Top Tier: MCU, Villains Top 10

They Were Inevitable

Welcome back to Feats N’ Faults, where our Tiered Point System ranks and records our favorite characters based on their achievements and deeds. Please check the About Page for a more in-depth look at how points are awarded. Our Tier System is below for quick reference. Spoiler Warning!

We finally made it to the Top 10 villains of the MCU. For those just joining us, do not forget to read the previous installments to get a better sense of who might be at the top of this list. Before continuing, I want to remind everyone that the MCU is a constantly evolving beast. This list could and will probably change. As of now, this list covers everything from MCU up until Deadpool and Wolverine. Any past that release has not been tallied or covered yet. So, who made our top 10? Let me know in the comments, and try to take a stab at who you think made the number one position. I have a slight hint for all of you: Thanos is not in first place. Let that breathe for a second and give your mind space to ponder who might have beat him for this coveted position. 

Let’s Get Started!

10th Place, Agatha Harkness: 46 FN’F Score (2021-2024) 17 ep.

What a legend and last-minute addition to our top 10! Agatha Harkness came out of nowhere. She still has zero movie appearances but killed it in her Disney+ show. Agatha has proven herself as one of the strongest mystical forces in the MCU, even if she is a ghost now. Agatha broke the Scarlet Witches’ spell, created a legend surrounding the Witches’ Road, and used that to drain the magical powers of multiple covens. The more impressive aspect of her performance is the zero faults. It is harder to score a fault as a villain, but it is still a fantastic feat to not score a single one. I mean, come on, she held her own against Death. She not only held her own but also dated the literal embodiment of Death. What a badass bitch! 

9th Place, Ego: 48 FN’F Score (2017) 1 Movie

Beating Agatha by two points is an actual living planet! Every villain is coming out to try and win this thing. While Agatha had an entire show, Ego only had a single movie. In one of the weirdest plots, Ego went around impregnating hundreds of women and then planting seeds to take over and destroy their worlds. In doing so multiple solar systems worth of planets were completely annihilated. He almost got the Earth, too. It is a good thing the Guardians of the Galaxy were there because Ego had the potential to take over the entire galaxy. If only he didn’t tell Quill he killed his mother for no reason. I mean, seriously, you almost had the guy. What a rookie mistake. 

8th Place, Kilgrave: 68 FN’F Score (2015-2019) 13 ep.

Close your ears, everyone; Kilgrave is making his move. What an intensely deranged character. Every word out of his mouth turned into a feat. With one word, he could hold someone against their will and cause them to do horrific acts. Forcing someone to put their hand in a blender, killing anyone in his way, and committing more sexual crimes than I would care to imagine. This man could have taken over the entire world but focused more on his comfort and Jessica. I’m glad he never set his sights on the planet because any Avenger who would have tried to stop him would have ended up joining him with no resistance. The world would have fallen so quickly. Yet, even with this lack of ambition, Kilgrave was able to score 68 points and make it to 8th out of all MCU villains. Looks like another Netflix villain will make his move later down this list. Any guesses on who else might show up and dethrone Thanos?
