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).

Its messed up that their really aren't any good female villaiins that are actually villains.
I will go with name recognition of villains or the brand they belong to
1) Joker - Batman
2) Lex Luthor - Superman
3) Darkseid - Justice League
4) Deathstroke - Teen Titans
5) Sinestro - Green Lantern
6) Cheetah - Wonder Woman
7) Reverse Flash - Flash
8) Black Adam - Shazam
9) Black Manta - Aquaman
10) Amanda Waller - Suicide Squad
Most of Wonder Woman's rogues gallery is comprised of women, so she should really be helping with the issue of not having much variety in scary, badass ladies.
But that would require DC to care about Wonder Woman's mythos beyond making Zeus her daddy or pairing her up with Batman or Superman, and we can't have that.
