Considering how grotesque Mephistos chamber was, I'm guessing he was the most evil. He was the eldest and the strongest, at his time. He took over the whole Zakarum Church and was the only one not to be defeated and imprisoned in a stone.
I vote Mephisto all the way.
And remember what Maruis said after he claimed he saw Mephisto, his damn voice was "like a thousand needles in my heart" and he said that he could be none other than the Lord of Hate and Demise himself. That sounds pretty evil.

Oh, I just studied into Mephisto's backstory a little. Here's an expert from the Diablo Wiki:
"Mephisto is considered the most intensely evil brother of the three Prime Evils (and is also the oldest). So overwhelming is his evil that his malevolent influence can bring the dead back to life; these zombified beasts are filled with such anger for the living that not even death can quench their desire for pain and suffering. Mephisto may also be viewed as the most intelligent and calculating. Over the years, after having ensorcelled the Zakarum, he used his newfound power to bring the lands of Sanctuary under his heel through the martial power of warped Paladins, and sent the Zakarum deep into Westmarch, where his inwitting servant, King Leoric, would take over Tristram."
yea i agree with all u guys but i have to say out of the 3 Baal is "less evil" then the three and also the weakest...the youngest is usually the weakest

someone once said "Corruption has spread, even to mans best friend"

Granted, he is not a Prime Evil but what is more powerful than a Lie? A lie can turn friends against each other, a lie can drive nations into chaos, a lie can bring others into the fold...What can be more evil than knowingly deceive an individual to meet your own ends?
He's not on the list, but Belial gets my vote. After all, he is one of two Demon Lords to not be defeated in the games. Possibly because his lies maneuvered him into position behind his brothers to avoid death and gain their greater power. After all, Palpatine didn't become Emperor by going out and getting his hands dirty. He lied and tricked the galaxy to destroy itself and the jedi and end with the masses exalting him to power.
Yes, but the game is called Diablo. Knowing Blizzard, I doubt they would take out the one character that the game is named after. Somehow, Diablo is gonna come back. Maybe not Mephisto or Baal, but defiantly Diablo.
I just dont think the belial's deception is enough to make him the most evil out of the demons. Since i mean cmon other demons lie, mortals lie and EVEN angels lie.
Remember a warrior's greatest weapon is his enemy's greatest weakness or fear, and in that statement shows that Diablo is the most evil since his way of destroying others is by exploiting their deepest fears. a terrifying death is a fear exploited and is used in a devil's twisted mind's uses. to top that his been brought back to life once, in his plans to control the protoganist at the first diablo game. He is also the youngest and it was said once that he is the most powerful of the three.
Baal is weak, he is more of a jester for me, he must show great power in his path of destruction, but that is a barbaric trait, not an evil one. Well at least to me, but Demonic raw power doesnt show a lot of evil more of a senseless way of using it. He is in the Middle wether he's more or less powerful than Mephisto is currently unknown, but he is weaker than Diablo.
Mephisto might be the oldest of the three, but he is not the most evil for me neither most powerful, He's main strong point is his Hatred, which is well what sparks wars,Civil riots, protests and even crusades since hatred is the main cause of a leader's blind deception to do a senseless thing. Even though he corrupted an entire monastery of priests alike, that doesnt show his evil to me, but it was evil. Still though People hate other people everyday, maybe not enough to want to rip them to shreds. But believe it or not, hatred is in yu and me. He is the oldest and is always presumed to be the strongest, but no he is not BUT some ppl presume the he is the most intensly evil out of the three, i disagree

Your kind of hypocritic you know
Hatred is in everybody yes, so is Fear, both driving factors for Destruction.
Mephisto didn't corrupt a Monastery, that's what Diablo did. Mephisto corrupted a whole Temple and all its inhabitants that serve the religion of the Zakarum (Light) AND also the whole surrounding area of the temple AKA Kurast. The only thing he didn't corrupt was the Kurast docks, while Diablo only corrupted the Monastery and King Leoric partially. And also don't forget that Mephisto freed himself from his soulstone and shattered it
As for your 'powerful' comment, this is what Blizzard stated for the Ubers:
Diablo is the TANK
Baal is the DOTTER (Damage Over Time)
Mephisto is the ARTILLERY
You know what Artillery is in military terms right? Cannons, Tanks, Sharpshooter Weapons. That is alot of power if you ask me

A lot of people use this as evidence, but its not real evidence because they are three different situations. Its not actually a proper fair test.
If you ask me, Diablo had it fairly easy compared to Mephisto, let's look at the situation:
Diablo: King Leoric and Civilians
Mephisto: Zakarum Priests (Both High and Neophytes)
Alright, King Leoric is a dedicated follower of the Zakarum, that is equally one Zakarum Priest, see the comparism here? Diablo corrupted one Zakarum follower and his followers while Mephisto corrupted a whole TEMPLE of Zakarum followers
Misunderstanding leads to fear (Terror)
Fear leads to Hate (duh)
And hate leads to destruction.
Assuming I have that right (Again assuming) I'd have to say Diablo by default.
Although we could also go by age and Mephisto is the eldest I believe.
So....in the end (tuh) it's still diablo and mephisto. Poor Baal.
The Necromancer says "All who oppose me...beware"
The Witch Doctor says "BOO NUH MA GA!"
The Cow says "Mooooo"
Deckard Cain Says.....Toy explodes....
I vote Mephisto all the way.
And remember what Maruis said after he claimed he saw Mephisto, his damn voice was "like a thousand needles in my heart" and he said that he could be none other than the Lord of Hate and Demise himself. That sounds pretty evil.

It kinda says the truth.
i thought that diablo was the youngest??!
Enigma1's post supports my opinion
Just clearing it up for those above me.

Prime Evils
Diablo: Lord of Terror =Dead
Baal: Lord of Destruction =Dead
Mephisto: Lord of Hatred =Dead
Lesser Evils
Duriel: Lord of Pain =Dead
Andariel: Lady of Anguish =Dead
Azmodan: Lord of Sin =Assumed Alive
Belial: Lord of Lies =Assumed Alive
Their gonna bring him back to life somehow.
