Does every villain have an origin story? And can you give some examples?
Sure. Take the Joker in the Batman comics. His origin is quite murky and has been told in different ways. One common origin story is that he was a failed comedian who had a series of bad breaks in life. This drove him mad and turned him into the chaotic and evil Joker. It's these origin stories that often add depth to the villains and make them more than just simple bad guys.
Definitely. Magneto from the X - Men series is another case. He is a mutant who witnessed the persecution of his kind. His experiences during the Holocaust, seeing his family and fellow mutants suffer, made him bitter towards humanity. His origin story is what fuels his actions as a villain. He believes mutants should be in control because of what he has endured, and this makes his character more understandable and multi - faceted.
