Hans for sure. Remember, Simon wouldn't blow up a school: "I'm a soldier. Not a monster." Hans wouldn't think twice about blowing up a school if it made his plan work easier. In fact, I get the impression that Simon would have preferred a minimum of casualties if possible.

shareSimon wasn't prepared to blow up a school full of children, Hans knowingly sent a pregnant woman up to a rooftop to be blown to kingdom come. Hans.

Great observations andrewmcdonaldgloucester.
I like the exchange in 'Die Hard with a Vengeance' between McClane and Simon, where McClane calls Simon's brother an a hole. Simon laughs in agreement and concurs that McClane has 'got [Han's] number'. I like to think that Simon is implicitly acknowledging that his brother was relatively cruel and extreme in his methods in comparison to himself.

Bingo.
shareI really don't know, but I would not like to spend a weekend with their parents.
shareI think Hans was the more evil of the two. Not only is Hans more ruthless and less compassionate than his brother, Simon agreed with John on his brother being an A-hole, or as the TV-friendly version puts it, an animal. Either way, Hans is still the better character between the two.
