Villains' Defeats are series of extreme events for a villain or an antagonist's loss/defeats. This can be occured in the climax or even in flashback in the fictions where they appeared. Known forms of the villains' defeats could be either:


 * Realized being outsmarted by the heroes.
 * Ultimately struck down and instantly killed by the heroes after the tense battle.
 * Weakened and on the heroes' mercy.
 * Exposed by the heroes.
