I'm not just talking cruelty in terms of their goals, but also how they went about achieving their goals

My guess is gonna be a Dr. Who or a Black Mirror villain that utilized deep psychological horror. Maybe one of the ones that made people into immortals or data-immortals with a near infinite amount of time combined with horrifying living conditions to break their victims.

Or Hades/other Greek gods and such.

The Mistress resurrected the dead all throughout earth and created paradise to turn them all into cybermen, android with a chip to prevent emotions, if that chip gets removed cybermen go into an agonizing pain due to realizing what they have become

Hades is far from being evil. He's a loyal husband and impartial/ fair when dealing with the dead. He even did a solid for Orpheus that one time and all. Too bad homie didn't follow Hades' clear instructions.

Zeus on the other hand.... Yeah...

Doctor Who (him/her)self has done so many messed up stuff in the name of his/her own moral compass.

But it was her mother who destroyed half the universe.
