10 Comic Book Movie Henchmen Who Deserve Way More Praise

8. The Black Order - Avengers Infinity War (2018)

Before these four knuckleheads came along, our knowledge of the Children of Thanos consisted only of Nebula and Gamora.

So imagine the confusion when the very first character to speak in the long awaited Infinity War was one of these creeps, and they're just there like we should already know who they are!

We don't get much into the backstory for these guys, but these four are distinct and they serve as great villainous pallet-cleansers between Thanos and his army of ravaging oil-drenched Machamps.

Devoted to their master, we're given the full monty of enforcers including the grunting strong one, the vocal menacing psychic, the quiet martial artist, and the lieutenant of the endless army. And while their names are awesome and make them sound like heavy metal bands, we only hear Thanos speak of one- Ebony Maw.

For a mad villain like Thanos, he needed an entourage just as lunatic as him and thankfully he got four of them that were just unique enough to be recognised, but not interesting enough to take the spotlight away from him. If the Avengers aren't fighting Thanos, they're fighting these guys.

And that's just the way it should be.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
