Men vs Gods
Welcome back to Feats N’ Faults, where we use our Tiered Point System to rank and record our favorite characters based on their achievements and deeds. For a more in depth look on how points are awarded, please check the About page. Below is our Tier System for quick reference. Also, Spoiler Warning!
The MCU Villains are back, and we are finally getting some impressive numbers. It only took five parts, but we finally reached the 20s! We have a super fun feed today. There are a lot of gods and regular guys on this part of the list. Who do you think will score higher, the gods or man? For those playing at home, we are ranking Gorr, Dreykov, John Pilgrim, Arthur Harrow, Bullseye, Crossbones, Surtur, Ronan, and Electro. Get your picks in now and list them from least to greatest. Let me know in the comments how you did!
Let’s Get Started!
34th Place, Crossbones: 18 FN’F Score (2014-2016) 2 Movies
I wish we got more of Crossbones. A SHIELD agent that turned merc is a fun storyline. He was done pretty dirty in Civil War. Becoming the throwaway antagonist in the opening action scene. His actions did lead to the explosion that Wanda threw into that building. So, I guess you can look at it like he caused the Sokovia Accords. The suit he got is awesome. Just look at that masterpiece. Nothing too flashy, just a simple premise. It is a fun take on the character, and I wish we had more. The actor has moved to DC and is playing Flag Sr., so head over to DC if you want to get that fix.
33rd Place, Gorr: 18 FN’F Score (2022) 1 Movie
Next, we have the god killer, Gorr. Christian Bale is a great actor, and Gorr's look is intimidating. It is a shame that Love and Thunder went a little too silly. He has fun, menacing moments, and the black-and-white fight scene is sick. However, I still feel like Gorr was shortchanged in the MCU. He only had one movie and still scored 18, so that is a positive. Plus, no faults! Wack off a couple of gods, and you will be bound to make a name for yourself.
32nd Place, Surtur: 18 FN’F Score (2017) 1 Movie
I think Surtur set the record for the highest number of points to the least amount of feats. He did not even have enough to fill out his card. It was the quality of those feats that put him this high on the list. Did he beat Thor? Yeah, he did, plus his sister Hela. The real coup de grace was when he destroyed Asgard! That is a planetary feat. An entire realm that he just snuffed out. I wonder what he is doing out there now. Is he just floating in space? Sitting on an asteroid of rubble? Who knows, but I’d like to think he is reading this right now and proud that he beat the other god killer.
31st Place, Ronan: 19 FN’F Score (2014) 1 Movie
Just under the 20 barrier is Ronan. The Guardians movies hold a special place in my heart, and Ronan is an intimidating villain. Well… at least until the end of the movie. He destroyed thousands, got an Infinity Stone, and slaughtered Drax’s family. Yet when he was on the precipice, he let a dancing man stop him inches from victory. He had the Infinity Stone and was one hammer swing away from destroying the planet, the Guardians with it. Instead, he stopped to look at a funny earthman and got distracted. He was so close to earning a 16-point planet feat! HE could have been so much more. No one better show this guy Footloose. He’d be in a coma for weeks!
30th Place, Arthur Harrow: 19 FN’F Score (2022) 6 ep.
Arthur Harrow rounds out the 30s and beats Ronan by not having a single fault. This ambassador to Ammit went around judging and punishing people before they even committed the crime. It is a new power I had not seen before and found it very creepy. Arthur was also the previous Moon Knight before he and Konshu had a falling out. I would not want to live in a world run by Arthur. It is a good thing that Moon Knight and Scarlet Scarab were able to stop him.
29th Place, John Pilgrim: 20 FN’F Score (2019) 11 ep.
Does anyone remember John Pilgrim? He was the main antagonist for Punisher season 2. It was during the end of the Netflix show's popularity, so a lot of people missed it. He was a no-nonsense guy and spoke very little. He had been addicted to a ton of vices, which led him to not be there for his wife. After that, he swore off everything but killing, I guess. He was good with a gun but awful with hostages, letting people go before he got the info out of them.
28th Place, Electro: 22 FN’F Score (2014-2021) 2 Movies
Electro beats John by a single point. He shut down the power to all of NYC and captured Spider-Man. He went from a dorky IT guy to Jamie Foxx! He had one hell of a transformation in No Way Home. I’m just glad they did not make him blue again.
27th Place, Dreykov: 22 FN’F Score (2021) 1 Movie
Who is this guy? Why he’s the main villain of Black Widow. You know, everyone’s favorite villain. I don’t blame you if you read Dreykov initially and had no idea who he was. I’m an avid Marvel watcher, and I had to look up this guy to remind myself who he was. He does not get any faults because he has little screen time and runs a tight ship. Anytime one of his agents is about to squeal or act against him, he’d just kill them. He is an awful human being. The dredges of society capture little girls and turn them into assassins. I’m so glad he got got. I love it when Widow finally gets the upper hand on him.
26th Place, Bullseye: 24 FN’F Score (2018) 11 ep.
Then, rounding out this week’s list is Bullseye from Daredevil. Pointdexter here is a fantastic shot. He can turn anything into a weapon and make the Joker’s disappearing pencil trick look like child’s play. He not only took Daredevil out but replaced him. He stole his suit and went around masquerading as him! What a move. It must be so demoralizing to see your archrival wearing your getup to kill people. I hear he will be returning in the next season of Daredevil. The sky is the limit for his FN’F Score. I can’t wait to see him in action again.
