Villains are essential to every story. Without them we wouldn't know how strong a hero is; we wouldn't realize the risks and the conflicts surrounding society, and, most importantly, we wouldn't have someone to despise. How well do you know Marvel's villains? Take our quiz to find out!
The "Good vs. Evil" debate has been going on ever since human beings became self-aware. And as Shakespeare taught us, the bad ones, the villains, aren't always the monsters. Sometimes they are random people who appear to be "kind" on the surface. Sometimes they are kings or gods. And sometimes they are our friends.
The same motives appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, in the MCU, villains are much more complex characters. They aren't entirely bad and they weren't born evil. In most cases, they become villains because of society.
Whatever the case may be, superheroes cannot exist without villains just like good cannot exist without evil. Besides, being a villain is sometimes much more interesting than being a hero. Just kidding! Take our quiz for some fun and wicked time!
