General standard...no, each movie has their own heinous standard. If you mean like generic bad guy doing generic bad guy things like Peg Leg Pete, I'd be more lenient to say there's a general standard there. After all, in the setting, you can expect the villain to kill, steal, or try to take over the world. Ursula, Jafar (not the live action remake one), or Hades would fit under there.

Then you have villains like Frollo who try to commit genocide against a race of people; lusts after a woman of said race (in the most G-rated form of rape I've ever seen); tries to burn families alive in their homes, etc. Scar was an interesting case because he was initially seen as insufficiently heinous...at least until you add in the fact that he was willing to allow the entire pride to starve to death when the Pride Lands became barren. As was Facilier where he may have seen generic with his plan on taking over New Orleans...until he offered up the souls of the entire city to his Friends on the Other Side to pay off his debts.

McLeach as you've said is a lesser villain without that many resources. But it's also the fact that he is aware that the animals he hunts are sapient, but delights in "ripping off their hides," and his torture of a young boy by locking him in a cage; throwing knives at him; psychologically abusing him; and then trying to feed him to crocodiles.
