Day #13 of the 30 Day Halloween Challenge
This is Day 13 of 30 Days of Halloween Challenge
A favorite villain in a film, book or television series.
The Weeping Angels from Doctor Who
Stephen Moffat created the weeping angels - which if you blink, they move and if they get close enough - they throw you into another time line.
The Weeping Angels were an extremely powerful species of quantum-locked humanoids (sufficient observation changes the thing being observed), so called because their unique nature necessitated that they often covered their faces with their hands to prevent trapping each other in petrified form for eternity by looking at one another. This gave the Weeping Angels their distinct "weeping" appearance. They were known for being "kind" murderous psychopaths, eradicating their victims "mercifully" by dropping them into the past and letting them live out their full lives, just in a different time period. This, in turn, allowed them to live off the remaining time energy of the victim's life. However, when this potential energy paled in comparison to an alternative power source to feed on, the Angels were known to kill by other means, such as snapping their victims' necks.

I loved The Weeping Angels - best villain ever. I don't, however, consider them exactly monsters...

Oh, another trait of narcissism - or rule of thumb? If you think you might be a narcissist, you probably aren't. Narcissists are completely un-selfaware. They don't see themselves as narcissists at all - and often see themselves as the victim. If you told a narcissist that they were - they'd deny it or refuse to see it. It's not something you can change or cure - there is no cure for narcissistic personality disorder.
Whedon loved narcissistic villains - Cordelia aka Beast Lady, The Mayor, and Glory all fall within that category. I'd say the Mayor and Angelus were probably the best of that group.

Are we still talking about Angel?

But generally speaking that applies to real life narcissists as well. Vote for a narcissist as a leader? Prepare to die.
