Clue #1: Villian:
Alright
Clue #2: I'm a really nasty version of someone:
The picture explains it.
Clue #3: I appeared in a video game:
Spider-Man: Maximum Carnage (or was it Seperation Anxiety?) for the Sega Genesis. He was pretty much your first "major" boss.
Clue #4: See yourself............: A
doppelgänger is the ghostly double of a living person. The word
doppelgänger is a
loanword from
German, written there (as any noun) with an initial capital letter
Doppelgänger, composed from
doppel, meaning "double", and
gänger, as "walker". In
English, the word is conventionally not capitalized, and it is also common to drop the German
diacritic umlaut on the letter "a" and write "doppelganger", although the correct spelling without umlaut would be "doppelgaenger".
The term has, in the
vernacular, come to refer to any double or
look-alike of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called
evil twin, or to
bilocation. Alternatively, the word is used to describe a phenomenon where you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye. In some traditions, seeing one's own doppelgänger is an
omen of
death. A doppelgänger seen by friends or relatives of a person may sometimes bring bad luck, or indicate an approaching illness or health problem. From wikipedia.org
