15 Best TV Villains In The Marvel Cinematic Universe
14. Madame Gao
Appeared In: Daredevil
Like Nobu, the first season of Daredevil spent a healthy chunk of time building up the mystery around Madame Gao. Unlike Nobu, though, Gao escaped the season relatively unscathed, returning to her just-as-mysterious homeland.
Willing to kill Vanessa to get Fisk's mind back in the game, Gao demonstrated her cunning. When Matt confronted her in her drug warehouse, she also exhibited unbelievable strength, overpowering the vigilante with a single punch that bought her time to flee.
Considering the fact that many quickly made the connection between Gao and comic book villain Steel Serpent, it's not a matter of if but when she returns down the line, likely in Iron Fist's own series. As ruthless as she's been shown to be so far, it feels as though we've only been given a glimpse at what's in store for Madame Gao, making her a villain whose return is worth keeping our eyes out for.
