Black Hat (Villainous)

"This is Black Hat! Here to make your most wicked thoughts come to life! Literally!"

- Black Hat

Black Hat is the protagonist villain of the Spanish web series Villainous. He is an immensely powerful supervillain who makes a living by selling weapons, traps and other devices to other villains, as well as the boss of Dr. Flug, Demencia and 5.0.5.

He was voiced by the series' creator Alan Ituriel in the original Spanish dub and English dub.

Description
Black Hat is portrayed as a cruel, sadistic and narcissistic fiend who does his part to make the world a little more vile and its heroes a little more dead.

Appearance
So far, Black Hat has been shown wearing only his formal attire, if the show progresses he might be shown wearing something else.

He wears a black trench coat reaching down near the ankles, the collar of which is popped. Under that he wears a red and gray undershirt, along with long gray pants as well as black and white dress shoes. He wears his iconic black top hat with a red band going around the bottom, and dark gray gloves and a black tie.

Black Hat appears to have dark gray skin. His sharp teeth are pale green, and his left eye is covered by what looks like a monocle.

Personality
Black Hat is known for being an extremely pompous and manipulative Individual. He is a cruel and outright narcissistic man who takes pleasure in the misery of others, as well as constantly abuses his minion Dr. Flug both physically and verbally. Black Hat is also a quite sly, sinister, and intimidating man, as he likes to scare people, including scaring both Dementia and 5.0.5 in a couple of the shorts. He has no redeeming or anti-villainous qualities whatsoever and is completely evil through and through.

Powers and Abilities

 * High Intelligence: Black Hat is shown to be extremely smart throughout the series, and it is heavily implied that he is smart enough to create his own inventions, although he likely has Dr. Flug create them instead because he does not want to concern himself with "lackey work".
 * Shapeshifting: On various occasions, Black Hat changes his appearance in order to fool/torment others, the most notable example of this being when he changed himself into a perfect replica of 5.0.5 in order to terrify Demencia.
 * Size Manipulation: Likely as another form of his shapeshifting, Black Hat can change the size of his body to that of a giant, although he has only been shown using this ability once.
 * Laser Vision: Black Hat once killed a Blue-jay by shooting deadly lasers out of his eyes.
 * Charisma/Manipulation: Black Hat, as a salesman, uses various forms of charisma and manipulation to convince other villains to buy his inventions.
 * LFF1.pngPortal Creation: Black Hat seems to be able to open portals (possibly to the underworld, as shown by the ghosts coming out of the portal he opened), as shown in the fourth episode "Squeak" when he scratches 5.0.5.'s blackboard.
 * "The Force": In the Villainous Orientation video, "The Missing Files of Elmore", Black Hat uses an ability like the force from Star Wars to choke Dr. Flug.
 * Shadow Teleportation: Also in the AWOG Villainous Orientation video, Black Hat is shown to be able to teleport by dissolving himself into a shadowy mist.
