Terrorists

Terrorists are criminals who use terror (hence their name) and commit flagitious and unforgivable atrocities for religious or political gain, usually varying between "lone-wolf" types to entire organizations seeking to fundamentally reshape society. Terrorists range from ruthless, yet well-intentioned anarchists such as V from V for Vendetta to extremely destructive and genocidal individuals such as Not Important. They can also be hate-mongers, fanatics or simply ruthless individuals who commit mayhem for fun or as an act of retaliation against the society or a law enforcer they hate (e.g. The Joker whom is quoted above).

This is not simply a category for villains who commit large scale destruction; in order to qualify as a terrorist a villain must have a cause beyond their own self gain that they are working for.

Many terrorists believe what they are doing is right (especially those known as Eco-Terrorists), but have no qualms about killing innocent civilians or causing massive damage in order to achieve their goals; in fact, unlike most soldiers, terrorists often deliberately target civilians as they see "terror" as a valuable tool of getting what they desire.

Terrorists can also be linked to other crimes such as piracy, drug-dealing, and slavery, which they may do to fund their cause or as a means to gain more notoriety for themselves.
