In the 16 years since the MCU kicked off its grand cinematic experiment in 2008, much has been written about how long it took Marvel Studios to introduce significant diversity into its storytelling lineup. Said discussion has mostly focused on the hero side, and understandably so, given that heroes are, by default, the central figures of most modern comic book movies. Having said that, comic book villains have a history of stealing the show right out from under the protagonists’ feet. They’re colorful, dramatic, and often more gleefully entertaining than the good guys.
