Supervillain

Towa created the Supervillain form to address the limitations of Villainous Mode. While her earlier dark enhancement provided a solid power boost and reliable mind control, it lacked the raw destructive output needed to challenge the increasingly powerful Time Patrollers defending history. Supervillain represents a fundamental redesign that trades the target's life energy for a much deeper well of combat power.

The visual transformation reflects this more extreme approach. Where Villainous Mode bathed users in dark purple tones, Supervillain strips them of their natural coloration entirely, replacing it with an eerie white-and-blue pallor. The glowing hot pink eyes and Time Breaker forehead symbol serve as unmistakable markers of Towa's advanced dark magic at work. The black and white aura that surrounds transformed fighters further distinguishes them from their Villainous Mode counterparts.

Ten named characters have been depicted in the Supervillain state within Xenoverse 2: Broly, Cell at Full Power, Golden Frieza, Janemba and his Future counterpart, Kid Buu, Metal Cooler, Mira, Omega Shenron, and Yamcha. Each is presented as a distinct playable variant with the Supervillain suffix appended to their name.

The life force cost is a meaningful narrative detail. For naturally short-lived or mortal beings, Supervillain carries genuine risk. However, for entities like Mira (a Demonic Android with indefinite lifespan) or individuals under other forms of supernatural preservation, the cost is largely academic. This design choice allows Towa to deploy the enhancement selectively based on which subjects can afford the trade-off.

Supervillain effectively replaced Villainous Mode as the primary antagonist enhancement in Xenoverse 2's storyline. During the game's various saga chapters, Towa applies the form to key villains at pivotal moments to create threats that exceed what history's original conflicts produced. The player's Time Patroller must contend with fighters who are already among the strongest in the Dragon Ball universe, now elevated even further by dark magic.

Golden Frieza in the Supervillain state represents one of the form's most dramatic applications. Frieza, already vastly powerful in his Golden transformation, gains an additional layer of enhancement that makes him a serious threat even to experienced Time Patrollers. Metal Cooler, Broly, and Kid Buu all receive similar treatment, creating Expert Mission encounters that require coordinated team efforts to overcome.

Yamcha's inclusion as a Supervillain user stands out as a deliberate narrative twist. As the only heroic character to achieve the Second Stage of the transformation, his corruption plays against his usual role as one of the weaker Z Fighters. In a humorous touch added through DLC, Yamcha refers to his Supervillain state as "Super Earthling," believing it to be the human equivalent of Super Saiyan and imagining that it will make Krillin jealous.

While Supervillain largely replaced Villainous Mode in Xenoverse 2, the earlier form was not entirely retired. Frieza and Cell's Villainous Mode variants from the original Xenoverse occasionally appear as enemies in certain Expert Missions, though they are not playable. This overlap suggests that Towa continues to employ multiple tiers of dark enhancement depending on the situation and the expendability of her targets.
