To me a good villain is a complex character with understandable motives. To me best villains is also Killmonger. I also like Vulture, but I also think good antagonists are Helmut Zemo, Kaecilius and Loki.

Zemo wanted vengeance on Avengers for losing his family, so he used a very clever manipulations to turn them against each other. He actually succeeded and he needed only to be smart enough, he didn't need superpowers. That's an achievement.

Kaecilius was a well-intentioned extremist, who believed that summoning Dormamu will make everyone immortal, because the Ancient One used Dormamu to keep herself immortal and it wasn't fair to keep it only for herself and forbiding everyone else. I like Kaeclilus, because he had valid points for a villain.

Loki is an interesting example, because he's conflicted. He isn't sure, what he's after, so he seeks purpose of his life. He wants to be respected, he wants revenge on his family and yet he wants to save them. His backstory is tragic, because he was lied whole life and felt unfavorite, because his adoptive father respected Thor more. He's a clever manipulator, he was hard to predict. That's why he was enjoyable.

Who do you think is the worse villain? I think it's Malekith, because he's incredibly shallow and generic destroyer of worlds. I also strongly dislike the fake Mandarin, he's a disgrace for villains. I consider Wolfgang von Strucker a wasted potential.
