What would be the meanest fast bowling attack?
I reckon it would consist entirely of West Indians. Sylvester Clarke, Colin Croft, Patrick Patterson and Roy Gilchrist.

(The Bold would be my choice)
However, there is some thing about Wagner that fascinates me. He is oblivion to the fact who he is bowling to. His aggression (without the speed) is unmatchable at any time of the match. Doesn't matter if the team's tail is up or down.
Other meanest would be Ambrose with the right situation. The towering figure already intimidates everyone just like Garner and Holding. None of them took any prisoners. The sight of Marshall steaming in already put fear on the opposite spectators at the stand. Imagine the batsman facing him.
I don't comment on "Chucker and cheater". (Multan)

The ones I mentioned were known for wanting to hurt the batsmen. Ambrose up there with them possibly and agree even holding, also walsh at times was a mean bugger.

True. The WI hound dogs would sacrifice 40 extra runs per innings just to fear in you. Current Cricket rules are so different with unlimited bouncers days.

Colin Croft right up there.
What about those pacers in the 'Bodyline' series?
BD had a good amount of pacers but they have not been sustainable except for these 3: mashrafe, Rubel, and Shafiul.
Mustafizur is not considered because he is new to the test cricket.
