Punch Clock Villain



Punch Clock Villain is a term used to describe most henchmen and Villains by Proxy who, instead of being actually evil, are doing evil merely because it's their job. More often than not, they are shown as being regular people, who have normal social lives outside of their job, being totally sympathetic in comparison to their totally evil bosses.

The term is a obvious reference to a punch clock, a clock device used on industry to control the employees workday.
