Every Marvel Cinematic Universe Villain Ranked Worst To Best

35. Thanos - Various

Thanos Avengers
Marvel Studios

Plan: To unite the Infinity Stones.

Status: Just blossoming.

Right now, Thanos is no more than a work in progress, and all we've actually seen of him amounts to his character design and some moody muscle flexing. Ranking him any higher based on those would be illogical.

He'll come good for Infinity War, and will no doubt jump to the very upper echelons, but for now, he's defined mostly by hiring underlings who are singularly incapable of delivering on his plans, abusing those working for him so they betray him or being slightly incompetent himself.

After all, he had one of the Infinity Stones in his possession (within Loki's sceptre) and he handed it over without realising what he had. And now he has to get it back - that's just poor planning.

At least he looks the part though.
