I was thinking about the new villains to come to the show when I realised something about all the other major villains of the show. It seems to me that Rumple had a had in turning them evil every single time. But to make it clear, here are my reasons:

Season 1: Season 2:
 * Regina: You might say that Regina became evil when she found out Snow was the one who told Cora about Daniel. BUT: That wasn't the real moment she began being evil. From that moment she just hated Snow. She wouldn't yet kill everyone in her way to make Snow suffer. That all started when she accepted Rumple's magic lessons.
 * Cora: Cora was already obsessed with power and status from the moment she was born.(probably XD) BUT: Rumple was the one who taught her magic and thus handed her the tools to climb up herself and give her daughter the thing she wanted for herself.
 * Hook: I know he isn't a true villain anymore. BUT: From the moment he met Rumple, and the whole The Crocodile flashbacks, Hook became obsessed with "skinning his crocodile". That was the moment, in my eyes, when he turned full villain.
 * Greg & Tamara: These two have no real history with Rumple. BUT: They were sent by Peter Pan, so scroll down for that... (I know Greg wantede to find his father again and Tamara just hated magic, but because of Peter Pan's plan, they arrived in Storybrooke)

Season 3:
 * Peter Pan: Again, Malcolm was already a coward and a fraud probably from before Rumple was even born. BUT: He only became a villain when he was in Neverland. And three quesses who gave him the idea of going there? Indeed, our own dearie, Rumple.
 * Zelena: Zelena was already envious of Regina before she met Rumple. BUT: If she had loved someone more than Rumple, and Rumple had used her to create the Curse, she wouldn't be so green in the first place XD

Season 4: Either you agree with me on this or you don't, just share your thoughts on this with me. I love to know if I was the only one who saw this. I am very much aware that there are tons of other villains on the show (Bo Peep, Blackbeard, Hans...), but I don't count them in because we don't know how they became villains. For all we know Rumple's hand might be on every single one of them. I really wonder if A&E thought of this. And yes, I'm really hoping Maleficent, Cruella & Ursula would be the next ones on this list. 
 * Ingrid: I know Ingrid got her crazy everyone-who-loves-you-will-turn-against-you-if-you-have-magic idea from Gerda who trapped her inside the urn. BUT: Who gave the Arendelle sisters the urn in the first place? Yep Rumple again.
