With a PE villain, they need to standout by the baseline of their works. For instance, while we can expect a murder story to have murder, if the villain in question were to be engaged in something like mass human trafficking, then that goes beyond what is normally expected out of the work.

Next, they have to be relatively heinous. This means that their actions are heinous by the standards of the story. For instance, Tales of the Crypt has only one contender because he murdered around 7 women onscreen. Because murder is very common in this show, one or two murders won't cut it. This can also extend into their resources and the tier system. If the villain was able to use their little or no resources to their limits, then they could possibly stand out. However, if another villain used their resources to make the exact same outcome, then it wouldn't stand out as particularly heinous.
