MCU Villain Battle Royale: Who Would Come Out On Top?
11. Round One – Aldrich Killian Vs. Wenwu
From the gods of the universe back to the more grounded(ish) human villains of Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Not only are they both human, Aldrich Killian tried to appropriate the Ten Rings from Wenwu and use them to his own gains.
The two never faced off in the MCU, though Wenwu did reference Killian in Shang-Chi, and no doubt he would have liked to have gotten his hands on the usurper of his empire. Even if just to ask why name himself after a chicken dish, but also for an ass kicking.
This wouldn’t be that straight forward thanks to Killian’s Extremis experiments. If Wenwu caused a wound or even chopped an arm off, Killian could grow it back and respond by breathing fire his opponent’s way. It would be the Ten Rings themselves however, that would decide this fight.
Shang-Chi showed Wenwu destroy an entire army with his ancient artefacts, and so when it comes down to it, he would be able to kill a man who was himself defeated by Pepper Potts. No disrespect to Pepper, but the Ten Rings have simply been shown to be far more powerful than either her, or the Extremis programme.
Winner: Wenwu
