just a bit dull. Plenty of people have compiled their own lists on the topic, but very few contain many samples from the last ten years. So we decided to compile a list of our twenty (ish) favorite villains from our twenties, proving that classics don’t have dibs on being bad.
