To me, the ultimate villain is Erik, better known as the Phantom of the Opera, The Opera Ghost, or Angel of Music.
Erik first appeared in the 1911 Gaston Leroux novel “The Phantom of the Opera”. He has since appeared in a dozen movies and the Tony Award Winning Andew Lloyd Weber play.
Erik is the ultimate villain as he appears at first and casts himself as a representation of our dreams and achieving them. He appears to Christine Daee at 1st as the Angel of Music. He seems like he is good and manages to trick her. He gives her singing lessons. He then causes accidents to occur that cause the main soprano of the Paris Opera House to refuse to perform, thus giving Christine her chance.
After the performance, the figure known as the Angel of Music dies off to be replaced by Erik's true form, The Phantom of the Opera. He kidnaps Christine and takes her to his lair in an underground lake. He takes her out of her dressing room through a mirror and into secret passages.

He shows that his true intent is to capture Christine's heart. He almosts succeeds in enchanting her with music. (in the play it is the amazing song called “Music of the Night”) He shows his intent to marry her. It fails when Christine removes his mask and sees the monster. It is no Angel of Music, but an evil being.
After Carlotta, the main Soprano, is going to sing again, the Phantom kills the man in charge of the flys, Joseph Buquet in the middle of the show. He then proceeds to cut down the chandalier. The Phantom follows Christine and Raoul up to the roof top and is now the menacing villain.
6 months pass. The Phantom has been working on a new opera. He makes his appearance at a New Year's Ball. He appears as the Red Death. He is more menacing than before snatching the freedom and relief that Christine though she had.

She will get the main part in the opera.
She goes to a cemetary to her father's grave only to be menaced and followed by the Phantom. He almost recaptures her as he comes as the Angel of Music, the figure her father told her would guide her. Raoul stops her. The Phantom isn't through yet, he fires fire balls at them and leaves. He has a plan
At the play, the theater managers think they can capture the Phantom, but he murders Piangi and takes his place in the play and take Christine back down in the lair. The path there is a maze of booby-traps that are very fatal. In most versions this is year the Phantom gives Christine the choice of spending her days with him to save Raoul or leave and Raoul dies.
The Phantom is evil. He isn't like some stupid Batman villain. Or superhuman character. He is a man, a genius. He is a musician, composer, arcitect, mathmatician, etc. His main flaw is that he is human, he has desires. He desires Christine, but he can't have her. In this respect he is much like The Great Gatsby.
He is ruthless, menacing, and a killer. He is very determined in his goals.
