If you want to accelerate evolution, just shoot people into space and wait. Sooner or later we're due for another geomagnetic storm. Anyone in LEO will get hit with all kinds of fun particles and mutations are sure to follow.

We narrowly missed another one a few times ago. If it had hit, all that stuff about society collapsing and mass die offs would have happened. Your scenario doesn't really need a supervillian.

What I like most about this thread right now is that geomagnetic storms represent a relevant, modern threat which could have and very nearly did result in the devastation that the OP was asking about and y'all have disregarded it as an antagonist and instead argued about some hitler poo poo.
