I think the general problem with things like Maximally Great Beings is that what is 'great' is essentially subjective. If one's idea of what an MGB is contains the attribute of omnibenevolence, it would seem that an ontological argument could establish the existence of an MGB with that property inversed to be omnimalevolence. And it doesn't seem you could claim the benevolent one is inherently greater than the malevolent one, because then you're special pleading from your own set of values from what I can tell.
