Yes, you must treat the villain just the same as how you treat your hero.
No one wants to read about a person who should be evil, but is incredible insane, without an evil thought to do evil, or a person who simply does evil without a cause. Long story short, your villain must have an original back story or an origin.
Thus you must tell why, how, when and where does the villain becomes one.
And of course, you have Simple Villain and Super Villain. Having the same principle of forces just the way how a hero does.
Example of a Simple Villain is The Joker, but an example of a Super Villain is Darksied (D.C.)
Note: the Joker is a true Simple Villain. He's not just incredible insane, but has a cause to be insane and some evil thoughts to conclude his villainy. With pretty much a great reference to the iconic novel The Killing Joke.
Example of a Simple Villain is The Vulture, but an example of a Super Villain is Thanos (Marvel)
