So going through each villain:

Dio from part 1 is arguably the weakest, which is saying a lot considering the shear power he had, but after the advent of stands, Dio’s Original form is much weaker.

Kars is the purely strongest, surpassing even that of semi-powerful stand users with his abilities. But, him not being to see stands, if we are accounting for this, gives him a slight disadvantage.

DIO from part 3 is definably stronger than his part 1 variant. He may be missing his freezing and eye laser powers, but what he loses he gains in The World, the original OP stand (If we aren’t counting Star Platinum). His maximum of 9 seconds for time stop actually allows him to take out most low level stand users in a second. I’m using The World as the standard of an overpowering stand.

Kira is last, under the situation of a direct fight. Killer Queen, it’s second bomb Sheer Heart Attack, and it’s third bomb Bites the Dust, weren't designed for direct combat. They were designed for stealth. Killer Queen leaves no evidence of it’s explosions, Sheer Heart Attack is designed dispose of targets from a distance, and the entire use of Bites the Dust is to hide it’s user identity.

I still have no clue how King Crimson works.

Whitesnake, C-Moon, and finally Made in Heaven are scary powerful, and are a threat in any scenario.

And don’t get me started on D4C.

So overall in my opinion: 1. Made in Heaven 2. D4C 3. King Crimson and The World 4. Kars 5. Killer Queen 6. Part 1 Dio
