Things are getting complicated for the Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Valentina Allegra de Fontaine has assembled a new team of heroes, but the public isn’t thrilled with the idea of former criminals saving the day, and the new Captain America, Sam Wilson, feels the same way. He’s planning to create his own team, even if it causes conflict. But all these disagreements will have to be put aside when Doctor Doom arrives – he’s set to be the most powerful and dangerous enemy Earth’s heroes have ever encountered in Avengers: Doomsday.
Even though Doctor Doom is a formidable villain, he won’t remain a threat indefinitely. Eventually, those who survive his first attack will overcome him and protect the multiverse. However, a single win won’t guarantee lasting peace. Here are seven powerful Avengers enemies we still hope to see appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
7) Count Nefaria
The Avengers don’t always fight villains from outer space or other dimensions. Count Nefaria is a rich criminal who travels to America hoping to build a larger criminal empire. When the Avengers interfere with his plans, he seeks to gain an advantage by getting a scientist to give him powers similar to those of other famous villains. Nefaria becomes incredibly powerful, requiring the full force of the Avengers to stop him. Ultimately, his own powers cause him to age at an accelerated rate, leading to his death.
6) Whirlwind
I’ve been following the reports about Nefaria’s robberies, and it’s wild to learn who he’s stealing from! One guy, Whirlwind, is a mutant with the power to spin super fast – creating, well, a whirlwind! It doesn’t sound like much, but he’s surprisingly effective. He actually targeted Wasp and Ant-Man, figuring they’d be easier to take down. Apparently, he really, really hates the Pyms! He even went undercover as a driver just to get close to Wasp and find out more about her and the rest of the Avengers. It’s pretty creepy how dedicated he is to his grudge.
5) Michael Korvac
Far in the future, a hostile alien race called the Badoon invades Earth. Humanity attempts to defend itself, but their efforts are undermined by Michael Korvac, a human who craves power. After transforming into a cyborg and gaining a fraction of the Grandmaster’s abilities, Korvac travels to the present day and clashes with several superhero teams, including the Avengers. Even when defeated, he isn’t truly gone – the Grandmaster repeatedly revives him to continue his hunt for powerful opponents.
4) Graviton
Marvel’s scientists really need to be more cautious with their experiments. One example is Dr. Franklin Hall, who gained the power to control gravity after an accident. Unfortunately, instead of becoming a hero, he quickly turned villainous, forcing the Avengers to intervene. Though defeated, like many classic Marvel villains, he always manages to return. Graviton, as he’s known, even appeared on the television show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but because the show’s place in official Marvel continuity is unclear, he still fits the bill as a recurring threat.
3) Arkon
As a film buff, I’ve always been fascinated by stories about difficult choices, and this one’s a doozy. It centers around Arkon, a ruler from another dimension called Polemachus, who’s living the good life until he discovers his world is facing destruction. The catch? The only way to save his people involves a massive explosion on Earth – one that would cost countless lives. He ends up on our planet and, in a really twisted move, manipulates the Scarlet Witch into aiding his plan. Naturally, the Avengers step in to rescue Wanda and confront Arkon’s strongest warriors, leading to an epic showdown.
2) Living Laser
Not all villains are born leaders – some are actually more effective as followers, and that’s perfectly fine. The Living Laser, for example, started causing trouble after a painful breakup, and when he fell for the Wasp and got hurt again, he decided to take revenge on the Avengers. To achieve this, he joined forces with other villains like the Mandarin and Batroc the Leaper. Although he never managed to defeat them, it’s interesting to see a villain motivated by genuine personal grievances.
1) Morgan le Fay
Doctor Doom usually works alone, but his most frequent partner is Morgan le Fay. She’s a very powerful sorceress, a mix of fairy and human, and incredibly old. When she discovers an Asgardian artifact capable of altering reality, she enlists the Scarlet Witch’s help and kidnaps her. This throws Earth back to medieval times, with le Fay taking charge as ruler. While her reign doesn’t last, she certainly makes a strong initial impact.
