MCU: Every Infinity Saga Villain RANKED

As the first villain in the first film, this guy already deserves VIP status. What keeps him up on the list is the methods in which he operates.

From the moment we lay eyes on his egg-shaped head, we don't trust him. And watching him sneakily dismantle Tony's control over his own company makes us trust him less and less until his true motivations are revealed.

Obadiah Stane is a great introduction to the villains to come in the MCU; Jeff Bridges sells the hell out of a greedy, desperate and sociopathic businessman who is just trying to acquire as much control as he can carry.

Had he done nothing and just let Tony Stark live his life as a playboy, Obadiah would have still sat on the riches of Stark Enterprises. But he's a coward and a cheat, and while he isn't as dangerous as Killmonger or Ego, he certainly displays their level of cruelty. Given that at the time Tony's biggest dangers were threats to his wealth, he's not a far cry away from being a real-world baddie.
