While not technically a villain…
The Monolith just feels so sinister whenever it’s on screen. The more inhuman something is the scarier it gets in my opinion, and this black rectangle just seems to be harbouring some very dark secrets indeed.
Honourable mention:
Not that particularly scary or evil, Luther did have one of the best taunts I’ve ever seen.
Can a vilain be the main protagonist too?
No, but he can be the main character.
:brow:
Oh I forgot of course! The Auditors of Reality from the Discworld series of books!
Griffith/Femto from Berserk
The Batman-looking guy. He sacrificed his closest friends and even emotionally scarred one of them so they can’t talk anymore. He cause someone extreme suffering and just bends people to his will to serve his needs.
Ming the merciless.
Wrong image. I think you mean this guy:
The US Government
Another one.
Dio Brando from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
He plagued 3 generations of a family. He killed someone’s dog by burning it in a furnace, stole someone’s body after killing them, and was just an asshole.
Sounds like half the people in this forum.

How unexpected from a 12 year old. /sarcasm
I’m caught between 2 almost completely unrelated ones.
Bill (Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2)
He is extremely unique, relentless, ruthless, and terrible. Yet, you never really hate the man, despite all the terrible things he has done. His relationship with the protagonist creates an odd persona in that you never come close to fully understanding him. His mysteriousness sets him apart from the often cookie cutter antagonists.
Sauron (LOTR FOTR, TTT, & ROTK)
This one is for pure badassery. His evil is unmistakable, his legacy is legendary, yet he’s an enemy who you never see in an embodied state except for a few brief minutes of an incredibly long trilogy. His eye is enough to strike fear into the hearts of millions at a glance and his armies are unstoppable while he still stands. He’d make Voldemort piss himself and Hitler cry.
Seriously, they always embarrassed me when they were on. Probably cos they failed so much and were utterly imcompetent. 
IMO Sauron is a pussy who can look a long way away and gets his ass handed to him in combat.
His limp may keep switching legs and his accent is spotty at best, but damn if Zorg isn’t the best traditional villain I’ve ever seen.
