[quote=@Sep] What if villians have to be applied for at the start of the season before the ic drops so they can work out a plan with the parent hero. Rather than force an agenda mid season. [/quote] That's not a bad idea. I think people can be villains or bad guys if they show they can be creative enough to not be completely dependent upon the hero. Some of my favorite books/movies/comics/etc. are ones that feature a villain protagonist.
