13 Marvel Villains Still Alive In The MCU (Who Could Return)

2. Ayesha/The Sovereign

As the Guardians Of The Galaxy learned in their second movie, you should always be wary of triggering an entire race of aliens through disrespect when they view that sort of thing as a crime worthy of death. You should also definitely not steal from them, lest they'll send their entire drone fleet after you to destroy you.

Ultimately, the Guardians escape the Sovereign fleet, but all that does is anger their leader Ayesha more and she vows revenge using her new creation, Adam Warlock, despite her superiors questioning her careless misuse of resources.

Where Is She?

Exactly where she was last time we left her, as High Priestess of The Sovereign, licking her wounds. She'll be back, as long as there's a Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 and she's not coming alone.

Threat Level

Ayesha herself is a pretty powerful character, given her access to her people's resources and even without a fleet, she has the intellect to create the next step of her race's evolution - a more beautiful, more powerful creature more capable of destroying the Guardians. She has bred Adam Warlock as her own personal war machine and he's likely to be a major threat (at least until he turns against his creator as he did in the comics).
