MCU Superheroes have been doing what a hero is supposed to do as they fight against evils and villains to save the world and the universe. Most of their works are to give the universe a peaceful life, whether it is a general or personal decision. But there are several times that MCU superheroes act unconsciously like a baddie. Even though it may not be their intention, it still gave rise to some drawbacks and criticism about their acts.
As a result, it left the harmful and detrimental consequences as baddies did them. For instance, the time when Iron Man tried to kill The Winter Soldier despite knowing he was brainwashed or Yelena Belova buried a prison full of people in an avalanche. Below are the 14 times MCU superheroes are assumed as baddies.

Thor, despite his age of 1,500 years, exhibits the demeanor of a brash young lad at his first appearance. He decides to travel to Jotunheim to exterminate the Frost Giants, feeling entitled as the heir to the kingdom.

The locals are depicted yearning to be free of the curse, but Scarlet Witch is too content with her fictitious existence to do so. Outside forces eventually compel her to break the bind. Scarlet Witch would have kept the hex on permanently and imprisoned the captives as hostages if others hadn't interfered.
And in the latest
Marvel movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, she has selfishly used the Darkhold to do the cruelest thing. It is pretty hard for us to spoil, you better enjoy the movie!!!!

Until Thor: Ragnarok establishes that the Hulk is a completely distinct person, the Hulk is thought to be Bruce Banner's unrestrained wrath. The Avengers are aware of this and have taken advantage of the Hulk's abilities on several occasions, yet they are entirely uncaring of his sentiments. Hulk confesses that he wants to live on his own and not be used as a tool, which goes unnoticed by the others because he's constantly utilized to combat foes, only to be transformed into Banner after his usefulness has expired.
4. Star-Lord Assaulted Thanos

The heroes only need a few more seconds to rip Thanos' Gauntlet from his grip and save the cosmos.
Star-Lord, on the other hand, is unconcerned about the implications and strikes Thanos, causing Mantis to lose her grip and Thanos to recover consciousness. Thanos then quits holding back and begins to defeat every single hero who stands in his way. Thanos eventually completes the Snap and wipes off half of all existence, but only because Star-Lord was selfish at the time Thanos was defeated.
5. Tony Created Ultron Behind The Avengers' Back

Despite Bruce Banner's warnings and the fact that he has no understanding of how to use the scepter's power, Tony attempts to construct Ultron. He succeeds, only for Ultron to reveal himself as a megalomaniacal AI who believes humans are to blame for Earth's problems and attempts to wipe out the entire world. Tony doesn't even seem to regret his acts throughout the film, claiming that he was justified in doing so. However, in Captain America: Civil War, he concedes that Ultron was his responsibility, as he understands that the AI's annihilation was caused by his actions.
6. Thor Tried To Ditch Bruce On Sakaar
