What is a villain in a story?
A villain is a character whose evil plans or actions drive the conflict of a story and oppose the hero. Supervillains, the costumed rivals of superheroes, became a staple of comics and blockbuster films. An AI villain portrait lets you play that role for a picture; it is costume art, not a judgment of character.

What does the villain portrait look like?
The villain portrait is a cinematic night scene: a sleek black and deep purple armored costume with a high collar under a long dark coat, no emblem or logo, a cold confident smirk, dramatic green-tinted rim light and a stormy city skyline with lightning. The face, skin tone, hair color and age stay yours, and there are no weapons.
