I recall a preview of an 80s/90s Burt Reynolds movie where he kills / impales someone with credit cards. Might want to look that up.

\\\"He has some of the most powerful magic in the franchise\\\" - Ultima, Giga Graviton, Megiddo Flame, Mega Flare, apparently Comet in a cutscene, and in Lightning Returns a host of conventional elemental magic.
\\\"He can use a previously unknown summon method to merge with Bahamut\\\". - Yu Yevon and Shuyin are not the same, they took control of Eidolons or brainwashed them. Caius physically transforms into Bahamut using a super secret summon method only he can do without dying.
\\\"His plan ultimately succeeds\\\" - He has Noel kill him, destroying the Heart of Chaos and killing Etro, causing time to stop and Chaos to flood Pulse. That Bhunivelze\\\'s plan would negate the benefit of Caius\\\' has no impact on Caius\\\' plan succeeding.
Redemption is not the sole aspect of a Villain Sue, it\\\'s a combination of things. To quote from that page:
\\\"It might be a consequence of Evil Is Cool, taken to the logical extreme.\\\"... \\\"It may also come about as an attempt to create a Magnificent Bastard or similar style of villain, only to go too far and become one of these.\\\"
The former especially, is Caius. The developers state he\\\'s the most powerful antagonist of the series, he has access to super-powerful magic and an iconic Summon, and he ultimately succeeds in his plan. But he\\\'s supposed to be tragic and sympathetic and is Lightning\\\'s counterpart that isn\\\'t really evil, and he gets to save Noel and Yeul and lets them be together in the end.
