Like take The Reapers from Mass Effect for example. Would they pose a credible threat to either DC’s or Marvel’s cosmic material?

Colossus or Cyborg?

Fairly certain that someone like Dr Fate would immediately draw the attention of Judy and die.
Twin Peaks is a setting where you need someone strong enough to not get instantly obliterated by the Lodge, but isn't so strong that something like Judy takes notice of them.

Reapers were pretty boring and one-dimensional, it's basically a force of nature/plot device.
Jordan Adams
Ridley. Manga Ridley especially, but Ridley nonetheless. You have a giant space dragon who leads a group of space pirates going around plundering planets and getting into all sorts of terrible schemes. He's ruthless and charismatic, scarily intelligent and yet exceptionally physically strong and durable, he'll taunt people about eating their parents, he comes back so many times he might as well be a comic book villain, he'd be a great antagonist for some cosmic teams. Can you imagine him and the Space Pirates facing off against the Lanterns? Guardians? Nova Corps? Can you imagine the kinds of team-ups he'd be capable of?
Daniel Ross
The Reapers could be interesting Green Lantern villains if you crank their indoctrination to 11
Tyler Wood
Ridley is perfect for a comic adaptation. The guy is just the right amount of evil mixed with silliness and dark humour as to work.

The Mule from Foundation
Extremely high tier telepath that can instantly brainwash anyone permanently at massive range. And if he has his tool, it can make people straight up die or alter feelings on a planetary scale. Also its impossible to get the drop on him cause he has a detection aura around him that picks up on every and each intent of everyone.
Just like in Foundation and Empire, he'd work up from a single planet and creep over time.
His type of telepathy is particularly nasty because it doesnt work on thought level, it works on feelings. His brainwashing makes you undyingly loyal to him, because it injects an immense amount of loyalty, it doesnt actually change you in any other way. He can snap a brain by filling it with dread or force anyone to comply by removing their determination to fight back
If you want to confront him you cant just not think about it, he'll notice your negative intent even if you arent actively thinking about anything related.
Parker Green
50 Blessings would make a pretty cool villain organization, you'd have to change the reason why they exist, but getting random people to go on killing sprees is certainly villain behaviour.
Cooper Anderson
>His type of telepathy is particularly nasty because it doesnt work on thought level, it works on feelings. His brainwashing makes you undyingly loyal to him, because it injects an immense amount of loyalty,
I always thought that Psycho Pirate would fit for such story arc. He shares many characteristics with the Mule and would probably begin to fear that he succeds at his conquest of the world.
Brandon Hughes
The Mule suffers against the teleporters and robots that frequent cape universes.
Aaron Edwards
Mentalics also work on robots, as seen in Daneel and Giscard. Teleporters would fuck him though, albeit I'd imagine if he starts from 0 he'd probably figure how to deal with them as he begins to understand the setting.
Christian Richardson
Mule works on a higher scale though. The instantaneousness of his power and his intent radar are the main issue.

These Reapers possess an aura which subjugates the will of sentient beings? And the process cannot be reversed or halted? These machines hold the key to Anti-Life! I must conquer them immediately and learn their secrets!

The Hunger
An entire multiverse decided eternity and infinity were bullshit so it decided to rebel and eat everything to become big enough to bully god and let it die. Basically, its a planar system that eats other planar systems, but it requires a source of reality warping to keep itself stable for long periods of time.
Something like a complete Infinity Gauntlet would be suitable. It has several tells to its arrival and even after it arrives it can be fought for a short while. More or less Galactus but on a bigger scale and also utterly insane
Jayden Fisher
He'd be a fun villain for street tier heroes. Without jojo bullshit he'd be pretty difficult to take down
Leo Cox
But thats not a villain user
Sebastian Green
The Hunger is fairly nightmarishly broken for most capeshit that isn't some DC tier fuckery.
Jayden Allen
>Yes, they know! For a million years we have been trapped in this ship, listening to the electromagnetic chatter of your tiny self-worlds. We know you better than you know yourselves. Your enemies came to use us, and instead we shall use each other.
All it would take is one missile or infection beam to an inhabited world and everyone is fucked. DC and Marvel seem to be full of those but have very little in the way of starship fleets that could destroy the Naggarok.
Lincoln Lewis
It has a really glaring weakpoint though. Starve it out or go for the core.
It could serve as a clean up of alternate continuities. Let it eat a bunch until someone escapes and properly warns the next one about how to deal with it
Have high tier magic users converse with Jon.
Also absolute eyegasm, the Hunger illustrated has to look beautiful. I cant wait for when the graphic novels gets to Story and Song
Daniel Brown
You're going to need some fairly fast space-flyers to catch the Naggarok. The damn thing is ridiculously speedy.
Colton Bailey
The idea is more that Hayden makes a youtube video telling the world to love him and it 24 hours he has taken over half of the world but the Mule is indeed more powerful.
Tyler Fisher
Psycho Pirate is really underused, he is basically a less interesting Mule (as a character) but modernized (cause the Mule was written 70 years ago and it shows). Hes individually weaker, but craftier, uses tech to build up on his existing powerset, which is also more varied- compared to The Mules straightforward overwhelming telepathy-
David Collins
Not to mention the The Naggarok isn't a mindless devouring swarm like the rest of The Beast. It's perfectly happy to negotiate and make treaties. Would the Kree or the Skrulls like a alliance to guarantee their enemies are destroyed?
Julian Harris

Back when the Reapers were a fucking scary, almost unfathomable threat, and you spent the entire last hour of the game struggling to even get close enough to confront one. Realizing all the while just how small and hopelessly outmatched you are.
Then we got two sequels full of
ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL!!1!
and blasting Reapers from trucks, and all that excellent dread and terror evaporated.

He's a dick, but he did what he did because the dreamworld was acting parasitically towards the people it ensnared, slowly but surely fucking them over.

Would it be a credible threat, or was it only an issue because of the environment they were in?
John Taylor
the environment they were in was pretty much the only thing preventing it from assimilating the entire planet
Ayden Howard
It would be planet-ending at the minimum. The Thing was only not an instant game-over because of the environment they were in. The movie happened in the BEST CASE SCENARIO for The Thing.
It would probably assimilate the entire Southern Hemisphere before the big guns figured out what it was. Time travelers could fix the issue, someone like Flash could too, with a lot of work. Otherwise you're looking at calling in heroes to glass half the planet and a thousand mile buffer zone. And if it's gotten into the ocean already, you're looking at destroying Earth and cutting the losses.
Evan Rogers

>incites this by acting through agents who carry fragments of her strength and use them to manipulate the powers of the world into war
>on the off-chance her centuries-long, deeply seated conspiracy to control the world is discovered and she is forced to fight, powerful enough to warp whole planes of existence
Ultima wouldn't just do well in the Big Two, she'd thrive. Hell, the neverending conflict that those two universes endure is more or less self-sustaining, to the point that she probably wouldn't strictly NEED to involve herself unless they started getting close to reaching some kind of common ground.
Jaxon Rogers
These guys would be fun. I could imagine it all.

Hudson Martin
Wario isn't a villain. At best he'd be an anti-hero and corporate rival to Kord Industries or Stark Tech or whatnot, and he'd often get into/start trouble by stealing magical artifacts he finds shiny (like the time he stole the Ruby of Cyttorak).
The only time he'd be considered a serious threat is that time he managed to steal Larfleeze's ring.
Hudson Butler
>aliens that can construct machines the size of skyscrapers

Photino birds (From Xeelee Sequence book series).
They aren't evil villains per se, they're just a civilization that has a biological requirement for their own continued existence that is in direct conflict with almost every other living entity.
Photino birds are dark matter entities that require stable and extremely powerful gravity wells to reproduce. That left them requiring stars as nests. Unfortunately, young supermassive stars are too unstable, and supernovae are dangerous for their offspring, so they will age stars to being white dwarfs before using them as a nest, often resulting in the death of every planet-based life form in that system. They comprise most of the universe, set themselves in a temporal loop, their children are identical duplicates of themselves, and they have instantaneous FTL travel.
Anyone that can take out a star or create a black hole can kill them, but their temporal loop system waits until the end of time and initiates a save state that brings them all back to the beginning of time. They effectively dominated their home universe and the only species they were even aware of left to a different universe after realizing they weren't going to be able to prevent the Photino Birds from rendering the universe a permanent twilight of white dwarf stars in which nothing else could prosper.
James Wright
Oh right, and if they are threatened, they'll sling entire galaxies toward the enemy at light speed.
David Sullivan
Wario infiltrating various hero/villain bases to steal powerful objects would be fun

Christopher Robinson
What was the Reaper's endgame again?
>There's no time to explain, you wouldn't understand
Seems like someone who needs to get Dick Ridered.
Ayden Miller
I feel like the concept of the Zohar is something that could be explored in a Fantastic Four book.
It'd involve the Interdimensional Council of Reeds discovering the simultaneous appearance of strange and similarly-shaped artifacts in all pans of reality. Always inquisitive toward the unknown, the Fantastic Four, which were visiting, agree to go investigate. Turns out it's not a bunch of artifacts appearing in multiple dimensions, but a singular artifact existing across all dimensions. The artifact seems to be drawing in energy from each dimensions, but in too low quantities to be considered a threat. Soon, many alien races from different dimensions and alternate versions of heroes and whatnot all start taking interest in their dimension's visible part of the artifact, conducting research, trying to weaponize it and whatnot, until one day, an entire dimension vanishes from all multiverse scans without a trace.
Fearing the artifact had something to do with it and could prove a threat to all dimensions, the FF decide to travel THROUGH the artifact to the "missing dimension", realizing it's not so much as "missing" as it was fundamentally changed on such a scale its multidimensional reading was changed to something else altogether. They eventually find out that this reality's Reed Richard had found a way to take energy OUT of the artifact and used it in an experiment to rewrite his reality, which caused a massive energy surge that killed all current inhabitants of his reality but himself, being in the epicenter of the blast. He tried to play God for a bit (as Reeds are known to do) and eventually managed to re-stabilize his reality and restart life, vowing to never use the artifact's powers again. With the help of the FF he then elaborates a scheme that will hide the artifact's presence from other realities so no one can do what he did ever again (but of course someone eventually will because comics)
Josiah Collins
according to what one of the writers posted on their blog, the original endgame was that abusing ezo leads to exponentially accelerating entropy. The Reaper's main goal was finding a way to avoid the heat death of the universe, and creating a bottleneck infrastructure that allowed them to purge any civilization that can't resist the forbidden fruit dangled in front of them is just to keep organics from drastically reducing the amount of time the reapers have to R&D the genuinely godlike technology needed to even begin testing hypotheses on how they could do it.
Leo James
They were artificial life forms made to discover a way to prevent organics from being wiped out by their synthetic creations, and came to the conclusion to wipe out all organic life before it can create synthetics that would wipe them out.
David Price
That sounds like a neat sci-fi concept and in every way superior to STARCHILD YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN bullshit, what the hell. Bioware really did get killed by EA.

"Rogue AI/robots hellbend on destroying organic life" isn't exactly an original concept.
"Robot ordered to protect mankind finds that death/subjugation is the best method to do so" is also a tired trope (see the awful Will Smith cinematic adaptation of I, Robot that missed the entire point of Assimov's original work in exchange for a generic robot uprising story).
Ultron, the Phalanx, some takes on Brainiac, there's plenty of examples in cape comics.
