10 Worst MCU Villains Of 2021

10. Kazi (Hawkeye)

For the majority of Hawkeye, it was the Tracksuit Mafia that were the key antagonists. They hijacked the black market auction, they tried to kill Clint and Kate several times, and as they operated underneath Fisk and Maya, they did much of the dirty work. One member that stood out from the rest of the group, or at least was supposed to, was Kazi.

He was almost treated as an equal to Maya, as he was William Lopez’s number 2, and according to Clint knew more about the operation than anyone. However, he had the potential to be so much more than just another member of the Mafia.

In the comics, Kazi is a hired assassin with a tragic and deeply disturbing backstory. He goes by the name of the Clown, befriends an unknowing Kate, kills Grills, and is killed himself trying to fulfil the contract he had to murder Clint Barton. This would have made him a far more intriguing character.

Instead, all he really added to the show was name-dropping Uncle before the big Kingpin reveal, and turning against Maya’s father, keeping fans of the Matt Fraction comics waiting for an evolution of his character that never came.
