In works of fiction, there comes a time when the villain seizes his or her opportunity and gains power, channeling it into taking control over a nation or terrorizing the protagonist. In other words, the villain is Rising to Power. The villain takes matters into his or her own hands does something that can warp his or her mind or change him or her into a more powerful force. Sometimes he or she can win the day when he or she obtains his or her power over others. This can also lead to evil laughter or a Villainous Breakdown. Villains who usually display this are dictators, giant monsters, masterminds, master manipulators, or evil geniuses. There are many ways the villain can rise to power:
 * 1) betraying the heroe
 * 2) invading
 * 3) revealing his evil plan
 * 4) revealing his true colors
 * 5) ambushing the heroes
