all of these villains have a few similarity's whether they are trying to take over the world or just want revenge on someone.
Firstly the eyes, they are usually either wide open and crazy looking giving the impression that the villain is completely insane, or the eyes are slits giving the impression that they are intelligent and calculating. Sometimes there is a mix between the two types, at one particular moment they could experience a particularly over the top crazy session which shows just how mental they can be. at another moment they could narrow their eyes, thinking and calculating their next move, making them just as dangerous. Both these types have there own advantages, the wide-eyed crazy villain doesn't think of the consequences of their actions, preferring to lash out as hard and fast as they can showing no limit to what they will do. The calculating villain spends more time thinking about their moves and how to cause maximum chaos while trying to avoid the attention.

Jafar, Disney villain from Aladdin, is more the narrowed-eyed calculating villain, constantly thinking and planning but also experiencing a few moments were he looks wide-eyed and crazy. The eyebrows are also rather high on the head and are at an obvious angle when looking head on moving diagonally as the eyebrow moves from the nose out towards the top of the eye. this really brings out an evil side when the eyes are narrowed as the eyebrows look very threatening almost like wings from a bird of prey. He is quite tall making him tower over others as though he is some sort of god with long boney fingers making him almost skeleton like. And then there is the colour scheme which is mostly made up of black and red, emphasising darkness, danger, anger and evil.

Hades, villain from Hercules, is much more of a crazy villain than a patient and calculating one. the narrowed eyes appear more when angry rather than calculating the next move. Like Jafar he has a long thin face, almost inhuman, with long boney fingers giving a skeleton look. He has yellow eyes and pointed teeth making him look rather grotesque. He is completely obsessed with power and doesn't care how he goes about getting it. He has a blue flame for hair which also gives off a much colder side to the villain, showing he has no conscience for his actions, but the flame turns orange when he gets angry to show the more angry and inflamed side he has. He wears a black robe which can indicate death, darkness and evil. as he moves he glides along the floor with black wisps of flame moving around his feet and also likes waving his arms around as though trying to explain something to someone and becoming impatient that they are still not getting it.
