What separates a great supervillain from a lame supervillain?

motive and means

How you treat them. They're only as lame as you make them.

It's relation whit the Hero.

If the villain can do something that will throw the reader for a loop then a weak motive is fine.

Motivation.

You can see where they're coming from as to why they're a villain, but you still want to root against them.

It depends. For some it's as simple as having a really awesome design/costume. For others it's their motives. For others how good of a foil they are to the hero, or how they challenge the core of the hero.

Superman is an alien who believes in humanity's inherent goodness and capacity for improvement.
Lex Luthor is a human who challenges Superman's assumptions about both humanity and himself.
In contrast Venom has a pretty weak motive to be a villain but a killer design.
