Heroes you love to Don't Like.

charlieranger tried to start a thread and I couldn't reply to it.
I suspect it might be because it had the word Hate in the title.

Heroes you love to hate
So I mostly played as a hero for COX, but I would really like to explore what MWM comes up with for villain protagonists. I can think of many bad guys from different games and movies that you were cheering when they were defeated, but im having a hard time wrapping my mind around what aspects of a villainous character, would drive them to loathe any particular hero. Obviously stopping my bank robbery hurts my checkbook, but with heroes, there always seems to be a moral aspect to stopping a villain.What would a villain find morally infuriating with a hero?

Any thoughts?

Here's my response that I couldn't post on his thread:

Most villains probably consider heroes an occupational hazard and not much more, but if they keep seeing the same hero over and over it get's personal.
Some villains have revenge as their main motive from the start. Like Harry Osborn when he became the green Goblin.
and way too often we see villains who had personal relationships with the hero like family members (the Juggernaut) or who shared an origin (Black Adam) or who became supervillains because of the hero's actions (the Joker) or failures (Two Face).
finally there's The Punisher or Steel Head, vigilantes who kill instead of just beating up and arresting criminals. I'm sure that really gets on the boss' nerves.
