In other words, if this were a superhero comic by any other writer - such as say, Stephanie Meyer or Kelly Armstrong or Bill Willingham?
Bill Willingham actually did exactly such a villain on Fables though. Gepetto gives a completely similar speech about how his reighn would have brought love and peace for all and is far better than all the good and evil quarreling murdering Fables, so I don't think Willingham fits the list.
I disagree a bit about your point 10. I'm not sure if it really is in character for Buffy. From the show I'd say no, but comic Buffy has always seemed so alien to me that maybe for her it is? I'm still leaning more towards magical influence on that one, something that accillarates the depression she was slipping into all season.
A man entered her dream who looked like Angel and was floating in air, dressed in similar colors to Twilight, he said my love...then she saw it was Ethan and threw up in her mouth a little.
That was one of the very few scenes in the comic that I actually read as a clear reference to Spike, not to Angel. Because he's wearing a coat that goes all the way down and a red shirt, which is a lot more trademark to Spike than to Angel, as is calling her "love", so I'm not quite sure I'd interpret the dream the same way.
And I'll henceforth forever refer to Twangel/Buffy as Twuffy, it's perfect.
Also I really think you're on to Something with your FDW theory, that would bring things together very nicely.

Some points where I'd like to add bits though:
