10 Even More Movie Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won

10. William Ginter Riva - Spider-Man: Far From Home

Though Spider-Man: Far From Home ends with Spidey (Tom Holland) defeating Quentin Beck aka Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal), the movie elects not to mop up the army of disgruntled former Stark Industries employees who were helping Beck behind-the-scenes.

And chief among them is William Ginter Riva (Peter Billingsley), who first appeared in the original Iron Man and returns here to aid Mysterio in his vengeful superheroic masquerade.

After Mysterio dies at film's end, we catch one final glimpse of Riva as he backs up a copy of Mysterio's drone software and prepares to leak Spider-Man's identity to J. Jonah Jameson (J.K. Simmons), and that's the last we've seen of him to date.

Before Riva disappeared into the ether, he created a massive problem for Peter Parker by exposing his identity, and though Parker eventually managed to resolve this by the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, having everyone forget who he is was certainly a less-than-ideal solution.

Unlike Beck, Riva not only survived but likely also maintained his anonymity and so was basically able to slink off into the night undetected, free to do... whatever the hell he wants.
