5 Marvel Comics Villains Who Are Currently MIA

Someone should really be keeping tabs on these guys.

Villains are always causing havoc for someone.

Heroes and civilians alike are always under the looming threat that some ill-intentioned person in an outlandish costume is going to turn up at their place of work, the bank or even the supermarket and ruin their day. Imagine that you were out buying eggs and you ended up having them stepped on by Stilt-Man on the way back to your car - it's not on.

Some villains are egotistical and they'll announce their plans before they strike, either by broadcasting them on the TV or the internet. Either way you'll know what to expect, but some villains fail so much that they eventually retire... or end up on the wrong end of The Punisher.

Arguably the most dangerous villains of all are the ones that are currently unaccounted for. These villains were dangerous, they were formidable and suddenly they went missing, so what are they doing and where are they hiding?

Not to be underestimated, there is always a chance these unseen and unregulated rogues could make a comeback.

5. Whirlwind

Although a bit of a joke, Whirlwind has had a ton of visibility over the years, which makes his lack of panel time since 2016 odd. He's usually a good villain for heroes to deal with while they wait for the next real threat to turn up, sort of like enhancement talent in the world of professional wrestling.

The nature of his visuals and his whirlwind-based powers make him a bit of a classic villain, hearkening back to days past when comics were a lot more outlandish and a lot sillier visually. While it is impressive that he's appeared so often over the years since, he hasn't really had any update to bring him into contention with his peers or make him a credible nuisance.

He recently joined a number of criminals trying to reform under Scott Lang's security company, their ethos being that the best people to help secure things are people who once made a career breaking into things. However, when it came down to it, Whirlwind wasn't much for change and ran off into the sunset with a large sum of money.

Maybe he made off with the exact amount he needed to retire...
