The Best DreamWorks Animated Movie Villains Ranked

A resident of Metro City, Hal Stewart (Jonah Hill) is the hapless cameraman partnered with Roxanne Ritchi, a colleague for whom he has unreciprocated feelings. After the superhero Metro Man abruptly vanishes, his nemesis Megamind seeks to create a new adversary to spend his time fighting. Using Metro Man's DNA, Megamind accidentally channels superhuman abilities to Hal. Masquerading as a mysterious "Space Dad," Megamind trains Hal into becoming Metro City's protector, fulfilling the mantle left behind by Metro Man.

Donning the moniker of Titan, Hal's superhero career almost immediately fails when he realizes Roxanne doesn't share his romantic feelings, prompting him to go on a crime spree instead. Furious over being snubbed by Roxanne, Titan embraces the darker aspects of his personality, rampaging through the city with little remorse.

In many ways, Hal isn't exactly a bad person — he's just a man who, by all rights, shouldn't have inherited the powers and responsibilities that come with being a superhero. With his newfound abilities inflating his ego, he sees being Titan as a chance to finally accomplish something with his life, as well as a way to finally impress Roxanne. When neither of those things pan out, he resorts to using his powers for selfish gain, rather than actually using them to do good in the world or combat evil. In essence, he's like a family-friendly version of Homelander from "The Boys": an egomaniacal, self-interested "hero" who cares little for the greater good of Metro City.
