Let's talk about forgotten but very dangerous super villains

I guess with the Word "Super villain" we all imagine some psychotic, careless wielder of power or somebody who IS in power but has no super powers of their own.
With Thanos and Loki being prime examples of the former and Amanda Waller of the Suicide squad, Kingpin and Lex Luthor being examples of the latter.

But let's talk about the ones who could give those villains a run for their money.

Such as Teen Titans' Tara "Terra" Markov.

No not that one...

THIS one!

Tara Markov was the illegitimate daughter of a king from a fictional country called Markovia, she comes across as very young and scared of her own power. The Titans accept her a full member of their group and share all their secrets with her, with Beast Boy in Particular taking a romantic liking to her.

But all the while Terra was a spy for Deadpool...I mean Deathstroke (I always confuse the two) who had been hired by The H.I.V.E. to assassinate the Teen Titans and with Terra in their ranks came very close to actually doing so.

Raven's emphatic powers meant that she was the first to find out about Terra's true intentions but it was the big reveal after Deathstroke (or was it Deadpool?) and the H.I.V.E. captured the Titans which shocked the team.

A chain smoking Terra reveals her true colors, she's not nearly as young and certainly not as innocent as she looks. Her Monologue is very worthy of anything the Joker has ever said.
Not only that but the way she and Deathstroke behave around the other suggest they had been lovers all the while. With Terra stating after the capture of Nightwing and thus fulfilling the contract, that he can thank her later if he "has the stamina for it."

Beast Boy in particular can't fathom that the true Terra is evil because she loves being evil, she uses her powers for evil only because she can and has no explanation for why.

In the end her powers go haywire and in her final moments she actually looks happy, happy to have all the destruction she can cause, actually happy but the only one she ends up destroying is herself.

Terra: Hated because she wanted to, betrayed people who saw her as friends for a big, fat paycheck and used her powers for evil because in her mind that was just the right thing to do.
