See my posts earlier in the discussion about King Midas in the Once Upon a Time universe. #84 and #88. He is more than what he appears and puts the rest of these villains to shame. He's a menace to every kingdom in the Enchanted Forest as well as a petty, scheming, loathesome wretch of a man who probably lives to torture his daughter. Post #88 explains how he must have cursed Frederick on purpose, and probably even arranged the attack himself.

There's clear difference in someone like Regina who is always conflicted (and always pushed by Fate right back onto the evil path), someone like Jafar who clearly chose evil, and that last group of people who don't seem to know right from wrong to begin with. They're like, "Well why not?" because why not never occurs to them.
