1. Joker
2. Lex Luthor
3. Sinestro
4. Darkseid
5. Brainiac
6. The Rogues(I'll group the Flash bad guys here)
7. Maxwell Lord(just think he's getter known than Cheetah, at least until WW84 comes out)
8. Mr. Mxyzsptlk/Bat-Mite(both serve similar functions)
9. Black Adam
10. Any second tier Batman villain(Penguin, Riddler, Ra's Al Ghul, Talia, etc)

As I write these I realize there really isn't a female villain who has stayed that way and remained a big presence(I would consider Catwoman and Harley Quinn bigger than many names on my list but not true villains).

I also consider Deathstroke not really a villain anymore(otherwise he would also be on my list).
