Well Shears Id cut he just engages in basic manipulation and kidnapping. The candidate I am talking about is Andross the big bad of the series. He has blatantly disregarded General Peppers orders and caused (likely intentionally) a massive explosion that devastated corneria city (as well as transforming most of the Lylat System into a crapsack world of near extinction). As a result Pepper banished him to the remote planet of Venom thinking that he would not survive. However Pepper was wrong Andross built an empire of mind controlled mechanized and bio engineered robots built for only one purpose to serve the empire. This army and these robots annihilated everything in their path except for Fox's home planet of Corneria. When the original Star Fox team was betrayed by Pigma Dengar, Andross took advantage of the situation and killed James McCloud (Foxes Father) in the process. After being defeated by Fox he attempted to drag his foe down with him by unleashing a giant self destruction in his base. Fox was luckily guided by his fathers ghost to safety and thus narrowly avoided death.

In Star Fox Adventures he does something similar to what Ganon does to Zant in Twilight Princess. He gives the invading General Scales power (even though Scales was totally unaware of Andross unlike Zant), and in a way has influence on all of Scales atrocities throughout the game. When a young Vixen named Krystal unleashed the first Krazoa spirit needed for Andross revival, he capture her and traps her in a crystal which drains the life out of her to an almost fatal extant before Fox releases the rest of the spirits and saves her but not before Andross tries to drop her to her death, after collecting all the spirits and restoring his body. After revealing his true identity in outer space, he states instead of conquering the Lylat System he wants to "destroy" it, and nearly kills fox by eating him before Falco shoots a smart bomb into his mouth allowing Fox and Falco to defeat the ape.

Nintendo's big bad characters rarely qualify as CM's if they do it is just one off occurrences (Ganon in Ocarina of Time, King Boo in Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon). But this guy could possibly qualify, yeah he sometimes acted humorous, but his crimes were certainly not played for laughs. In the end the whole good cast of Starfox united to stop this bastard. I do not see any redeeming qualities or factors either. Anyone else have an opinion on Andross please leave your comments/votes here.
