A "Designated Villain" is an antagonist in any media where had they not been opposing the protagonist(s) they would not be considered villainous, they may even of been considered heroic. This is very common in media that has Moral Absolutist themes and can easily divide fan bases as some sympathize with the so-called "bad guy" more than the "hero" (especially in media where the "hero" is sometimes worse than the "bad guy").
