Genesis drove him mad. But if CC didnt exist one could genuinely guess hes evil bevause he wants to rule for the hell of it.
He was evil before Genesis was even a thing in the continuity. And he didn't want to rule - he was calling down Meteor to destroy everything.
He went on what was supposed to be a routine inspection of a Mako Reactor, found out Hojo was using the Mako to try and make more supersoldiers like him. Freaked out, locked himself in the study for a few days to try and make heads or tails of the situation - and found out he was the child of Jenova, whom was believed to be one of the Cetra. He goes over-the-top about his new discovered heritage and blames the settled Cetra (those that became normal people) for all the ills of the world and goes to hang out with Mom.
During which he attacks Tifa, and then gets into a fight with Cloud and is thrown over a pipe into the Lifestream below. Recoups up north and manipulates fragments of Jenova into doing his bidding, culminating in him using the very person who defeated him to bring him the key to destroying the world. Really, looking at it - it all seems like a horrendously fatalistic revenge-plot against Cloud rather than being just for the hell of it.
