What do Cobra Commander, Dr. Zaius and The Rhino have in
common? They're all super at being villains. Based on Kevin Maher's
presentation at Nerd Nite NYC in December 2015, you'll learn defining traits of
archetypal super villains in pop culture, with a focus on physicality, vocal
characteristics, coded mannerisms & intelligence. From early comic books to
recent blockbusters, Maher looks at how these bad guys compare to the ideal
