That's because Torquemada, the human, was the villain.
The stories were always written in such away that the reader identified with the aliens/robots/genetically modified soldiers/mutants rather than the humans, because they were the characters who displayed real humanity.

There's a fantastic Torquemada monologue during which he declares "You're all white men now".
On the surface a rather throwaway remark but when you consider it in depth the ramifications are colossal.
Sadly, Pat Mills hasn't written anything that comes close to his eighties peak in recent years.
