How would you rank Once Upon a Time's big bads based on their formidability. As in, the hardest to defeat. The most worthy opponent. The Big Bads are the main villains of each season (or more specifically arc) including Regina (S1), Cora (S2), Tamara and Greg (S2 starting after Cora), Peter Pan (S3A), Zelena (S3B), Ingrid (S4A), Rumple, Maleficent, Cruella and Ursula (S4B/Together or separate), Emma (S5A present), Arthur (S5A past), Nimue (and somewhat Hook/S5A overall) and Hades (S5B).

For me it's
 * 1) Hades - He's the boss of half of the people mentioned above and strikes fear into the other half. He knows everything and has a way to stop it.
 * 2) Emma - I know, I know. Emma as the second biggest antagonist? What? Emma put the characters into a deeper struggle, while also managing to be like Hades in the all knowing department. They couldn't kill or fight her. Why? It's Snow and Charming's daughter, Henry's mom, Hook's love and Regina's best friend. The Savior is now the villain. She knows how the heroes think and work and knows how to stop it. She's also ruthless, proven by how she was more than willing to kill Belle and break Henry's heart to further her plans.
 * 3) Peter Pan - I didn't like Peter much but I admit he was a formidable foe. They had a lot of trouble with him. He managed to be like I mentioned above about those two: All knowing. They had a plan? He was ready to stop it.
 * 4) Cora - C'mon. It's Cora. She's heartless. Literally! Everyone feared her and had reason to, she was as ruthless as they come.

I will rank the rest soon. But for now, list yours below! :D
