The big bads of the Marvel Cinematic Universe all kind of suck – with a few notable exceptions via nparts
It’s no secret that a great villain can make or break a movie. So, you could be forgiven for assuming that superhero movies and their good vs. evil narratives would be especially reliant on a big bad to increase the stakes and make the story arc more compelling.
Ivon Vanko a.k.a. Whiplash , Iron Man 2A long time ago, Tony Stark’s father sent Whiplash’s father to a penal colony in Siberia. Growing up in the shadow of his father’s resentment, a shirtless Ivon decides to avenge his family and take Iron Man down, with the help of a pair of Arc Reactor-powered whips attached to a hydraulic harness .
Aldrich Killian , Iron Man 3Motivated by profits, Aldrich Killian is a super genius who sets up false-flag terrorist attacks to help drive up the demand for the weapons his company produces. Sounds like a snooze, but the character allows Guy Pearce to chew some scenery — rarely a bad thing. Ultron , Avengers: Age of UltronHumans are little war-mongering worms, so Ultron, a very big robot, wants to wipe us out so that metal beings may roam the earth in peace. No, this was not a Terminator crossover.
Ego the living planet , Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2The endlessly chill Ego, the Living Planet wants to become the Living Universe and transform all that is finite into an extension of his own immortal Ego. And you thought Tony Stark was full of self-admiration.
