It took ten years for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it finally got the villain it
deserved, a match for not only the earth but the universe’s mightiest heroes.
The mad titan first made his appearance in the very first Avengers movie, and the world
knew then and there that an apocalypse is near.
When he finally showed up in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, he created chaos all across
the cosmos.
Compared to other super-villains who just want to watch the world burn, Thanos has a
motive behind all this destruction.
To create a better world!
But wiping down half the universe’s population is unacceptable, no matter how noble the reason
behind it is.
With all six infinity stones in his possession, it seems like no one can ever defeat Thanos.
He even put half the superheroes to rest.
However, all evil must come to an end sometime.
With the end of the fourth Avengers movie, Marvel will have to find a new foe for the
Avengers, but the slot will not be easy to fill.
Thanos has set the bar pretty high.
So, today we present you five supervillains who can replace Thanos and five who can’t.
But, before we get all nerdy, take some time to subscribe to our channel and hit the bell
icon to be a part of our notification squad.
Stay until the end for the quiz.
Doctor Doom
He is a great supervillain in the comics.
Doctor Doom is a fantastic four enemy.
He may have a suit of armor and magical abilities, but he is not a strong enough foe for the MCU heroes.
The Beyonder
The Beyonder possess god-like bender abilities.
He can manipulate reality.
He also has psionic abilities that allow him to scan the minds of the entire universe,
neutralize psychic probes from telepaths, erase memories of the universe about himself
and many more abilities.
He possesses superhuman powers, can will his body to repair itself, can teleport, fly,
teleport others and choose physical resistances.
He has limitless strength and no weakness.
The Beyonder would be a worthy Thanos replacement.
In some way, he has Thanos’ characteristics.
Dark Phoenix
Dark Phoenix certifies the big bad villain,
but it’s highly unlikely that she replaces Thanos.
She is currently the antagonist of the 2019 X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
She will have been defeated, most probably, by the X-men and won’t pose any threat for
the MCU heroes.
Galactus
Galactus is the most feared entity in the
Cosmos.
He is referred to as the “Devourer of Worlds.”
He has omnipotent powers and has imbued a number of entities with his cosmic power.
He sustains himself with the energy from the earth’s core and other universal sources.
He makes a good candidate for the MCU’s next villain.
The comics have set a precedent for this with Galactus being confronted by Doctor Strange
and The Avengers.
The MCU heroes would not allow the Devourer of Worlds to destroy the world, would they?
But, he can try.
Prince Namor
Namor may be a gifted warrior and military
leader, but he is not as powerful as Thanos.
He cannot also withstand the threat posed by the MCU heroes when working together.
Apocalypse
Apocalypse is the first mutant.
He is a monstrous tyrant who has been a long time X-men enemy.
He believes that only the strongest should survive.
His powers have increased over centuries.
He can control molecular structure, is immortal, possesses superhuman strength, superhuman
durability superhuman speed, and can teleport himself and others.
Helmut Zemo
He is Captain America’s antagonist in Captain
America: Civil War.
He is not a good match for the Avengers.
Helmut Zemo is an evil mastermind and did successfully cause a rift between the Avengers,
but there is a limit to his capabilities on his own.
He is a good soldier but pitted against the Hulk or Thor he stands no chance.
Onslaught
Onslaught was created from the consciousness
of Professor Charles Xavier and Magneto, two very powerful mutants.
He possesses all the powers of this two plus those of Franklin Richards and Nate Grey.
This psychic offspring would make a great villain.
In fact, in the comics, his powers were too great for the X-Men, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four.
Ronan the Accuser
He is ambitious especially when supercharged
with a cosmic power source, but the likelihood of him fighting the entire MCU is hard to
imagine.
Ronan the Accuser lost in Guardians of the Galaxy, and this almost rules out any further
appearances.
There is always a way to come back through an infinity stone, but we do not see him as
a good Thanos replacement.
Dormammu
Dormammu is the Cosmic Conqueror and destroyer
of worlds.
He has infinite power and is on a quest to invade all universes and bring them to his
Dark Dimension.
He is as much a threat as Thanos is.
He is a Doctor Strange villain and has faced off with the Avengers on several occasions.
He may decide to follow Doctor Strange to the MCU.
Dormammu operates in the shadows, manipulates lesser beings and has mystical powers that
are much greater than Thanos’.
If he decided to unleash his might on MCU, then all MCU heroes would be needed.
Dormammu’s power outmatches the Avengers and would dismantle them if he utilizes artifacts
like Thanos is doing with the Infinity Stones.
