The very essense of a VillainSue is a character that allows the writer to just go nuts with power, commit any level of atrocity, and try to make it look good, cool, acceptable, or admirable. Again, this is a big part of what type V is about in about half the cases. Or for that matter what the UberMensch trope is ultimately about.
