 ‘Big Bad’ is Buffyspeak for a villain who is tough to beat (though not unbeatable). The Big Bads on the show were usually the main villains of each season (The Master, Spike and Angelus, The Mayor, Adam, Glory, Evil Willow and The First) but the phrase was also used for other non-standard villains, such as Caleb. The phrase was first used by Spike in Wild at Heart when he said, “‘Cause the big bad is back”. |
