    I dont think there is anyone that is more evil then the mad titan. He has done some pretty evil things in the past.

    Lobo? Evil? Darkseid, yes, I believe him to be more evil.  Thanos has toned down somewhat, and see him more than evil, he's actually complex in character.

    The question was more evil, not more feared. Evil is in someones heart and state of mind the level of how feared someone is seperate from how evil someone is.

    Considering Thanos has given the Gardener a sweet talking and was reluctant to kill him, has felt guilty over his actions in Marvel: The End, has helped the heroes from people more evil than he is like the magus, I'd say there are plenty. Off the top there are: 

    Darkseid 
    Joker 
    Red Skull

    Mephisto 
    Lex Luthor (if you count what he did to his sister) 
    Anti-monitor 
    Dr. Destiny 
    Purple Man 
    Shuma Gorath

    Actually, he's not.  That's why he's called Mephisto and not Satan/Lucifer ;-)  He's A devil, not THE devil.

    Thanos is to complex a character to lump him in with some of the above "evil" characters. At first yes he was one of the most evil characters there could be, wanting to kill half the universal population just to earn Death's favor is pretty evil. But since those days he's turned into quite the multidimensional character. He's still "evil" if you want to label him as such, but he also has done plenty to save the galaxy since his Infinity Gauntlet days. For example even though he wiped out all existence in Marvel's The End, he did it because the universe was out of sync, that and the heroes angered him. He even has the inner monologue that explains he doesn't know where the rage is coming from because of the defiant heroes and in the end he sacrifices himself to right what he did and fix the cosmic flow.

    I love Thanos, but as evil as he is there is more complexity to it. I would say a lot of Batman villains are more evil than Thanos: The Joker, he is insane and does evil things for no reason (The Dark Knight), Black Mask, he is just so dark and an extreme sociopath, and not to mention he made Selina Kyle's sister eat her husband...that's pretty evil.

    But other villains would be

    -Darkseid

    -Mephisto/Trigon

    -Kingpin from the new Daredevil show XD

    He’s become more of a super complex universal constant then just evil, don’t get me wrong, he’s evil, just in the same way galactus is, but not the way joker is.

    Thanos can be the hero, villain, and neutral character in the same story...
