I'd have to go with greed here.

Greed makes people do terrible things, and some of the other 'deadly sins' just seem less bad.

Pride: Can be a good thing too, would not say greed is ever really 'good'

Lust: Not really so bad, we need to procreate after all

Wrath: Maybe they deserved it

Gluttony: Greed applied only to food?

Envy: Circumstantial greed?

Sloth: Laziness seems less harmful than greed in terms of the world's problems

The deadly sins make cool anime characters. But a few of them overlap and generally relate to a lack of self-control. There is nothing inherently wrong with eating ("gluttony") or having sex ("lust"), but either taken to extremes is a detriment to oneself or society.
