True, everyone loves watching superheroes ... but if there's one thing that the Joker taught us, it's that people love watching the villains just as much. Over the course of the last seven years, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has done a great job of adapting a litany of different comic book heroes for the big screen — and, while not every villain has made the jump unscathed, the vast majority of the villains hit the nail right on the head.
Since fans are only a few weeks away from finally seeing Avengers: Age of Ultron, it's about time to take a look back — not at the heroes or the movies themselves but the villains. After all, what's a superhero without a supervillain? Granted, we weren't able to include Ultron on this list, as the movie isn't out yet — aside from the robotic menace, everyone else is up for grabs.
So, without further adieu, the Top 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe villains:
#10: Thanos
First Appeared in: The Avengers
As it stands, no one has had more influence over the Marvel Cinematic Universe than Loki. Yes, he was following orders from Thanos during the events of The Avengers, but without Loki, most of the major stories in the Cinematic Universe never happen. He's also got the closest connection with the God of Thunder himself — meaning that, no matter what, Loki can't be permanently dealt with. He's the worst case scenario for the Avengers ... and that's what makes him such a fantastic villain.
So, will Ultron dethrone Loki as the greatest Marvel movie villain ever? Will Thanos live up to his massive reputation when Infinity Wars Pt. I and II finally hit theaters? Will anyone ever remember who the Destroyer is?
While no one knows what will happen to Thanos, it won't be long before fans can finally see Ultron in action: Avengers: Age of Ultron hits theaters on May 1.
... And no — nobody will ever remember who the Destroyer is.
