While there have been many iterations and imaginations of the Joker, the main thing that drives any of them is giving the Batman a bad day. That's it.

Even if we want to stay in the FF universe, Kefka is the villain I'll turn to. One of SE's best and most memorable villains ever; also had no rhyme or reason to what he does. We only learn that he was driven mad from the mako infusion experiments. Otherwise he is just nihilist, hell bent on destroying all life because he simply cannot comprehend the purpose of it. We never got an extensive background to Kefka. As a matter of fact, we have more on Zenos than we do him.
What's interesting about this is that I love the Joker and Kefka is my favorite villain of all time. They are both but jobs, just like Zeno's but this ties back to my point about Zenos just not being well written period. It's not like you get a ton of backstory on Kefka either. We know he was experimented on with Espers and that turned him nuts but it's his presence during the game where we interact with him that is written much better than Zenos. I found Kefka super compelling and the same with the Joker. I don't find Zenos compelling at all.

I understand what kind of a character Zenos is. His type of villain is just not my personal cup of tea.
