Trick him into having sex with a woman, turning him into a man and nullifying all his wild, natural powers.

Enkidu wasn't really a villain, though.

He started out as a villain. It was only the calming power of gettin' it on that made him friendly. [Smile]

How's this. Let the bad guys capture you and lock you away in a garage full of tools and welding equipment and at least on fully functional vehicle so you can build your own tank, flame thrower, and automatic weapons.

You then attack the bad guys, managing to blow up all of their vehicles, but in such a way that they all survive, but that it looks really really cool. Then you tie them up and disappear behind some cheap disguises before the army guys looking for your show up.

I'm in awe that someone actually tried to pull that. Too bad he just ended up looking like an imbecile.

Hmm.

How about having a demon write the villian's name in a notebook with the power to kill anyone whose name is written into it?

Recruiting the supervillain and putting him in charge of the small southeast asian country whose dictator you recently deposed.

Go back in time and convince Samuel Taylor Coleridge not to finish the second portion of Kubla Khan and instead include an albatross in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Easy as that.

You could poetically remind the villain how little power he has over you.

(Hint: none.)
