Do they have to be actual masked, alter ego'd, comic book super heroes? If not, then my vote goes for Harry Dresden. He'd be a pretty bad ass bad guy.

Some corrupted form of Cap'n America would make a fine hero. But I'm guessing that that's already been done.

Batman is the scariest, he could probably make himself a dictator through non-violent means.

Well, they kinda all have super powers that would be useful in doing anything evil.
Dazzler, Can turn sound into light.
In the recent Age of X, Dazzler could turn her footsteps into UV light that only she could see, so she effectively could see in the dark and be completely silent. But some evil applications of the top of my head could be blasting someone with enough UV light to cover them in skin cancers as a punishment for failure and using the screams ofher victims as a weapon against heroes.

Actually, DC's Kingdom Come kinda showed what it would be like with Batman running the show, effectively by force. Basically it was Bruce being old and sitting in a cave watching banks of monitors and commanding a small army of 'Bat-Knight' robots to patrol Gotham and stop ANY crime that happens. Superman even makes a comment that Gotham looks like a Police State.

As for a hero....I'd really just say GL. Mostly because I can't help but smile every time Parallax infects Hal. They're like best friends...who hate eachother. Plus for my money Parllax still has the creepiest grin this side of Venom or Carnage.

I would probably say Reed Richards. That guy can be too smart for his own good. Has he ever wonder if he want to truly achieve peace maybe he should achieve with force?

Captain America as a villain? Oh, the shitstorm that would engulf the net.

My answer would be Iron Man. All the wealth and influence of Batman, heading a military contractor/energy company. Bruce Wayne may have to build his robot army on the down-low, using his own ingenuity. Stark could do it publicly under the guise of a military contract, then beat down the military itself with them. Heck, he could pretty much just build that army using the Iron Man suit design. We've seen his armor go self-aware before, it can be pretty brutal. Imagine an army of those, working for Stark. He could even use them as Nick Fury-style body doubles and hide out. I could see his motivation working along a similar vein to his motivations in the Civil War event; thinking that he's protecting the world from destruction by taking over, not realizing that he would be turning into the monster he was trying to stop. I could see it working pretty well.

He would rule *puts on sunglasses* with an Iron fist!

Batman. Easily. He has on one occasion beaten super man without kryptonite. He has prepared scenarios for defeating every single hero on the planet, and even for defeating teams of heroes (in case THEY turn evil but, still useful if HE turns evil). He would be Earth's yellow lantern if he accepted the power.

Also, we've seen evil batman. TWO ALTERNATE UNIVERSE LEAGUES COULD NOT STOP HIM! Ultimately, it took batman to stop evil batman (and by evil batman, I mean owl man).

Dont most superheros have a villian that is pretty much literally thier polar opposite? Superman fought plenty of other from Krypton. Green latern fights others with rings...So I dunno. I guess Proffesor X would be crazy evil because he could just kill people instant with his mind?

I'd be inclined to say the Punisher, if we're willing to count him as a superhero (and if Batman counts, then so does he).

Frankly, he's almost a villain already; most of the more heroic Marvel heroes hate his guts because of his murderous tendencies, so it probably wouldn't take much to turn them against him. Even in the MAX continuity he's presented as a profoundly messed up individual, and the only thing that prevents him from being a villain is the fact that the people he kills tend to be even more unpleasant than him.

I really liked the superman story arc "Red Son", where he landed in soviet russia and took over the world, turning it into a facist state.

I'm surprised nobody thought Professor X would make a fantastic villain. Nobody would win except for Magneto and that's if he keeps that helmet on.

Superman - because he's fucking terrifying when goes nuts or is being mind controlled.

Superman: Red Son is a great example. Not so much an outright villain but certainly not a good guy.

Hold up here a minute. The Punisher and Batman are about as similar as Ronald MacDonald and the Joker. The best description of superheroes is that of a character "of unprecedented physical prowess dedicated to acts of derring-do in the public interest". The Punnisher is just a really well armed thug who murders people, initially for revenge. He's not a superhero.

The Punisher is a vigilante, not a superhero. I suppose if you qualify Dr Manhattan as a superhero then he would be ultimate villain. He could dissolve Superman, pre-plan a fight with batman (not that he'd need to) by seeing the past/future at the same time. Then just beat down or dissolve everything else.
