One thing I've noticed on Tumblr, is that most of the time, "Villain Whump" is usually an individual who was never really that bad, and was more a minor inconvenience and pest than actual danger, and was always frenemies or love interest to the heroes pre-whump.
And while this is a great trope, that is not Villain whump. That is shady dude whump.
Please. We need more actually once-terrifying Villain and Supervillain whumpees.
