Faux Affably Evil is a subversion of this, so I don't think it counts. Also, shouldn't Evil Is Sexy be "For the audience"? It's a YMMV entry.

This is the supertrope for the cases where villains have qualities that make them more likable. This kind of thing easily leads into AntiVillain when more than a smidgen of these tropes is added. See also the SlidingScaleOfAntagonistVileness. Contrast HateSink (which is when a character is intentionally made to be unlikable) and for some examples, CompleteMonster (where the villain is so repugnant and despicable that there's nothing positive to say about them).
