Line 2:
Raising children is one of the most daunting challenges a parent can face. You have to supply material needs like food and shelter, as well as providing a moral education by teaching through example. You can see where this would be problematic when a parent supplies the latter by breaking kneecaps or [[The End of the World as We Know It|threatening global annihilation.]]
Some parents make ends meet through frowned-upon trades like [[Hooker with a Heart of Gold|prostitution]], others turn to crime, some ''master'' crime and become [[The Don]], and there's more than a few [[Super Villain
What ends up happening is that the dad (and it's usually the dad who's the villain) hides his villainy one way or another. The easiest and hardest is to give the child up for adoption or abandon the mother. Non-deadbeats create a [[Secret Identity]] where they have a mundane, even boring job. If he doesn't bother hiding his nasty day job, he will either whitewash it to not seem villainous (replace "mob hit" with "rat infestation", for example) or say "do what daddy says, not what daddy does" without a trace of shame. If he's possessive and/or overprotective and has the means to, his children may become a [[Lonely Rich Kid]] [[Mafia Princess]] who is trapped in a [[Gilded Cage]].
