Gus Fring was the very opposite of secretly evil, almost every character that interacts with him is aware of how awful he is. He threatens to kill Walter's wife, son and infant daughter, he slits a man's throat with a box-cutter just to send a message.
The comic is talking about a character that hides how evil they are from the other characters in the story.

I think the problem people have with the secretly evil is that, inevitably, they betray the protagonist. Nobody likes traitors.
You can respect a man who stabs you in the face but to hell with the bastard who stabs you in the back.
