I'll also pick the Red Skull. He's the perfect villain for Captain America in that he has absolutely no redeeming qualities. Of all Marvel's villains, he is the most thoroughly evil.
I particularly like the way J.M. DeMatteis wrote him in the mid-80s. He emphasized the Red Skull's Nazi past and portrayed him an overt racist and anti-Semite. To me, the Skull is much more frightening when he's rooted in real-world horrors, rather than portrayed as just another would-be world-beater.
