Steve Carrell as Villain "Dr. Nightshade"

In this new superhero movie, Steve Carell is cast as the enigmatic and charismatic villain named Dr. Alexander Nightshade. Dr. Nightshade, once a brilliant and well-respected scientist in the field of genetic engineering, faced a personal tragedy when he lost his family in a catastrophic accident. This accident was indirectly caused by a careless superhero, leading Dr. Nightshade to harbor a deep resentment against all superheroes.

Blaming the superhero community for his loss, Dr. Nightshade becomes obsessed with the idea of creating a world where superpowers are rendered obsolete. He begins experimenting with dangerous genetic modifications, aiming to develop an army of enhanced beings under his control. His experiments, however, take a toll on his own genetics, transforming him into a creature with unique and terrifying abilities.

With his once-charming demeanor replaced by a cold, calculating intellect, Dr. Nightshade emerges as a formidable villain. His ultimate plan involves unleashing a genetic virus that would strip superheroes of their powers, leveling the playing field and allowing him to enact his revenge.
