Fantastic Four: 10 Villains Who Would Have Been Better Than Dr Doom

8. The Kree

The Kree are a scientifically advanced alien race with a galaxy-spanning empire. Because they come from a planet with higher gravity, the Kree are also significantly faster, stronger, and more durable than humans. The Kree are fascinating because, despite their physical and technological superiority, they're also genetically stagnant. This potentially means that you have a ruthless, intellectually-driven species that's constantly on the verge of extinction. The Kree value their genetic purity to the extent that reproduction outside of the species is a strict taboo. While the Kree look like an ideal threat to the Fantastic Four, there's just one problem; they've already been featured in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, and are responsible for the creation of both the Inhumans and Captain Marvel, both set for future big-screen adaptations. My solution? Change the name, keep the rest. In fact, the Kree are also known as The Ruul, so Fox won't even have to try that hard to get around the copyright issues.

With a (nearly) useless degree in English literature and a personal trainer qualification he's never used, Freddie spends his times writing things that he hopes will somehow pay the rent. He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
