Why was Killmonger a great villain? In this episode, Cheryl and Lara chat about the relationship between superheroes and their villain counterparts, and how Killmonger differs from other Marvel villains. We also chat through the main difference between villains and “super-villains” - more specifically, what makes super-villains stand out amongst all the evil characters in the superhero genre.
