Still, as he tells us, his motivations mean he&#8217;s more than just your average villain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe thing about Vandal Savage as a villain,\u201d proposes Crump, &#8220;is he\u2019s a bit different from other villains who want something. They usually want a nuclear weapon or a lot of money, but Vandal, in my opinion, sometimes just wants to teach humanity a lesson. If he sees a great challenge, he\u2019ll just be up for it. If nothing happens for a time, he\u2019ll just kick back for 30 years, chill out and not do anything.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While his primary aim in <em><strong>Arrow<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>The Flash<\/strong><\/em> appeared to be terrorising the duo of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, this time his goals are far more grandiose.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"> \u201cHis thing, of course, is world domination. That\u2019s just the way it goes when you have all the time in the world, I guess. He\u2019s real. He\u2019s not laughing, \u2019I want a lot of money, I want all the weapons in the world,\u2019 even though that\u2019s what he ends up getting. On the way there, he\u2019s really looking for a challenge. He wants to teach humanity, he want to put things in perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8220;This might be a little controversial, but he\u2019s inspiring as well. I was looking at the news, and see him as a modern politician sometimes. He really thinks he\u2019s doing all the things right for the people, and of course he\u2019s not. But then suddenly all of these people are coming towards him, and he doesn\u2019t understand it at all. That\u2019s how I view him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong><em>Legends Of Tomorrow<\/em> will air from Sky1 in the UK from 3 March 2016.
