A mustache-twirling villain is awesome fun! Someone who basks in their villainy and enjoys every bit of popping the toddler's balloon and kicking the occasional puppy while hatching evil plans.

What I want to talk about is the metaphorical unicorn: a character that is too good to be true, too unlikely to be found ...
