There is one downside to giving the best of the best their flowers, though. All of them steal so much of the spotlight that the solid villains that contributed plenty don’t get mentioned much at all. And as the years go by, it’s becoming easier and easier to forget them entirely. Here are three MCU villains that simply don’t get enough praise.
3) Ego
Peter Quill can tell there’s something off about him, but he can’t quite put his finger on what until his dear old dad arrives on the scene in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Ego seems nice enough at first, welcoming his son and his team to his planet with open arms. However, he eventually reveals his true colors, and they’re not pretty.
Ego’s ultimate goal is to spread himself all over the galaxy and take control. That’s bad enough, but he also reveals that, in order to move forward in his mission, he had to get rid of all of his attachments, including Peter’s mother. While Ego sounds remorseful for his actions, it doesn’t change what he did.
2) Alexander Pierce
Captain America has a difficult time adjusting to the world after he comes out of the ice. The only thing that keeps him going is his work with S.H.I.E.L.D., which seems to be helping people. Once the head of the spy organization, Alexander Pierce, sets his sights on the Star-Spangled Man, though, the vibe starts to change.
