10 Essential Marvel Villains Not Yet Used In The Movies

5. Kang The Conqueror

Kang the Conqueror
Marvel

Why He's Awesome: Kang actually has no superhuman powers in the traditional sense, though uses his genius-level intellect to master the mechanics of time travel, and as such has not only fought and defeated the fiercest combatants from the past and future, but has also amassed advanced technology vastly superior to our own.

Kang's most prominent foes have been The Avengers, and his bizarre honour system means that he prefers to face his enemies head-on rather than using his time-hopping advantage to end the battle before it's even begun. As you can probably guess, this code of "ethics" is also pretty much his weakness.

Kang has occasionally flirted with heroism, but his more entertaining and memorable moments are most certainly when he's a grand champion fighter hungry for his next challenge.

How Likely Is He?: Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn confirmed last year that Fox has the rights, so it's hard to imagine much happening with him at all, sadly. 2/10
