Has The Rhino ever done anything that wasn't just dumb?

Any silver and golden age bad guy who wants to blow up the world but can't fly in space and has no ship. So how will that work out for you if you are dead to?
Any bad guy that wants to kill everyone on the planet. Get really boring after some time with no one else around. You might want to think twice about that.
Wouldn't any of Kangs plans to conquer the past kick his future upside down? I get he's from Next Door Future, but isn't he eliminating our home grown Kang from ever being?
Also, anybody whose game plan is Let Dormmamu or Nightmare Into Our Plane To Run Amok. Very short sighted.
At least in some cases, those villains were very clearly insane . . . or they were all right with dying themselves if they got to take everyone else in existence down with them. Then again, one doesn't necessarily preclude the other.
If I recall right, Kang just hits up the late 20th/early 21st century because he's bored as s*** with how peaceful and idyllic things are in his era, relatively speaking. The risk of nonexistence is probably just part of the challenge for him.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Has Trapster had enough wins to justify him becoming a supervillain in the first place? What does pasting Spidey arms to another guy actually accomplish? Does he have an actual reason why he is trying to defeat Mr. Fanastic? What are Trapster's goals? If its just to become rich, why wouldn't he try to patent his glue rather then become a supervillain? Trapster does not work as a character, because his motives make no sense.
This could work for any number of villains.
Look at Shocker. Invents these great gloves that cause things to vibrate and fall apart. Would have been great to sell to the military. I mean he did want to be rich after all. he could have made millions. what does he do? Puts on a bad costume and goes and tries to rob a bank. I mean if he just grabbed what he could carry thats what a few thousand? I mean creating the gloves cost more then that.
And all of these villains who want to be rich yet they spend hundreds of thousands of bucks on a super advanced hideout with death rays and all that crap. here is an idea stupid. Take some of your anti grav flying car money and invest in a 401k or some shit!.
I get the ones who just want to prove how smart they are. Like Wizard who in his first appearance wanted to prove he is better then The Human Torch and then in The Fantastic Four issues better then Reed. Or Green Goblin who wanted to be king of the underworld. Thats an ego thing.
But these guys who invent amazing high tech weapons just to rob a bank and get rich. Dumb as Hell. And a little boring after a time.

In their defense, most banks in small states/towns don't usually carry that much actual cash on hand. Legally, they're only required to keep about 3% of their total local checking accounts as cash reserves. Obviously, that amount varies depending on the financial calendar. For example, on paydays banks would usually keep more cash on hand, partly as a result of increased direct deposits from their accountholders' employers and such.
So even if you go to a major national bank in a small town, don't be surprised if the total amount of liquid cash it has is only in the tens of thousands of dollars. No, I don't expect every Marvel villain to be aware of banking practices -- and that goes double for most writers -- but any bad guy headed to the Dakotas to do a bank heist would need to hit several banks to really make it worthwhile. My hunch is by the time their spree progressed to the 3rd bank, Monica Rambeau, who can travel around the world 7 times in 1 second, or someone with teleportation abilities, like Mjolnir-wielding Thor, would show up to ruin their day.
