Hmm.... Mashima for inventing all those bad guys and the trolling he occasionally does :P

But joking aside I have a hard time deciding.

Zero is certainly far up there, with his need to destroy everything just for fun. But then there's also Hades who would kill the vast majority of mankind just so he can get his personal little paradise, the Ultimate Magic World. And then there are also Kyouka and Mard who enjoy torture way too much. Lets also not forget about Erza Knightwalker who openly gloated about liking to kill.

Each of those villains is interesting and scary in their own right, but I think I'll go with Erza Knightwalker. She is a sadistic, murdering bitch, but at the same times looks and sounds exactly like Erza Scarlet. This "dark mirror" aspect makes her more interesting and disturbing for me, making me wonder if maybe Erza Scarlet might have become the same if her past had been different, among other things. And even though Knightwalker takes great pleasure in the torture and murder she commits, in the end she's still only doing her duty and following orders and is even willing to supress her dark urges out of loyality to her ruler. And she is willing, almost eager, to shoulder the blame for the actions she took. I think she is one of the most interesting and multilayered antagonists of the series.
