But this is Once, and they can twist as the see fit. Peter Pan as a Villian, the (Formerlly) Evil Queen and Captain Hook as Heros, Maleficent as at least an Anti-Hero. Ursula as a reformed villain. The Miller's daughter (the protagonist of the Rumplestiltskin fairy tale) is a villain. Once is not bound to follow any conventions other than what they choose. Sam may be playing Hyde how he chooses, but that is still going to be within certain boundries estableshed by the writers regarding the direction Hyde will be taking (Hero, Anti-hero, villain, victim, etc). I would watch and see what the writers do with both Jekyll and Hyde, it may not turn out like anyone expects. The Millers Daughter is the Queen of Hearts as well (a villain from Alice in Wonderland). And they kind of made Cinderella like the Miller's daughter (where Rumple's Price is her baby).

Some Villains from the books stay evil, like Cruella, the Blind Witch, Black Beard, Hades and Jafar. Pan is really Malcom (an original character) and I wouldn't consider him as Peter Pan cause it is a false identity to me.

And still sometimes villains will sometimes go back to being evil again. Sometimes one way or the other. And you wonder why they had the Evil Queen return as a villain in someway. Probably because she and the other villains who seem to be redeemed for now, or turned into Anti Heroes for now are more interesting as Villains. For Regina's evil double, there doesn't seem to be any redemption for her.

Yes it might be possible that Hyde is not what he seems, but so far what makes him a villain is that he was very ruthless, almost killed Jeckyll and the Heroes. He was also threatening when he now has claim to storybrooke or how he warned Regina that evil cannot be disposed of easily as we saw what he meant when the Evil Queen returned alive. He just said the word evil, which right now seems to make him one. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
