Every MCU Dad - Ranked From Worst To Best

Killed his son’s mother with cancer and still isn’t bottom? The MCU has got some seriously messed up dads.

Ego is just a terrible father. He has no interest in raising Peter at all, and is far too selfish to ever step up to the plate with the difficult things being a father brings. Given that his name is Ego, you’d probably expect some selfishness there, but that’s not excluding him from the usual responsibility.

In fact, he sees children as zero sum. Have children, gain power. Get rid of children, repeat. There’s nothing fatherly about it; it’s pure biology, driven at making himself better and better, stronger and stronger, whatever the cost.

That he thought he was doing the right thing is such a feeble excuse when he so obviously wasn’t. Fathers higher up the list can justify this view; Ego cannot.

It’s worth noting he doubles up as a father to Mantis, and does at least seem to get along with her without resorting to murder. He does, however, keep her as a slave, which is hardly father of the year material.
