13 Marvel Villains Still Alive In The MCU (Who Could Return)
5. The Vulture
Adrian Toomes is a villain of necessity, driven to crime as a means to feed his family in the wake of his salvage business being destroyed by the government and Tony Stark. He isn't a megalomaniac and has no designs on taking over the world: for him, it's just about doing business in an economic downturn.
After Spider-Man brings down his organisation, he hunts him down and their final confrontation leads to Spidey saving his life, despite Toomes knowing his secret identity.
Where Is He?
In prison, where he meets a vengeful Mac Gargan, who tries to find out Spider-Man's secret identity from him. Toomes' gratitude to Parker for saving his life leads him to refuse to tell.
Threat Level
We already know that Toomes will be back for Far From Home, but the fact that he feels obligated to protect Peter Parker thanks to his blood debt suggests he's probably not going to be a villain any more. The biggest threat he represents is one of knowledge: the fact that he knows that Peter Parker is under the mask is dangerous as there's no telling what other villains might do to find that information out.
