10 Classic X-Men Villains Perfect For The MCU

Even though Task Master is a formidable foe for the upcoming Black Widow movie, delving into the Russian roots of Ms. Romanoff would be a perfect way to introduce Omega Red into the MCU. A failed KGB attempt to replicate the super-soldier serum, Arkady Rossovich ensnares victims with his carbonadium tentacles and drains their lifeforce.

As we await Sam Wilson’s journey to becoming the new Captain America, who better to put his new mantle to the test than Omega Red?

A nod to him in Black Widow followed by a proper feature in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier would present an intense villain whose parallels with Captain America’s origin would offer a fitting contrast to Wilson’s rise.
