Challenge #234 - Justified Villain

[itsanonyx]

So far we had Challenges about Villains but never about Villains with Justifiable Motives so I thought we could focus about them for this Challenge.

Villains with justifiable motives are antagonists whose actions, while extreme or destructive, stem from relatable, rational, or empathetic foundations, such as trauma, injustice, or the desire to protect others. These characters are often right about the problem but take the wrong path to fix it.

How you define Justifiable Motives is totally up to you. It's only important that the character is classified as Villian and you think that they were right in any sort of way.
