10 Classic X-Men Villains Perfect For The MCU

5. Arcade

Arcade X Men
Marvel Comics

An assassin who uses elaborate deathtraps to kill his victims, Arcade has popped up in various issues over the years and is most closely associated with the X-Men. His first appearance included a failed attempt to kill Spider-Man and Captain Britain — but there’s no way Sony will let another villain leapfrog over their own rogues' gallery on the silver screen.

A trip into Murderworld, his deadly amusement park, would be ideal for a Deadpool movie, but such a surreal concept would also function well in the upcoming adventures of Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch.

Whether it’s a tale of a good-day-gone-bad in an episode of WandaVision or a terrifying adventure that Stephen Strange is faced with in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Arcade has the ability to be a visually-striking villain.

Or, if nothing else, there’s always a way to retcon him as another disgruntled ex-employee of Tony Stark.
