Job 8: DC Villain
Darkseid
The main villain of DC's New Gods comics, and one of the overarching villains of the DC universe as a whole. Ruler of the fiery planet Apokolips, Darkseid is the god of tyranny, devoted to finding the Anti-Life Equation and using it to shape the universe in his image.
One of the few villains who could (and often does) outmatch Superman, Darkseid is armed with Omega Beams, which can follow their target to the ends of the universe and change direction unpredictably. In addition, he can use Boom Tubes to warp around the battlefield, along with summoning Parademons to deal with his foes if he chooses to not fight them directly with his absurd strength.
Jack Kirby originally intended to introduce the New Gods in Marvel after using a Ragnarok storyline to wipe out the old mythology (Thor, Hercules, and the like), and the Old Gods that preceded the New Gods were heavily implied to be Asgardians. As a result, Darkseid seems like he'd make for a good catalyst for a crossover, trying to track down and destroy the Old Gods once he finds out that they're still out there, regardless of the damage that he'd do to both universes in the process.
Job 9: Marvel Villain
Magneto
The Master of Magnetism, Magneto's been all over the morality spectrum since his introduction in the 60's. Currently, he leans more towards being an anti-hero (understandable motivations, even though he goes about them in a more violent manner than the X-Men would), but most incarnations of the character portray him as a villain at first (or at least some kind of antagonist), so I feel like he fits even if he's not completely villainous nowadays.
Magneto is a staple of Capcom's Marvel fighting games, and regularly makes appearances in Marvel's other games as well. (not counting the period where Disney and Fox had petty squabbles over rights issues) A survivor of the Holocaust, Magneto refuses to let anything of that nature happen to mutant-kind, no matter how many human lives need to be extinguished in the process.
