Now marvel studios' MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) has entered the fourth stage, and the recently released foreign "Thor 4: Love and Thunder" has also led to a more powerful villain after Thanos - Gorr the God Butcher. The character, played by Christian Bell, who used to play Batman in DC.
The most attractive fans of comic book superhero movies are the protagonists who have superpowers or super equipment. But in addition to the protagonist, the movie also needs memorable supervillains. These villains abuse the protagonists to the point of slag, which obviously increases the difficulty of the challenge in the movie, so as to attract the audience more; Marvel's interconnected universe, only by uniting all kinds of superheroes, can we fight against powerful enemies together.
Here's an inventory of the ten most sinister villains in Marvel Comics.
1. Ultron
In the comics, Dr. Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man and officially certified "Domestic Violence Man", in addition to researching the Pym particle, also involves the field of robotics, and uses his ideas as a blueprint to create Ultron.
Ultron was endowed with artificial intelligence genius-level wisdom, and self-improvement iterated several times, becoming a powerful force. And when Ultron became self-aware, he became evil in an attempt to destroy all organic life on Earth and began to attack the Avengers.
The movie Avengers 2: Age of Ultron is an adaptation of the original comic book, created by Iron Man. The film clearly downplays Ultron's abilities, otherwise he would have been able to live as many more episodes as Thanos.
2. Dr. Destruction
Victor von Doom, or Doctor Doom, is Marvel's classic villain. He's an almost a combination of Iron Man and Doctor Strange, with science and magic combined, ranking fourth in Wizard Magazine's "List of the 100 Strongest Villains of All Time" and third on IGN's "100 Strongest Comics Villains of All Time List."
He is mainly a villain in the comic book "Fantastic Four" and a lifelong enemy of "Mr. Fantastic" Reed Richards, but the film is also obviously weakened by the screenwriter, otherwise the four protagonists would not know how to beat him. Dr. Doom has also been tough with the Avengers, and in the comic book "Secret War 2015", Dr. Doom is even more omnipotent, taking into account the god of creation and the almighty ruler, and even tearing Up Thanos.
Dr. Doom is one of Marvel Comics' most popular villains. He combines technology and magic perfectly, and can get back up even in hell. He is also one of the most powerful magicians in the Marvel Universe, previously seen as Anthony Doctor Strange vying for the title of Supreme Magician. The villain who knows magic and understands science asks you if you are afraid?
3. Red Skull
Johann Shmidt is the Red Skull. He is the complete opposite of Captain America, in the MCU he is the founder of the "Hydra" organization, his natural leadership ability, keen sense of political and military strategy, macro planning and organizational skills, making him captain America's most troublesome villain.
Although the enemy's enemy is a teammate, the red skull's evil level is staggering, not all the villains support him, even the villain Magneto clashes with him, and the red skeleton is maimed and hospitalized.
The Red Skull once stole the Cosmic Cube and possessed great power. The Cosmic Cube can change the reality of the universe, but it cannot change people's minds. So the Red Skull swapped himself with Captain America with the Cosmic Cube and did a series of bad things. Captain America was almost discredited by him.
4. Thanos
Thanos is derived from the name of a grim reaper in Greek mythology, who is probably the most familiar villain for Marvel fans at present, and the nightmare of many superheroes in the MCU. Originally translated as "Annihilation", it was gradually abbreviated to "Thanos", and has now been officially recognized by Marvel. In the comic book, Thanos' motive for evil is to impress the goddess of death and to win the heart of the goddess.
Maybe the screenwriter feels that the "licking dog" persona is not suitable for the mighty and domineering big boss Thanos. In the "Avengers" series of movies, his ideal has become to establish a balance in the universe, randomly kill 50% of the cosmic creatures, and become a tragic environmental "virgin" (Spider-Man: Listen to me thank you).
Even without the Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos demonstrates the power and ability to easily crush characters such as the Hulk and Thor. When he obtained the Infinity Gauntlet and gathered six gems, he became the most powerful being in the universe.
5. Dark Phoenix
The creator of the X-Men comics, Jean Grey is by far the most powerful mutant. Dark Phoenix is the inner personality of Chin Grey, making her an omega-level mutant who surpasses Professor X and Magneto, and the power of the phoenix gives her the power to destroy the world.
In the original manga, Chin Grey wakes up to Become Dark Phoenix after being subjected to deadly radiation. This is the materialization of the cosmic and extraterrestrial phoenix forces. She is eventually corrupted by this sudden power, causing Qin to lose consciousness and accidentally destroy the alien world.
In order to prevent more deaths, Chin Grey eventually ended her life. In other words, the only one who can defeat Dark Phoenix is Dark Phoenix himself.
6. Magneto
Magneto is Marvel Comics' supervillain, real name Max Eisenhardt, and is an Omega-level mutant. Magneto can manipulate metal at will, just by turning his wrist, Magneto can turn the Quinjet into a metal ball and launch it into space; Wolverine and Iron Man, superheroes who can't do without metal, are sprinkled with water in front of him.
Magneto is a more morally conscious villain, so it doesn't make him look so deadly. But he is a radical who believes that every human being should pay the price for being hostile to mutants. At critical moments, Magneto can be an unexpected ally, working with Professor X to fend off enemies, as he is also a man who does not want the end of the world.
The Comics features Four children, Nina, Wanda, Quicksilver, and Polaris. Because Marvel had not yet fully acquired the rights to the X-Men (in the hands of 20th Century Fox) when it filmed the movie "The Avengers"), Marvel simply tampered with the lives of Quicksilver and Wanda (Marvel was a good actor), turned Quicksilver from a younger brother to an older brother, and then had no half-cent relationship with Magneto (Magneto: Hi Daddy, but not completely).
7. Onslaught
Onslaught is a marvel comics supervillain. He is the product of Professor X's combination with Magneto's dark self-consciousness, a natural spoiler. When Professor X entered Magneto's mind and shut it down, the onslaught was born. He witnessed all the pain of Magneto, or rather, he was made up of a combination of fear and hatred.
By killing the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and many other heroes, the onslaught eventually established itself as one of Marvel's fiercest villains. He's more powerful than any other villain in Marvel's history.
Luckily, Franklin Richards saved the heroes by moving them to another earth. But he also paid a terrible price for overcoming the onslaught.
8. Conquistador Kang
Kang the Conqueror is Marvel's supervillain, whose real name is Nathaniel Richards, from more than 3,000 years AD, and is the ruler of the future world galaxy.
As one of Marvel's most powerful villains, Kang is a time traveler who has conquered the entire universe. But no matter how the chronological order changes, he can go back in time and let beat these superheroes. And Kang was exposed to future technology, and he defeated the Avengers more than once.
Kang's true prowess has always been a mystery, and it wasn't until the recent 2022 Marvel miniseries that his abilities became clear. Kang is unique in that he encounters various avatars of himself on all timelines. Marvel always engages in various universes, various timelines, may not be so edited, simply can not fill the pit that the screenwriter dug himself.
9. Gel the God Slayer
Born on a barren planet, Gorr the God Butcher no longer believed in the existence of gods due to the death of his lover and children, and was determined to destroy the gods of the universe. In the recent Thor 4: Love and Thunder, The God Slayer Gel finally appears and nearly kills Thor.
Gel's story is tragic. In the comics, Gehr was born in a culture that revered the gods, but he never had the luck to be saved by the gods, and was properly a "son of heaven".
After the strike, Gore was exiled and forced to witness the death of his wife and children. He began to kill and destroy all the gods, accusing them of disrespecting anyone. Gel is the owner of the primitive symbiote All-Black, which can destroy the entire gods. Fortunately, Thor, however, eventually stopped him.
10. Kovac
What does it look like when a genius programmer becomes a god? Back in the 1970s, there was a programmer villain who could destroy the entire planet in an instant. He is Kovac.
Michael Korvac, a genius programmer, woke up to find his lower body truncated and replaced with a computer system component. He was transformed into a cyborg. But over time, he gradually controlled the computer system, and absorbed knowledge and energy to become a cosmic boss (knowledge changes fate ah classmates... ）
He tries to establish harmony and perfection in his own universe, and when the Avengers fight him, Kovac kills each of them. After Kovac eliminated death, the only way to defeat him was to make him submit. Kovac appears in the recent Iron Man comics.
----- sexy dividing line-----
These are the 10 most evil villains in Marvel comics. But I kind of miss Thanos, because the Avengers series has made Thanos a god-like being. The more powerful the villain, the more it highlights the difficulties of the protagonists, who need to pay more effort and price to defeat the enemy.
To respect the enemy is to respect oneself. If the villain is weak, it becomes a joke to defeat the opponent yourself. Marvel can actually consider creating a few more "Thanos"-style villains, perhaps more to stimulate the audience's desire to watch movies.
