Someone has to be born with a spark of wrongness in them. Be genetically predisposed to what you call snapping. Gives us a lack of empathy, which sounds bad, but definately helps keep us from seeing aspects of ourselves in our victims. Hard to kill someone you identify with.
Then, someone has to have a shitty upbringing that changes a person's worldview from normal, whatever that is, to one where violence and selfishness is completely justified, no matter what the effects are for anyone else.
Now, maybe someone was born genetically bad but got raised in a nurturing, loving family and became able to control it and adapt to being a functional member of society (although the urges never go away, not completely). Or maybe someone had the bad childhood and lived in times of constant war, but when it came down to it, they were just kind-hearted down to their fucking soul and there was no way to beat it out of them. Either way, you don't get a supervillain out of it. Gotta have both.

If you're already got that Bad Seed gene in your blood, just having a little something good isn't really going to cut it, when it comes to making the decision to ignore your instincts. Don't tell anybody, but me, I've got a real sweet-tooth, from time to time. But I've never said to myself, "Wow, this blueberry pie is the best I've ever had... maybe war isn't the answer!"

[Giggles.] 'Cause I like pie, too. And I feel like baking.
