original Tirek from non-FiM MLP is far worse than his modern version.. old Tirek was a CM while modern Tirek is just a generic Doomsday Monster.

Sykes from Oliver and Company was pretty dark.. there's also Frieza (if you count anime) - Super Buu varied between a CM and a Doomsday Monster.. most other DB villains were squarely Doomsday Monsters..

true CMs are quite difficult to find in cartoons, due to cartoons (in West anyway) being censored quite a bit for kids, thus CMs can't get away with the stuff they used to (original Tirek threatened to decapitate Spike, modern MLP would never allow that type of talk).

Power Puff Girls had Dick Hardley, who was pretty dark as well.
