Joker
Jack Napier was a relatively normal maniac thug until he fell (or was dropped, depending on the story) into a vat of nasty stuff at Axis Chemicals in Gotham City.
After that, his permanent grin and psychotic glee became his calling cards, as did death and destruction. By far the most popular of the Batman series villains, The Joker is one of the toughest mofos on the list without the benefit of superpowers.
He was a true genius with skills in a number of scientific fields. Combined with a lust for chaos, he certainly gave the Dark Knight a run for his money. The Joker (and Nicholson's performance) was so chilling, in fact, that many people would welcome his return to Gotham. Just don't admit that to Bruce Wayne... er... Batman.
INTELLIGENCE - 10: Skilled in a number of scientific fields (i.e. chemistry) and has an extremely creative mind.
POWER - 4: Physically weak; relies on his boys to do most of the tough stuff. Remember that final fight with Batman? Bad.
VILENESS - 10: Was ready to nerve gas the entire Gotham population. And don't forget what he did to his girlfriend or his right-hand man, Bob, when he didn't get his way.
SWAY - 9: Convinced all of Gotham that he was the Good Guy compared to Batman; very strong personality.
PURITY - 9: He's pretty insane ever since the dip in the chemicals pool, way past the point of no return.
PHYSICAL - 5: The grin is terrifying, but he doesn't want to scare people with his wardrobe, he wants to impress them - a slave to his own fashion.
TOTAL: 47
