Johnwich

Johnwich is a fictional character from the animated television series *The Simpsons*, created by Matt Groening. Introduced in the 1990 episode "Homer’s Enemy," Johnwich is a recurring antagonist and a parody of the "evil genius" trope. He is a wealthy, eccentric billionaire who frequently opposes Homer Simpson’s schemes, often with absurdly elaborate and destructive methods.

Johnwich’s appearance is designed to resemble a cross between a human and a witch, with a hunched back, a long nose, and a perpetually sinister expression. His name is a portmanteau of "John" and "witch," emphasizing his supernatural and villainous nature. Despite his villainy, he occasionally displays moments of vulnerability, particularly when his schemes fail or when he is forced to interact with Homer.

The character has appeared in multiple episodes, often as a foil to Homer’s incompetence. Johnwich’s wealth and technological prowess allow him to outmaneuver Homer in various conflicts, though his plans rarely succeed due to Homer’s sheer stupidity or luck. His catchphrase, "I’m Johnwich, and I’m here to ruin your day," has become iconic among fans.

Johnwich’s design and behavior parody classic villains from literature and film, blending elements of the "mad scientist" and "dark sorcerer" archetypes. His exaggerated villainy and over-the-top schemes contribute to the show’s comedic tone, making him a memorable and recurring figure in *The Simpsons* lore. While not as prominent as other antagonists, Johnwich remains a beloved character among fans of the series.
