Not necessarily the \'\'ultimate\'\' villain, but definitely a formidable one. Basically, in order to be both a MagnificentBastard \'\'and\'\' a CompleteMonster, the character would need to be as devious/charismatic as they were monstrous, something which is extremely difficult to pull off. If the evil overshadows the magnificence, they will be a CompleteMonster, but lose their MagnificentBastard status. If the reverse happens, they will be a MagnificentBastard, and the audience will continue to root for them. This is assuming, of course, that the character meets the criteria for both, since not all Bastards do exceptionally heinous things, and not all Monsters commit villainy with flair and brilliance.
