"That sweet loathing just poured out of me whenever I saw his pathetic face! I just-I just wanted to kick his ass! I wanted to build a machine to kick his ass! I wanted to BUILD AN EMPIRE TO HOUSE THE MACHINE TO KICK HIS ASS!!"

- The Monarch

The principal enemy of the hero. The reason why the particular villain stands out more than the rest varies; they may be the hero's strongest enemy, be the complete antithesis to the hero, have strong connections with their hero's past, pose the greatest threat, or may be the most recurring villain. Examples of Archenemy: The Joker, Agent Smith, The Leader, Ghostface, Marx, and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII.
