Anti-villain motivations besides "tragic past"

They do bad things because they’re scared.

They’re gullible or misinformed. Example: somebody who has been told the heroes are out to hurt them.

They are desperate for interaction, validation, kindness, or attention, and the dark side gives them those things. 

They want to change their allegiance, but are pressured by people close to them to stay evil.

They have an otherwise noble goal that they will do literally anything to achieve. Example: somebody who wants to protect their child, even if it means throwing other children into danger.

She wanted nothing more than to kill this damn girl but she knew that either the boy would shoot her or she would bring the plane down with her powers. She sighed and let go of her brother’s hand, disconnecting their powers. “Today is your lucky day, girl. I won’t kill you. But should you speak to us like that again, I won’t show mercy.”

Andreas relaxed a bit, he was glad that his sister calmed down. He looked at the boy. “You heard her. Put your gun away. Aren’t we all on the same side?”

Andrea leaned to her brother. “What did we do? Why do we deserve this?” He shrugged. “Relax. Their just teens.”

Solider was reluctant to holster his weapon again. But after a moment, he nodded to the older man and put it away. He cast a glance at his sister, who was still focused on the other set of twins. Still deciding if she was done playing. He slapped her leg gently to snap her out of it. They had to work together. More over, he didn’t want to have to explain why he’d killed both of the adults to the handlers later. 

Widow frowned, but leaned against Soldier, sighing and allowing herself the moment to relax before they arrived at the mission drop point. Awkwardly, the blond boy tried to make conversation. “So... you have... done many missions? On teams? We haven’t. They... send us alone. Usually.”

I think the reason pawns can’t move backwards is because if they could, they’d kill their own kings in a heartbeat.
