Creating a good villain can be hard. It has to take the right kind of craft to pull it off but when its pulled off you'll manage to create something memorable with the villain. But what makes a good villain? Correction, what makes a dangerous villain?
A hero always strives to be in control of the conflict because the last thing they need is to have a bad guy back a hero into a corner. But what if they are backed into a corner? How will they respond? If a villain is good enough to put a hero into a false sense of security then you know that you have one dangerous individual on your hands. Lets take a look at one of the most iconic villains of them all, Darth Vader.
The dude was The Terminator before The Terminator became The Terminator. He was a living nightmare for all jedi because he can hunt you down relentlessly until he catches you and may God help you if you got captured alive. He'd kill anything and everyone just to get to that one target. It doesn't really matter where you go because he will track you down. He's the reason why so many other villains were influenced off of him. And even in the end he never lost his cool factor.
I'd say a dangerous villain is someone that not just makes a innocent civilian feel vulnerable but also the hero. Cause if a hero doesn't feel threatened by you then the villain is doing something wrong.
