Sadistic? Not really. Sadistic implies he takes some form of pleasure from causing pain, when in actuality he just has a great hate and intolerance for any type of evil. He's like what Genos would have been had he not met Saitama. A very powerful being that through some tragic past had gained a very black and white view of the world with no place for mercy. And his reasons for blocking other heroes who aren't strong enough is because he doesn't want heroes that can fail in S- Class, because to him, good should always prevail. S-Class is supposed to be the epitome of good, the ones that the citizens can always trust to beat the bad guys. So if they fail, the citizens will become scared, and unable to trust heroes to actually win. And according to him, if you trained hard enough, you should never fail. And until the Monster Association arc, that has stayed true for him.

So he's honestly not bad, dark, or sadistic. He just has a very strict and idealistic view of the world, and a great desire to protect the good of society. So while you could call him an anti-hero for never trying to capture a villian, or even allowing one to live, you could also say the same of Saitama, seeing as he killed every monster he came across, despite having plenty of power to capture them unharmed. The only difference is that Saitama draws the line at only killing monsters, where as Sweet Mask draws his line at killing any evil, human or monster.
