Purple Man made a great case for that in Jessica Jones s1.
I think I would be very afraid of the cannibalistic Marvel Zombies. They were practically unstoppable. Mauvais is pretty horrible in that regard too but he's not as powerful as a Zombie Hulk or something like that.
Nightmare...
No love (or whatever) for Mephisto? And yeah, I would agree that Thanos should be up there on the list!

Beyonder, Dark Beast, Mr Sinister, Carnage, Dweller in the darkness, Dormammu, Chthon, Sabertooth (when he is being depicted as a sadistic serial killer) and the future nihilistic devil Hulk in the current Immortal Hulk book is also pretty scary.
Mephisto is a solid choice. Especially the Buscema version.
