Every MCU Villain Ranked Weakest To Strongest

30. Justin Hammer, Arnim Zola, Alexander Pierce, Helmut Zemo, Sonny Burch

Most of the villains in the MCU have something going for them, and though this group of bad guys are just ordinary people at the end of the day, they do make up for their lack of physicality elsewhere.

Justin Hammer was able to use his conniving manipulation to cause trouble for Iron Man (even if he was a terrible inventor); Arnim Zola helped found HYDRA and used his intellect to infiltrate SHIELD; Alexander Pierce almost killed millions with Project Insight, in hopes of leading HYDRA to greatness; Helmut Zemo broke up the Avengers thanks to his thirst for vengeance; and Sonny Burch was cold and able to act as a solid obstacle to Ant-Man's latest mission.

None of these character would last long in a fight, but they're clever enough to find ways to still be a decent threat.
