Huh. From my experience, most antagonists aren't given much rhyme or reason for being the way they are, but the ones that do have the excuse to be evil because they got butthurt by something in the past. XD; I guess it's not too bad, if it's written up properly, but that's rarely the case.
I don't know --I generally don't read fictions with shippings like that, except that I'm going through an e-zine of original slash fiction right now and it's come up a few times. I'd like to clarify that I care neither for the "nobody" nor the "awesomeness," so at least the two stereotypes deserve each other in a sense (which is the way I feel about Tidus and Yuna in Final Fantasy X, but that's another story...)
Still, I guess people like the idea of how opposites attract --heck, I like it myself, but not so much if that's, like, the whole make of the character. Also, I have a sort of dislike for the "pity me" people --I don't understand how a well-rounded guy could ever like someone who's scarcely capable of standing on their own two feet... --No... no, I take it back. I do have some OCs who don't mind the pathetic types, but I guess you could say they have a sort of hero complex. XD; Plus there's gotta be more to the other party than being a loser. No one likes someone who's just a total downer; it's too depressing. And irksome. <--gets annoyed when people complain too much about silly things.

...I hate it when my signature looks wider than my posts...
...so I'm making these posting formats to compensate the size...
...yeah...
...I do...
.. . I don't know any villians in real life who have become such because thay had been hurt in the past. But I know villians who have become such because they had been brought up complete egoists sure that the world was created for them and only for them and they have the right to decide who has to suffer who has to die and any living creature should be for their delight only. And also villians who are sure that they are the chosen ones and they are so completely different from other people that they bear some unique knowledge of the true idea of life an that's why (see the first type) they have the right to decide who has to suffer and who has to die. Just labeling it a bit but I guess my idea is clear. XD
.. . as for the shipping you're talking about I find annoying when "the hero" falls in love with "the loser" because... It's always supposed that she/he is a loser because she/he is poor/weak/has difficult situation in the family/misundrstood and so forth but she/he has a beautiful soul! I have nothing against losers with beautiful souls - such people exist. But it often happens that the charscter has no soul beauty. Like the author wrote about how poor the thing is but has forgotten to mention it's kindness/virtue and all that jazz. And o this love of the "hero" gets no reason. While life experience has provenme that lavo never happens for no reason - we choose our partners according to something. Even if we don't define it, we can always say "she is so close to me..." or "when I'm with him I feel like I belong", so people are a couple. If it's a real couple. And in the cases I've mentioned we are just cheated: here is the "nobody" where is the soul?

Uh, I know there was one in the last Star Trek movie... Starwars too, come to think about it (the whole Darth Vader business), which is funny, because I don't even like the space genre, generally. And the bear in Toy Story 3... and there are probably many others, but I'm too sleepy to think of them.
I found another nobody and somebody fic again. Man, it makes me want to drop this zine like a rock, but then I recall the fics I actually like from it (aha, "Curse of Venus" was very amusing), and I have to be understanding and remember that all sorts of writers are in this.
