Intergalactic villains are fictional characters often found in science fiction stories, movies, and video games. They typically possess advanced technology and powers that allow them to threaten entire planets or galaxies. These characters often have grand schemes, such as conquering worlds or stealing valuable resources, and they frequently clash with heroes or protagonists who seek to stop them. Common traits of intergalactic villains include a desire for power, revenge, or domination. They may lead armies of alien creatures or command powerful starships, like those seen in the Star Wars franchise. Notable examples include Darth Vader and Thanos, who embody the archetype of the formidable antagonist in their respective universes.
