10 Essential Avengers Villains Not Yet Used In The Movies

9. Count Nefaria

One of the more traditional comic book villains—traditional as in, campy and dramatic with a ridiculous name to match, while still a decided threat—Count Luchino Nefaria is a rich, conniving aristocrat who's part of the Maggia, one of the Marvel universe's most infamous crime syndicates.

His money, power, and influence make him an even bigger threat than most other villains with super-powers of their own. His reach in the criminal underground is vast, and his penchant for furthering scientific fields with his patronage and enriching his resources with the most advanced weapons he can pay for.

Having faced both the Avengers and the X-Men, it would be exciting to see how these two teams (rights now merged) might deal with a man who has the greatest super-powers of the modern world: money and criminal influence.

And expanding the MCU with the Maggia's influence as a criminal organisation, alongside powers like Roxxon, the Ten Rings, and even characters like Wilson Fisk, would make for some compelling storytelling fans can look forward to. Not to mention the fact that his daughter, Madame Masque, is a memorable villain in her own right, with ties to Tony Stark himself.
