Can a genius be a villain? And the villain become a genius?

A genius can become a villain. This is a fairly typical case when a person who has not found recognition of his intellect begins to take revenge or simply draw attention to his person. An example in the literature can be Professor Moriarty from the series of stories about Sherlock Holmes by A. Conan Doyle or Artemis Fowle from the series of novels of the same name by J. Colfer.
A villain cannot become a genius if he was not originally born with certain inclinations. But he can be a genius in some narrow area (not intellectual). For example, it is brilliant to open locks or masterly steal (Garrett from the trilogy “The Chronicles of Siala” by A. Pekhov).
