What kind of villain do you want to see in the game?

[Chasingstars]

I'd like a villain that is simply evil. At this point, we have rooted out a LOT of bad guys and evil organizations. That has definitely created a power vacuum. There are a lot of archetypes I think would be fun, but I'll just name a few followed by what I don't want to see.

An evil version of us. On a different shard, our reflection chose darkness where we chose light.

An organization that, while individually powerless, comes together to control the world from the shadows. If the world is changing, they want to take control of that change. We can mix in new and old characters for some shock value. Like some NPCs we've known to be morally bankrupt but haven't had the opportunity to levy it.

I do not want chaotic evil/manic pixie baddie that is unhinged for the sake of being unhinged. That's too one note. Give them a reason to be evil. They have a goal they are pursuing. They acknowledge the forces of good, but CHOOSE to follow a darker path.

I do not want a sympathetic villain. The fandom WILL sympathize with anything, but I don't want CBU3 to design the villain to be sympathetic. The intent matters here.

I'd say mild sympathy would work if you want a dark reflection of the warrior of light. Where like the WoL, they saved the world, stopped threats, cause crime to go down, but they rule their shard with an iron fist. Where our WoL works towards making a better tomorrow through positive change, the dark reflection creates a dystopia in the belief of a better tomorrow.
