Here's another important rule I just came up with: Don't underestimate comedic qualites of villains.

You see, it seems to me that more villains are getting rejected than approved simply because they have even the slightest comedic qualites and that's not enough to reject them. And in all honesty, that seems rather pathetic. Just because a particular villain has comediec qualities does not necearily rule htem out as Pure Evil.

Lots of approved PE villains have comedic qualites. (Syndrome, Dag, Katz, Thrax, etc.) Well, just having few comedic qualites ain't necearily enough to rule them out of the PE list, they just have very sadistic senses of humor. Even the most serious villains have the smallest twisted seneses of humor. (ex: Frollo: "I'm sure you'll whip my men into shape.")

Point said, keep this in mind: don't underestimate comedic qualities of a villain. There has to be more than just comedic traits to rule them out of the Pure Evil proposal.
