We all want to be heroes in our own way but more often than not we find our actions/character tends to resemble those on the opposite side of the fence. Which villain do you identify with the most? There's no restrictions as to which Publisher they're from.
I'm pretty simple to relate to. In Marvel, I think the villain that sings to me the most is the Mole Man. Short, fat and ugly, Mole Man and me have way too many things in common, including this almost fascist attitude towards people he perceives are looking down on him. I've had times where I simply hate the world because there are too many "better-looking" people than me. I'm sure there's more to Mole Man's intentions but I think how he views the world full of "normal" people fills him with rage that he essentially got the short end of the stick in both looks and luck.
In DC, I think I relate best to Hugo Strange who is essentially a villain enamored by the idea of being the perfect man (Batman) but confuses the lines between wanting to follow that person's example and wanting to BE that person. While I was in the Army, my build and fitness was pretty sub-par especially when compared to my platoon mates. I trained like Hell to be as fit as them and it worked, I shined when I was out in the field and my stamina was solid but I didn't look ANYTHING like how I mentally envisioned myself to look thanks to my height and I think it sort of annoyed the hell out of me that while I was torturing myself to be on par with the other troops, these guys were seemingly naturally gifted, never gaining weight no matter how much they ate, never losing their fitness after periods of Battalion lull. I went as far as to try my luck with mass builders and other "health products" but as my End-date drew closer, I began to lose faith in the dream. I was wrong in so many ways.
How about you guys/gals? Any villain/villainess sings to your heart? It doesn't need to be for reasons as depressing as mine.
