10 Terrifying Horror Villains The MCU Won't Use

1. The Skinless Man

Do...do we have to explain this? Really? Okay, here goes.

If you were ever wondering why they called Wolverine "Weapon X" then here's the answer: that isn't an X, it's the roman numeral for 10. Meet weapon #3: The Skinless Man.

He wasn't always skinless, mind you. No, we have the Captain Britain Corps to thank for this little bit of nightmare fuel. But his weapon III training gave him not only the ability to survive without his skin, but use telekinesis to move his muscles around like J-horror tentacles.

Oh, and he REALLY likes taking off other people's skin as well. Because this guy wasn't horrifying enough.

We could go into all the other horrific stuff this guy gets up to in other comic appearances, but do we really need to? it should be plainly obvious why there will NEVER be an MCU movie with the Skinless Man playing the big bad. He has no skin, only muscle, bone and sinew, and his whole thing is putting you in a similar predicament as him. While it would be ballsy as hell for the MCU to use him, don't hold your breath.
