I don't think he was ever genuinely nice when he was still a remorseless villain. By the time he became affable he wasn't a villain anymore. Just as Darth Vader didn't regain his kindness until after redemption.
Out of those The Penguin, followed by Homelander
The Penguin/Oz Cobb solos
Palpatine
High Evolutionary
Tarkin
Hela
Ultron
Thanos (2014)
Cad Bane
Killmonger
Vader
Dooku
Maul
Thrawn
Wenwu
Loki

The only major factor would be his tragedy. No matter how horrible he is, it's made clear hy the show that he's a victim of Vought, an Evil creation.
I could see him shedding his care for Ryan
Always found those videos of branding characters with "broken, pure evil or influenced" stupid. Most villains are not one or the other, it oversimplifies them
I hate lame and boring villains. Even if a villain is detestable and unlikable, I appreciate them if they offer interesting conflict with the heroes or fit with the story.

The real question is whether he's a psychopath or sociopath
Butcher is not a good man, but he's not even close to being as evil as Homelander. Not yet anyway. While I think the original comic was overall shitty, I still think it's a good idea to have Butcher as the final antagonist once Homelander is dead, and the Boys try to stop his plan of killing all the Supes.
If written well, it could work.
Gorr easily, only Ultron comes close if he has his vibranium form

Obviously fake tragic villains don't count.
Nope. Don't mean to sound like that guy, but Death is just like Building level in power scaling
I'd say yes, but he's a lot less tragic than most people think
Karli from Falcon and Winter Soldier.
Drago is underrated
He's a cool villain in a wack and lame movie
