Jerk. A stupid one at that.

Remember that the Villains Wiki:Rules, 6.3, defines a villain as "Wicked doing Evil." Doing heroics for money, fame, and glory might make you mercenary, but doesn't necessarily make you Wicked or Evil. Even though Casanova blew up the sanitarium the very night he was released, nothing in the narrative indicates that Amazing expected that. So while arguably legally responsible and liable for that act, he is not complicit. Meaning he did not release Casanova with the expectation that he would blow up innocents so quickly.

Now, Syndrome may seem similar in that he wanted to recognized and seen as a hero and bask glory of one, but his *own* plans involved the serial deaths of actual heroes.
