Evil/Evil Genius (Time Bandits)

Evil is the primary antagonist of the 1981 live action movie 'Time Bandits. 'He is a humerous representation of the personification of evil, and opposes the supreme being. He threatens to hurt the film's protagonists when they begin to interfere with his plans to recreate the universe.

Plot
Evil wishes to steal a map of all the time holes in the universe from the main protagonists of the film. He plans on using this artifact to go back to the beginning of time and recreate the universe in his image. He manages to convince the band of anti-heroes to seek out his fortress by controlling one of their minds.

He tempts the protagonists with an absurd prize, and manages to trick them into giving him the map. Fortunately, they retained a photograph of the map, and were able to gather an army to attempt to take him on. Evil proves to be too powerful for any of them, using magic, and controlling their technology in order to lay their forces to waste. He manages to crush one of them to death under a pillar. Just when it looks like all hope is lost and he is going to destroy heroes and rewrite the history of the universe, Evil becomes a charred statue which spontaneously explodes. Though he dies, Evil still remains a dangerous force. Upon finding a small chunk of the Evil's smoking corpse, the main protagonist Kevin's parents touch it, causing them to spontaneously combust and leaving him an orphan.

Personality
Evil is an arrogant and cruel overlord, who punishes his minions at the slightest hint of resistance or weakness. He enjoys tormenting and controlling others, and is deeply bitter about his relationship to the supreme being (as he is the supreme being's creation.) Evil is petty, and destroys his minions for extremely minor offenses. Evil is extremely obsessed with technology, though his understanding of it is weak. Evil wishes to make a better universe with the ill defined goal of integrating technology into every aspect. Evil is quite powerful, and seems to be relatively fearless. He never shows sympathy and only rarely shows mercy. Evil considers himself a reasonable man, though it is obvious that his self image is not in line with reality.
