Heh...from the Superman/Batman film thread...I liked this topic.
In anime, it's kind of a trope that the hotter the guy is, the more of a bastard he probably is. Griffin, Aizen, Nephrite, Sephiroth....why don't we see the same in comics?
But we don't have that in superhero comics..so, who are the hottest evil villains.
I'm not talking anti-heroes like Namor...I'm talking bad to the bone villains. I got two so far from that thread...
Magneto
Mr. Sinister

I remember when Of Like Minds got reposted on Scans Daily 2.0, I mentioned I couldn't tell if Savant or Dinah was prettier, and Simone replied "Yeah, part of the goal with Savant was to have a male super villain smart like Oracle, hot like Dinah". So throw in the dastardly duo!

This is a toughie.
Do movie versions of comic characters count?
On a side note, I so brought this point up in that other thread. I demand tribute!
Tribute in the form of gold! And milk!
What? I like milk.

This is harder than it should be.
Maybe Daken or Empath from Marvel.
Just a few issues ago Deadshot murdered an innocent woman.
He's a villain.

I've been saying 'okey dokey' a lot sense then. If only my coworkers knew what I was thinking about every time I said it.
And on topic: Bane maybe? Just for his body and demeanor.. but to be honest I can't think of any really evil 'Pretty Boys' in American comics.

Does that make him downright FILFY?
I must suggest the Human Torch:

Nova Flame's hotter than damned near anything in comics, kinda gives him the nod. That, and the number of ladies and gay men I've seen profess their lust for Chris Evans.

I have no idea why anyone crushes on Gambit.
Magneto had the semi-noble but a little bit crazy and super-powerful thing going on.
ETA: Isn't Thomas Eliot (Hush) currently running around with Bruce Wayne's face? Not personally turned on by that one but he certainly qualifies as hot-looking.

I think the ultimate disparity is that so many female villains a designed to be sexy, while there aren't many male villains who are designed as such, but happen to be sexy just because artists tend to draw attractive people.
Why don't the female heroes have their male versions of Catwoman and Poison Ivy? I'm not sure it would work for a character like Wonder Woman (she can have a sexy male villain, but I don't think she could really be attracted to him), but it would be a fun addition to the rogues gallery of a character like Power Girl.
Of course, many a superheroine has fallen for the charms of Dr. Doom (I'm looking at you, Storm), and getting stranded in the Savage Land with Magneto will end in sexy time (just ask Rogue), so there has been a bit of it.

Magneto + woman + island = SEX
I haven't read the issue of Uncanny X-Men that came out today yet, but considering the fact that the X-Men now live on an island, and Magneto has shown up, if he doesn't hook up with someone by the end of the issue, I will be really disappointed. (Except for the fact that I really don't want to look at a Greg Land drawn sex scene.)

Of course he's going to be another Cyclops-booster. Cyclops has, seemingly, come more in line with his way of thinking than with Xavier's. That's why I thought it looked interesting. Scott's been so certain of his course, but I'm not sure Magneto is really a guy he wants agreeing with him. Plus there's the fact that there are a lot of depowered mutants running around and Magneto got his powers back. He's also the former leader to a lot of the mutants in Utopia. No matter what he says or does, he's still going to be the snake in the Garden of Eden.
And now I've gotten way off the far more important topic of sexy super villains. This thread needs a picture of Dr. Doom sitting on his throne with a chalice. It's the epitome of super villain sexy. Also, a scan of naked Magneto. There's a lot out there. Somebody around here must have one.

Speaking of Counter-Earth, Baron Zemo looked good without a deformed face (Usually helps if your face is not deformed).
And since thinking of Zemo sparked Thunderbolts into memory, Andreas von Strucker, even with his odd fascination for his twin sister, was always drawn as a good looking guy.
