Who knew? The super-talented Carrie Coon is wasted in a role that desperately deserves to be expanded. Sure, as the ruler of the Dark Dimension, Dormammu is one of the most powerful villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But for the few minutes this villain is present onscreen, he just looks like a purple, psychedelic wrinkle in the space-time continuum.
Bizarrely, it was in the trailers. His greed makes him compelling, and his smarts make him scary. Ego, the Living Planet Kurt Russell , is a mass murderer. His relationship with Star-Lord Chris Pratt is one of the more emotionally resonant bits of writing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: He cares about his son, if only as a means of spreading his seed further. He uses the power of telekinesis to torture Doctor Strange with needles.
On the other hand, all he did was read a few words off a piece of paper. So here he sits in the middle of our list. But her gold visage is intriguing and her imperial air mesmerizing. By the end of the movie, she creates what we can only assume will be the main villain of the next Guardians movie: Adam.
Perhaps one of the most politically apt villains of this era: A man who feels the technological advancements that have benefited the rich have simultaneously deprived him of his chance to earn a living wage. Unsurprisingly, a superb Michael Keaton succeeds at imbuing this genuinely scary villain with a note of empathy. Was Nebula Karen Gillan ever really a villain? We would argue yes. She did her best to stop the Guardians from achieving their goals.
Of course she was motivated by a sibling rivalry with Gamora, rather than a desire for power. She essentially becomes a hero, once she and Gamora reconcile. And it seems, given his incredible intelligence, that Ultron could have concocted a better plan than picking up a piece of land and dropping it back down to earth.
Alkhema, originally known as War Toy, was created by Ultron and had the brain patterns of Mockingbird. Member of the Defenders of the Deep who opposed the Avengers. Annihilus, a native of the planet Arthos, is the ruler of the Negative Zone and longtime foe of the Fantastic Four.
He is a nihilist who is obsessed with finding different ways to extend his lifespan and isn't opposed to destroying all that which he sees as a threat to his existence.
One of the very first mutants, Apocalypse is both thousands of years old and a monstrous tyrant that has been a longtime foe of the X-Men. Apocalypse believes that only the strongest whether mutant or superhuman should survive. His body is a mix of organics and powerful celestial technology, boosting his shapeshifting and other powers to god-like levels. Seeking challenges, Arcade has tested the abilities of many superheroes in the Marvel Universe.
Trapped inside his dangerous Murderworlds and playing to survive, always nothing more than just a game for Arcade. Ares is the son of Zeus and the Olympian God of War. After years of fighting against The Avengers, Thor, and mostly his own brother Hercules, Ares joined the ranks of the Avengers. Though the enduringly dastardly collective hasn't always been led by a Zemo, the connection between the villainous dynasty and the Masters of Evil is inextricable. Founded by the elder Zemo, the former Nazi scientist Heinrich, as a force to oppose the newly founded Avengers, and, by extension, Zemo's old nemesis Captain America, the Masters quickly grew from a handful of second-string henchmen into one of the most feared and formidable groups to ever oppose the Mighty Avengers.
Aside from the Zemos, the Masters have been lead by such villains as Ultron, Dr. Octopus, Justine Hammer, and Egghead, and included almost every menace ever to oppose the Avengers, along with numerous rogues more associated with other Marvel heroes. At one time boasting a roster consisting of almost 20 villains including the entire Wrecking Crew, the Absorbing Man, Mr.
Hyde, and too many others to name the Masters of Evil have almost always been a formidable force. It was this veritable army of supervillains, lead by founder Heinrich Zemo's heir, Helmut, that saw the Masters of Evil's greatest moment of triumph over the Avengers. In the legendary story ' Under Siege ,' the Masters lead an attack on Avengers Mansion that left the building in ruins, the Avengers scattered and broken, and their ever-faithful servant Jarvis on death's door.
Though the Masters have not had much activity since Helmut Zemo tricked the world into thinking they were heroes founding the Thunderbolts in the process , Zemo's recent return to villainy would imply that it may only be a matter of time before the Masters of Evil are once again in play. No Avengers villain has a stranger dichotomy in his relationship to Earth's Mightiest Heroes than Loki, the Asgardian prince of lies who appears found new life and new facets to be explored after his cinematic appearances in The Avengers and the three Thor movies, and most recently in Disney Plus' Loki.
While he has menaced the team to the point of near constancy, he is also directly responsible for the team's founding. In a scheme designed to pit the Hulk against his brother Thor, he inadvertently alerted several other powerful superhumans to his scheme, and the rest, as they say, is history.
The original 'threat no single hero could withstand,' few villains in all of Marveldom can match Loki's power, and none his cunning, trickery, and manipulation, though many of them actually received their powers from Loki himself. Like most of the Avengers' greatest enemies, he shares a familial connection to the team, in the form of his brother Thor, the mightiest of the Mighty Avengers. In recent times, Loki's unending schemes lead to the fall of Asgard at the hands of his seeming ally, Norman Osborn, as well as the death of Avenger and Olympian war god Ares in the limited series Siege.
Though his villainy eventually also led to his own downfall, Loki was reborn in the pages of Journey Into Mystery and continues to pop up to this day.
Though he has been known by many names or, in modern Marvel terms, Variants the man once called Nathaniel Richards is best known, and most feared, as Kang, the Conqueror. A time-traveling warlord from an alternate Earth, Kang is one of the Avengers' oldest foes, having menaced them in his various guises almost since the team's inception.
At times appearing as the Scarlet Centurion, Rama-Tut, Victor Timely, Iron Lad, and Immortus, Kang's goal has almost always been the same; to find, defeat, and yes, conquer the greatest warriors and civilizations throughout time and space. Kang's finest hour came at the end of Kurt Busiek's legendary Avengers run in the story Avengers: The Kang Dynasty when he actually succeeded in conquering the Earth.
His horrific visage strikes terror into the hearts of even the bravest of men. The utterance of his name alone is enough to send many heroes cowering in awe.
