I think the best way to introduce a villain is to make your readers think he/she's just a typical character in the story, and then by the end of the book, you can reveal the character as it's evil self. Sound good?

Yes, that does sound good.
But that is a completely different approach to how I did it.

Chapter 7
Peter, inside his half space ship, was pulled up into the Mother Ship. He watched as the hatch beneath him closed, stopping all hope of escape. The beam then slowly lowered him onto the floor. Peter looked around him in amazement as the half space ship he was in began to vanish right before his eyes. And then, as quickly as it had begun, it was gone.
Peter heard a noise coming from above him. He looked up, and saw five holes in the ceiling 200 feet above, forming a circle. Suddenly, five things came falling down from the holes! They were humanoid in shape, but they were covered in metal armor, which made them look very robotic. They all hit the ground at the same time, with a very loud bang! In the middle of the holes in the ceiling, a circular platform dropped to the ground. There was a young man standing on it. He had a black cloak with a hood on him. He smiled at Peter.
“Hello,” he said.
Peter looked at him, puzzled.
“Who are you?” Peter demanded.
“I’m Zaracothco,” he replied.
----------------------------------------------------------
That';s how I did it.

Sounds pretty good like that. If I was doing it, I would've made them seem like a good guy, and have them switch 3/4 of the way through or something similar, but that sounds really good as is.

Thank you.

Hm... introduce them as a major threat through having them throw a knife into one of the charries' back or something.

By the way, what do you think of that part of my story?

Doesn't have to KILL the character, just injure them.

if there is no killing in the story he might as well write kids' books.

make him the main character who everyone loves and make him slowly become evil
that... is the best way to bring in a villain, because they're not just a face when you do that, everyone understands who they are, who they were, and who they could be.

Have the villain alone somewhere before his first appearance, thinking about what he's about to do and his motives. This way it gives him depth, maybe shows he isn't truly evil, just someone who has goals which unfortunately involve hurting others. This also works after the first appearance, but could be a good introduction to him.
