They both maybe hero and villain on the surface but deep within they could not be any more different.
Bowser may be a tyrannical goofy villain but deep within he is a great father to Bowser Jr. Ever since Super Mario Sunshine we've seen Bowser's softer side to where he actually cares about his son and raises him the best way he could and throughout the years we've seen more and more evidence of Bowser doing a great job as a dad like with parental controls for the Switch 1 & 2. This actually has a good impact on Junior as it makes him a willing member of the Koopa Troop and a great asset in Bowser's conquest. This is shown true when in Bowser Jr's Journey during the final battle against the Best Fitness Friends when they asked him if Bowser's minions are really evil, Junior simply responded by showing his dedication to Bowser and his army showing how much of a good dad Bowser is. Junior loves him so much that in Bowser's Fury he's willing to make an unholy and temporarily alliance with Mario if it meant saving his father. Bowser's not just a good father to his biological son he's also a good father to his adopted kids the Koopalings as shown in Bowser Jr's Journey when Bowser asks them to help look after Junior to help him grow, he's willing to entrust the Koopalings and Kamek to Junior to help him grow as a leader and help him learn to trust others because the Koopa Troop is all about teamwork. Bowser may have raised his kids to be villains and they may clash with Mario and the others more times than not but at the end or the Bowser loves his kids and is truly a good father. My hope is that we learn more about Bowser's family like his mate or brother.
However this was not the case for Endeavor. Despite being a literal superhero, Endeavor is probably the closest thing to a villain. For starters the only reason why the entire Todoroki family exists is because Endeavor needed to birth a child with a powerful Quirk that can surpass All Might, when he couldn't because Endeavor was jealous of All Might for taking the number one spot. He literally made 4 attempts at birthing a child with a mix of fire and ice and only succeeded when Shoto was born and shit was still not good. He abused his wife Rei so much to an extreme that her mental health starts to deteriorate to the point when she fears her own children looking like Endeavor to the point where she burns Shoto's left side giving him his iconic scar. While we're on the subject on that he isolated Shoto separating him from his siblings not even allowing them to play or interact with them he'd even hit him too when Shoto's not doing anything right and neglected the rest of his children. And the impact he had on his children was obvious. Rei was sent to a mental health hospital and while she and Fuyumi were able to forgive Endeavor, Natsuo and Shoto could not especially Shoto who suffered the most although they'd eventually forgive or at least let go of his hatred in Natsuo's case as he didn't truly forgive him unlike Shoto. But perhaps the one who is mostly impacted by Endeavor was Toya. Toya was neglected so much that he ended up becoming the villain Dabi and as a result started killing innocent people and heroes all to ensure Endeavor's flames are to blame for it and the shocking thing is it worked so well the public was outraged by Endeavor and blamed him for Dabi's actions. Dabi was even willing to kill his own family just to get his revenge on Endeavor and would've continued with his rampage if Shoto hadn't stopped him. Endeavor's impact on his family is so negatively massive it speaks volumes for how much of a terrible father he is. I will give him credit for owning up to his actions and redeeming himself for all the terrible stuff he did and in that regards Endeavor has my respect but before that though he was not a good father much less a good husband. Bowser may be a villain and Endeavor may be a hero, but Bowser being a better father is proof that there are some things villains are better at than heroes. Yeah it's Bowser no contest.
