I don't really think Carol has a specific arch enemy. Yon-Rogg is as good a choice as any - as would Mystique (I don't think I'd pick Min-Erva, but I'd love her to get a bigger role). But she's definitely a Marvel character who has always benefited from being in a shared universe and fought the variety that that universe has to offer.

And it seems to change with each creative team. Under Claremont, it was Mystique (who was effectively the final boss if she was in a video game, considering Carol actually lost to her), and under Reed, it was Moonstone (who even impersonated her). Under Thompson, maybe Star?

On the topic of looking for directors for CAPTAIN MARVEL sequels...
The more I'm reading about the most recent CHARLIES ANGELS reboot movie (a better than you would think movie that never got its due) , I'd move Elizabeth Banks up on the list. Sounds like Banks has the combination of feminism/girl power and action movie down. That dynamic is a requirement for Carol Danvers flicks.
And Elizabeth Banks would make a damn good Karla Sofen. Or Grace Valentine. Being a director and antagonist on that Moonstone as evil psychiatrist level might be too much of a double booking to pull off. Further, you could use Moonstone as the character device to level down Carols powerhouse status instead of Rogue...but that's a different post...

Yet the one antagonist that's been most recurrent has been Rogue. Carol's books have suffered from multiple overwhelming crossover events that have bogged down any attempt at long term storytelling that could feature a cillian enough to be an arch nemesis. Not to mention the constant stops and starts in series and directions.
I would love for them to bring in Moonstone as a recording character/ villain. Another I think would work well would be the Black Swan. Regardless of who it is, she needs some kind of recurring villain, if only Marvel would understand that.
As her big rivals, I liked Moonstone (empowered with both stones) as her main nemesis (her Lex Luther so to speak), Dr Minerva as her "Brainiac", Mahkizmo the Nuclear Man, as the joke villain that's a serious threat, and maybe the Kree leadership after Empyre is all settled. I doubt Hulkling will continue to be the ruler of the Kree and Skrull empires after that story-line.

Head Case. Head Case is her braniac if by braniac you mean smart person. Alternatively she also has the brood queen in terms of assimilation.
Also, star is apparantly closer to her lex luthor, since she has the motivation of "You super people make humanity too weak"
I don't like these comparisons anyway.
