15 Marvel Comic Supervillains That You Never Knew Before
There is no more well-stocked rogues' gallery in all of fiction than Marvel Comics' pool of supervillains amassed during the previous half-century. The Green Goblin, Thanos, Magneto, Mystique, Red Skull, Baron Zemo - there are more famous and iconic villains to pick from than there are heroes to fight them. While everyone is familiar with and loves the villains from their childhood, there is a slew of new Marvel Comics villains that have created a name for themselves in the last decade or so.
Comic book superheroes, by their very nature, require fresh adversaries to fight on a regular basis. So, while the big-name historical adversaries have already committed plenty of evil, there's always space for additional villains and villainy.
The cosmic space station Knowhere was born from the beheaded Celestial skull. The sword, on the other hand, is today known as the universe's first symbiote. When he lost the sword, Gorr the God Butcher, one of Thor's deadliest opponents, used it as a source of strength.
But, of course, there was the Sixth Cosmos, a version of the Multiverse that came to a horrible end, with only one person surviving. Galan was the name of the creature, but he'd be known as Galactus in the Seventh Cosmos.
The One-Above-All, the most renowned of the aforementioned monotheistic gods, is best understood as the dark, evil half of the One-Below-All. The One Below All, operating at the lowest level of reality, has mostly affected events on Earth through his "Green Doors" and the cosmic energy that his "Below-Place" emits: gamma radiation.
The comic book Black Order, unlike its film counterparts, is not Thanos' progeny. Instead, the Mad Titan enlisted the most deadly beings he came across on his journey of conquest across the cosmos, offering them the option of serving as generals or dying horribly. At least five of them made the decision to follow him.
Strange scammed his way out of paying the magical toll by constructing a creature that dwelt in his cellar and absorbed all of the agony and suffering that were supposed to be side effects of the spells he cast. With the passage of time, this monster grew self-aware and began referring to itself as "Mister Misery."
Despite their first appearances, he was not the same Steve Rogers that Marvel fans were familiar with. The Star-Spangled Avenger had been defeated by Kobik, a sentient Cosmic Cube who had fallen under the sway of the Red Skull.
When the Skull recommended that Kobik modify reality to make it appear as if Rogers had always been a Hydra covert agent, she gladly agreed. As a result, Rogers-616 was replaced with Rogers 61311, and Earth's Mightiest Heroes were completely unaware.
They quickly expanded into other timelines and universes. The Builders, however, lost their path sometimes along the route.
Then, with a spate of Krakoan-grown wonder drugs and a slew of generosity, they purchased international reputation and prestige, and mutants were suddenly on top of the world.
Though Warren was cured of the disease before he could wipe out all human life on Earth, Kang the Conqueror took the twins and nurtured them outside of time.
Dario was once a wealthy Greek child whose parents were killed by pirates. He fled into a labyrinthine cave, where he prayed to a bull statue and was granted the ability to morph into a massive minotaur. Agger then kidnapped and tortured the pirates before setting out on a quest to amass as much riches and power as he could.
As a result, when he and Daredevil met and battled it out, Daredevil felt he was facing a carbon copy of himself. When he tried to grab a baseball bat without making a sound, Ikari urged him to "try the red one." Daredevil knew Ikari wasn't blind at that time, and he started to lose the fight horribly.
Apocalypse explained that he split Okarra in two thousands of years ago to stop a demonic invasion, banishing the Arakko half and its millions of mutant people - including Apocalypse's own family - to the dark world of Amenth. The Arakko mutants were able to make touch with Krakoa as he became stronger, and they made it obvious that they wanted Krakoa for themselves.
