12 Marvel Characters You Didn't Notice Are Already In The MCU

8. Doctor Faustus - Agent Carter

Doctor Faustus may not be as iconic as Green Goblin or Magneto but that doesn't change the fact he's among the deadliest people to walk the Earth. Being the world's greatest hypnotist, the self-proclaimed Master of Men's Minds can convince anyone to perform any act, no matter how devious. Considering he compelled Sharon Carter to shoot Captain America dead, simply by uttering a pre-programmed phrase should give you an idea of how terrifyingly powerful Faustus is.

But despite his legacy, many people didn't recognise him when he debuted in Agent Carter. You see, Doctor Faustus is a portly man with red hair, a bushy beard, a monocle, who wears a striped, green suit, and uses a long cigarette holder.

But because Agent Carter's rendition of the character incorporated none of those elements, you wouldn't know who this guy is, unless you recognised Faustus' real name, Johann Fenhoff.

Oh, wait. He doesn't go by that name! Instead, his name was changed to Ivchenko for... reasons. If you didn't notice his brainwashing technique is called The Faustus Method, you wouldn't have the slightest inkling this was meant to be the man who killed Cap.
