Sinister Beginnings

Write the backstory of your superhero’s arch-nemesis, focusing on the event or events that caused them to turn evil.

What caused your antagonist to take the detour down the path of evil? Were they born with a dark heart or was it the product of tragedy, rebellion, or manipulation? This prompt encourages you to delve deep into your character’s past, their motivations and allows room for a complex portrayal. It also gives a chance to explore themes of good and evil, moral choices, and the impact of life experiences.
