10 Essential Avengers Villains Not Yet Used In The Movies

One of the most iconic and intimidating villains the Avengers have ever had to face, Kang is a futuristic time travelling warlord from an alternate timeline who, while villainous, has a code of conduct and an interest in keeping order in a chaotic universe. He's clashed with the Avengers on multiple occasions, and has even appeared in the Earth's Mightiest Heroes series as a sympathetic but dangerous enemy.

Even with multiple incarnations, Kang and his goals remain clear and simple—to conquer. His status as a great benefactor in his own time makes him an interesting villain in his own right, a complexity that audiences would definitely appreciate. The fact that what makes him a benefactor to some makes him a villain to others is fascinating, to be sure, and deserves to be explored onscreen. Also, time travel. Always fun, always crazy.

If Marvel gets around to a Young Avengers adaptation onscreen, his younger self's role as Iron Lad would make for some gripping drama, showing how his status as a time traveller lets fans explore the "What Ifs" of his life in ways you never could with other villains. That's definitely the kind of villain you'd never get tired of.
