1. Teen Titans
2. Villains of DC
3. Among the xmen
4. Among Avengers

6. Among heroes of Valiant Comics
Teen Titans:
A Robin
An Aqualad
A Kid Flash
Villains:
Darkseid
Luthor
Joker
Teen Titans: Different for each generation of the team.
Villains: Joker, Lex Luthor, Darkseid.
None of those categories really have a set in stone "Big 3" except for Villains of DC which are as mentioned in the two posts above me. A pity that Darkseid isn't a Wonder Woman villain, otherwise the symmetry would have been perfect.
1. Teen Titans
Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Cyborg
2. Villains of DC
Lex Luthor, Joker, Darkseid
3. Among the xmen
Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops
4. Among Avengers
Captain America, Iron Man, Thor
5. Among villains of Marvel Comics
Dr. Doom, Magneto, Thanos

I don't think Darkseid is well known enough to be top 3, if you don't read comics you may well have not heard of him.
Because of that, I'd say the Penguin is one of the big 3... Exposure through tv and films have made him recognisable throughout the world just as Iron man is now, he wouldn't be top 3 in the Avengers without MCU as nobody outside comics knew him previously.
For villians its lex, joker and cheetah.
TT robin, aqualad, kid flash.
My personal big 3s:
VILLAINS: Luthor, Joker, Cheetah.

2000s JSA: Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Power Girl

How can there be a "big 3" among X-Men and among Avengers since those teams keep changing out members and constantly have members flip from the Avengers to the X-Men then back to the Avengers . . .
And by "Big Three", are we going by the importance of them to the team or by how much $'s / attention their presence brings to the book?
I go by iconic nature and in-universe status. I'm a big Wondy fan but If you went purely by popularity then she probably wouldn't be in the Trinity because Flash and Green Lantern have become increased popularity over the decades. I suppose the one ting she has going for her is that the Flash and GL fanbases are fractured over many different 'lead' characters.
Flash trinity: Barry, Jay, Wally
Classic Looney Tunes trinity: Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig
Tiny Toons Trinity: Babs, Buster, Plucky
Varies, but in the classic Titans, the closest thing would maybe be Nightwing, Starfire, and, I don't know, Wonder Girl or Cyborg? That team was more like a family, so its really hard to pick out three who seemed to stand above the rest. In Johns's Titans run, it was definitely Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy, though, acting as senior members of the team.
You could also say its Raven, Cyborg, and Starfire, as they were the three characters originally created for the Titans.
Most people would probably say Joker, Luthor, and Darkseid. I think however that there is a good case for Joker, Luthor, and Sinestro or Ra's al Ghul, Luthor, Darkseid or Joker, Luthor, Ra's.2. Villains of DC
Wolverine, Cyclops, and either Storm or Jean Grey.3. Among the xmen
Cap, Iron Man, Thor4. Among Avengers
Dr. Doom, Magneto, and Loki. Maybe Red Skull could replace one of them? Yeah, I'd say that Skull has resurged recently in relevance.5. Among villains of Marvel Comics
Thanos doesn't really strike me as a viable third. Not yet.
