Pet peeve of mine: Superhero/supervillain AUs that aren't clear on the degree of villainy involved. Is this the kind of supervillain who commits elaborate art heists, or the kind of supervillain who blows up a hospital? Just showing them fighting superheroes doesn't make that clear. I want to assume it's the former in e.g. a civilian/supervillain romance but how am I meant to judge just how careless the civilian is acting if the fic doesn't say one way or the other.

Agreed! I get especially annoyed if the author seems to feel that the two types of villain are morally equivalent. (Or implies that the supervillains are committing elaborate art heists while the so-called heroes are blowing up hospitals to stop them, but that's a slightly separate issue and peeve.)
