Becoming incompetent depends on the writer. It also depends on the audience's point of view. Some like the Team Rocket Trio or Magica De Spell were changed by new writers against the wishes of their creators. Other writers might decide to make them serious threats again. Some like Orochimaru are still powerful and dangerous but give an impression of decay due to getting overshadowed by even mightier villains. And let's not talk about Dracula or Ganondorf who are incredibly powerful and dangerous, and always put up a challenging fight, but cannot win due to being final bosses.

By contrast, "Comedic Villain", "Comic Relief Villains", "Incompetent Villains" and "Dimwits" are about villains on whom all writers agree to make them funny. Besides a villain can be comedic and a very serious threat at the same time.

Family Murder is a definite no-go, sorry.

You can of course create subcategories and categories. Just keep in mind to avoid repetition at all costs and not to make them too precise. Categories must be about defining aspects of villains. For instance, we already have "Evil Creators", so I strongly advise you to learn our already existing categories.

We have "Warlords" and I think we have "Invaders" who would do fine.
