I give you Michael Sutton for the Incredible Hulk series.

Who is He?
Michael Sutton is a rich game hunter who owns his own island where he has animals imported so he can hunt them. Eventually he grows bored with hunting animals so he decides to hunt men instead-inviting men over whom he finds cunning to his island only to drug them and put them through deadly obstacles to test their wit. He attempts to do the same to the protagonist, David Banner. What makes him even more depraved is he doesn't play fair. He uses a decoy trap to make David unprepared for a real trap, and even at one point when Davis uses a key to get out of a trap, Sutton still had an extra one for him despite David finding the key as requested by the "game". When Sutton discovers the Hulk, he whips David to make it come out so he can kill it. However, David yanks on the whip as he falls and Sutton falls over, injecting himself in the leg with one of his poisonous arrows, and dies. Even then, it's revealed Sutton booby trapped David's escape boat in preparation for his victory-showing just how much he can't stand losing if he's lost fair and square.

Moral Agency
Sutton is completely aware that what he does is wrong. He lies to his victims in order to get them to trust him so he can bring them over to the island and kill them.

Heinous Standard
None of the other villains come close to matching his heinous standard. The majority of the villains of the show are either kidnappers, greedy criminals, murderers, attempted murderers, or tragic in some way. None of them come close to being a serial killer. The only other villain to be the serial killer on the show was Frank Rhodes of the episode "Death Mask" but this was after Sutton's episode so he set the heinous standard. Plus, Rhodes suffered form Dissociative Identity Disorder and had no control of his actions, and actively showing remorse fro what he had done-thus damaging his moral agency and making him sympathetic-in contrast with Sutton who has complete control of his actions and takes pleasure in them.

Screen time
There are five pictures of other victims before David hanging up and we see blood on the wall. So this is enough to signify a pattern.

Conclusion
He counts.
