Control Freaks are people who qualify with having significant control on everyone or minimum one person. They are usually recognized by their continued belief that others should do what they say and that they know best, even if they do not. They can be abusers and/or leaders, although not all of them are arrogant and oppressive.

Control Freaks are not always fully villainous, but rather misguided or merely unlikable. However, most of them are antagonistic due to the very nature of being a Control Freak; villains such as these will often go to great lengths to assert their power and authority over others. It is also common for them to be arrogant, insecure, deluded or perhaps even mentally challenged.
