A Magnificent Baddie is a villain who remain likable despite their crimes. They are admired by their fans and audiences because they are cunning, intelligent, manipulative, entertaining and overall hardcore and baller.

Important Note: They cannot possess any traits that make them too vile or disgusting. Therefore, they cannot be racists, sexists, LGBTQ+ bashers, ableists, abusers of children, the disabled, or the elderly, domestic abusers, or rapists. They also cannot be man-children, dimwitted, incompetent, petty, cowardly, or paranoid because all of those are characteristics that detract from their magnificence.

Categories or traits to cautiously consider:

  • Pure Evil, Near Pure Evil, and Inconsistently Heinous: While most villains under any of these three categories are generally too vile or disgusting to qualify, they still can for as long as they meet all the criteria.
  • Animal Cruelty: Depends on the severity. Zoophiles and those who senselessly harm their pets, for example, are a no-no. However, wildlife smugglers may occasionally qualify.
  • Sociopaths: Based on their abilities to play people can play others like violins, they can sometimes qualify. However, they absolutely cannot be Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, etc. levels of vile or disgusting.
  • Sadists: If a Magnificent Baddie just so happens to also be a sadist then their sadism needs to have at least some limits.
