10 Terrifying Horror Villains The MCU Won't Use

8. Dark Beast

Marvel is chock full of evil twin characters, it being a trope as old as time itself. And among them all, few are quite as disturbing as Dark Beast.

Like normal Beast, Dark Beast is a scientist obsessed with biology and how the body ticks. The difference is that Dark Beast doesn't quite know when to stop. Or rather, he does, he just doesn't much care. What makes him so disturbing is that he IS Hank McCoy, just a different version of him with a small handful of differences with how his life turned out. So it could just as easily been our Beast that turned into this heinous, bone chilling sociopath.

While Disney has gotten their hands on the X-Men characters at long last, it is unlikely that we will see Dark Beast show up in the MCU. Partly because if it doesn't have Magneto or Wolverine in it, the X-Men characters don't much care about it, but also because of how deeply disturbing and terrifying a creature Dark Beast is.
