Does Animal House truly epitomizes the idea for the best way to be a true villain?

DEAN VERNON WORMER, who proved that absolute power corrupts absolutely. He wanted to cull the weak into subserviency or remove them from his land. And yet, he was as equally depraved as any of Delta House.

GREGORY MARMALARD, who led his fraternity to follow Wormer in his goals unwaveringly and believed in his own superiority over others that he could not recognize his own short comings.

CHIP DILLER, who could not see anything other than the way to be a success was bootlicking those in power without once developing his own character.

BARBARA “BABS” JENSEN, who doublecrossed her best friend so she could be with he who she thought would grant her power, wealth and prestige.

and DOUGLAS NEIDERMEYER. A man who would shame and ridicule any who judged as inferior to him. A man who would fired a rifle at a man with a seltzer bottle for a weapon. A man who saw himself as a MacArthur or a Patton but, never learned how to lead men.
