Marvel: Strongest Comic Villains Of All Time, Ranked
The most powerful Marvel villain is my favorite villain and one of my favorite all-around characters... Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet. But I like the comic book iteration way more than the MCU version. The MCU Thanos was made out to have some sort of Messiah complex with a fixation on balancing the universe, and just a kind of dumb intent that doesn't make much sense. I don't know what they were trying for, maybe make him a tragic figure? So he'd be... IDK... Relateable? But instead, it made him appear weak and foolish. Whereas comic book Thanos was just plain EVIL. A megalomaniacal nihilist who was in love with the very personification of Death. Now THAT'S a villain! His lack of faith in himself was the only thing that ultimately stopped him, and while I didn't care for this plot twist, as it's a huge flaw and weakness of character, I realize that he couldn't be allowed to win and become God himself, so they had to come up with something, and I can't think of another way, myself. So, O.K.
