Etymology
The word supervillain is made of super- and villain, where super- means 'above' or 'beyond', like in superstar, and villain long ago meant a 'farm worker' but came to mean a 'bad person'. So, a supervillain is a very bad enemy with extra powers or advanced technology who fights superheroes.
