In a story? Yeah it works, although I like it more if there's an explanation for why they're OP.

I guess it's fine. It makes them more of a threat. But you're going to have to be consistent.

Depends

I would think most people would want that in a story otherwise the villian would not be taken very seriously as a villian. They would be more of a rival. Plus it makes the heroes and innocents that much weaker looking. So when they do finally beat them, it makes them look that much better.

There is nothing wrong with making your audience hate the antagonist. Just some thoughts anyway.

Not really, it's better to have a smart villain instead of a strong one generally..,
If you make them overpowered then it will look like your just pulling things out of your ass to make him look cool which makes it boring and frustrating.
On top of that, with a villain with those kind of powers, you'll have to come up with some stupid, deus ex machina excuse for his defeat

A villian can become OP from their intelligence.

Yeah, just look at Batman.
Yes I know he's not a villian.

And he lets irredeemably, uncontrollable villians live so they can start harming the innocents.

If the villain STILL beatable,yeah

If the villain STILL beatable,yeah

If it doesn't end up as a Gary Stu it's fine, make sure to give both strenghts and flaws.

It depends on the story and the type of game it is
