Every MCU Villain Plot Ranked From Worst To Best

The black sheep of the MCU family was largely ignored by the wider MCU aside from Bruce Banner, until Thaddeus Ross reappeared eight years later in Civil War. The then General Ross acted as one of the antagonists in The Incredible Hulk, with a borderline unhealthy obsession with catching Banner.

For this, you really can't blame Ross, after Banner hulked out and nearly killed his daughter. Since Bruce was such a threat, and technically on the run from the law, Ross was only doing his job in trying to apprehend him. It was when he played god with Emil Blonsky that he crossed the line.

With the Abomination, Ross became part of the problem, creating another version the very thing he was trying to destroy. One the one hand, this plot offered a father that would do anything to protect his daughter, but it also reduced the ultimate villain, Blonsky, to a carbon copy of the hero. Something that happens far too often in the MCU.

Seemingly General Ross wasn't punished for his experiments on Blonsky, rising up to the rank of Secretary of State in the coming years, which just raises further questions.
