10 Villains Who Need To Appear In The MCU

8. The Hood

Although he began life as a petty criminal, Parker Robbins eventually managed to make a name for himself as a leading crime boss, thanks to a magical cloak that he stole from a demon. His new threads grant him invisibility and levitation powers, sparking his ascension as the feared crime lord known as ‘The Hood’.

Robbins leads a calculated double life, earning himself a reputation as a gentle soul in front of his loved ones, while simultaneously nurturing an entirely different rep within the criminal underworld.

The Hood would make for a fine addition to Marvel’s Netflix canon, not least because he’d be able to tie the likes of Daredevil and Jessica Jones into the wider Cinematic Universe. You know those pesky Infinity Gems everyone is always falling over each other to get? Well The Hood once possessed several of these stones. What if one of the Infinity Stones was actually under our heroes’ noses all along, in the possession of a ruthless mob boss who was using them to unite New York’s criminal gangs into one cohesive syndicate?

It’d be an interesting turn of events, and would certainly give Thanos cause to come knocking on (or through) Tony Stark's door.
