I still think we should use the heinous standard when determining what villain counts: the baseline and the relative heinousness. For instance, with baseline, we can expect for a villain to try to kill the heroes or kill a few people, but this is what separates a normal villain from a pure evil one. Their actions need to be seen as heinous by the narrative, and their actions must be nasty by the standards of their work (relative). For instance, in DBZ where planets are destroyed on a daily basis, the villain has to be especially evil to stand out. Threatening to destroy a planet is commonplace at this point.
