Kevin Feige’s Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) started in 2008 with the first “Iron Man” movie, taking the box office by storm and not letting up, even through 2021. The journey was long, moving from cinema screen, to home TV as the MCU migrated from phase one to phase four of content production. Up until the fourth phase, villains in the MCU had been highly one dimensional and incredibly stereotypical, with a few key exceptions. But with the introduction of Marvel TV shows came increasingly complex villains, ranging from prior heroes to groups of average people fighting for what they believe to be right. The myriad of villains ultimately contributes to a far more diverse plot and creates characters which capture the hearts and minds of the viewers.
