Everyone loves a good villain, and The Villains’ Institute for Learning Evil (V.I.L.E.) is where all the famous storybook villains go to learn their wicked ways. Like any school, V.I.L.E. has its own social groups: The Monsters; the Witches; the Convicts; and the Misfits, who just don’t fit in along with the Evil Geniuses, who rule the school.
