Tea Time Villlains

This entry deals with a minute sect of the second kind of villain. They have been dubbed the "Tea Time Villains." The reason for this name is because the inspiration for this theory was Prof. James Moriarty.

Definition

A Tea Time Villain is the kind who would be able to sit down with their arch-nemisis and have a discussion before they enter into the epic, climatic battle. This is the key factor that seperates these people from the rest of the arch enemies out there as many couldn't stand to be in the same room as the hero.
