There are many bad parents in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe, just as in the real world. What's a simple method to make spectators feel connected to the attractive superpowered creatures on screen? Of course, give them some mental suffering due to poor parenting! How can viewers relate to a millionaire superhero who has virtually unlimited resources? Boom: a tumultuous connection with his father as a youngster.
Peter Quill is a childish jerk who travels the cosmos with other immature jerks? Give him a mother who died of cancer just before he was kidnapped and sent into space. This effect affects even the bad guys. What on Earth would drive Hela to be so terrible in Thor: Ragnarok, hellbent on conquering everything in her path? On the other hand, her father had her imprisoned in Hel for thousands of years. Okay, I see what you're saying. Bring the Kleenex because we'll go through some of the MCU's major characters with significant parental issues.
1. Star-Lord Lost His Mom Due To A Brain Tumor That His All-Powerful Dad Created

As if being kidnapped by aliens and taken from Earth against your will wasn't horrible enough. Young Peter Quill had to see his mother die from complications caused by a brain tumor just before Yondu and the rest of the Ravagers picked him up from small-town Missouri.
The emotional damage left behind by such an event might stifle a person's progress for years, as appeared to be the case for Peter in the first episode of Guardians of the Galaxy. He wasn't much more than a man-child.

Hank Pym in the Marvel Cinematic Universe may not be the absolute jerk he is in the comic books, but he still has plenty of problems. Pym became estranged from his little daughter, Hope van Dyne after his wife seemed to die while preventing a Soviet missile from killing millions of people in the 1980s.
Following his return from the assignment, he not only left her with the nanny for two weeks, but he also promptly sent Hope away to boarding school.
4. Tony Stark And His Dad

Anthony " Tony " Stark grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth as a child, Anthony "Tony" Stark grew up. Tony was born into a family with fortunes in the Fortune 500, so he had access to the best of everything money can buy. Unfortunately, as the adage goes, money cannot buy happiness.
Tony's father's relationship was anything from idyllic, as seen in Iron Man 2 and Captain America: Civil War. Tony, who appeared close to his mother, could never gain his gruff, pull-your-self-up-by-the-bootstraps father's favor. Howard and Maria Stark died before the dad and his son could bury the hatchet.
5. No Word Can Describe The Feeling Of Shang-Chi When He Watched His Mom Died

Shang-Chi had a good upbringing, at least for a time. He has a younger sister and loving parents. Away from the noise and bustle of the outer world, they enjoyed an ideal life. Then his mother was murdered in front of him by some of his father's former business partners, and all hopes for a happy life vanished. In reaction, Shang-father, Chi's Xu Wenwu, went completely insane and resurrected his criminal empire using the power of the Ten Rings.
6. Hela Was Detained Thousands Of Years

As a result, Hela was a ruthless psychopath of the greatest order. There's no way around it. Everybody who aspires to take over the whole Nine Realms by force and slaughter anyone who stands in their path is insane. That being said, she was simply acting in the manner she had been raised.
With his massive army and Hela as his right hand, Odin conquered the Nine Realms years before becoming the beneficent All-Father. And when he said he wanted to put it down and govern in peace, she said she wanted to keep going since that's all she knew!
7. T'Challa Watched His Dad' Death And Failings

T'Challa, unlike many other MCU heroes, had a good relationship with his parents. According to what we know, the Black Panther was reared in Wakanda with nothing but love from his family as he and his sister, Shuri, grew up. T'Challa's paternal baggage didn't show up until Captain America: Civil War, when his father T'Chaka was killed by Baron Zemo in an explosion. The Black Panther's fury threatened to define him after this horrific tragedy set him down a deadly revenge path.
8. Nebula Never Got Thanos's Respect

Pursuing a dismissive father's favor may be a destructive way to live. When your father is a genocidal madman hellbent on annihilating half of all life in the unknown universe, you know you're on the wrong track.
Consider this: Every time Nebula lost one-on-one combat with her adoptive sister, Gamora, Thanos progressively replaced pieces of her body. This procedure was dubbed "upgrading" by him.
9. Gamora Was Adopted By Thanos Who Slaughtered Her Family
Source: Marvel Studio
Thanos used genocide to wipe off half of Gamora's home planet's population. Thanos has been grooming Gamora to be the "deadliest lady in the galaxy" since she was a toddler. Throughout their existence, Thanos pitted Gamora and Nebula against one other in vicious one-on-one battles. And you thought Peter Quill had a problem with his parents?
Gamora tried to murder her adopted father for the first time in years when she encountered him for the first time in Avengers: Infinity War. That alone tells you almost all you need to know about their relationship. Thanos had his way of loving Gamora, but it wasn't all that different from loathing her.
10. Natasha Romanoff And His Family

Natasha Romanoff was never allowed to live a regular life. Her youth was spent either in the Red Room or in suburban Ohio with a family of spies on a mission.
Alexei Shostakov, a Russian Super Soldier who attempted and failed to live up to Steve Rogers' legacy, and Melina Vostokoff, a fellow Black Widow who became a major part of the Red Room's brainwashing operation, were her so-called parents. Yelena Belova, her younger sister, was likewise kidnapped as a youngster and forced into the life of a spy.
11. Kate Bishop Reconciled Her Heroic Wants With Her Criminal Parents

Wilson Fisk owed Derek Bishop, Kate Bishop's father, a large sum. Isn't that the type of man you want to owe money to? Derek died at the Battle of New York when the Avengers confronted Loki's Chitauri horde.
Therefore, none of this mattered in the end. It mattered to Eleanor Bishop, Derek's wife because she was obliged to conduct business with Fisk.
12. The Eternals Wait For Orders From Their Creator For A Really Long Time
Source: Marvel Studio
The Eternals would toil on Earth for the next 500 years or more as mankind evolved around them. Can you picture being a 500-year-old ageless being ordered to wait for orders over and over again? It's no surprise that this "family" of troops has become increasingly fractious.
They had to be completely insane! Arnhem regards them as little more than toys he manufactured for a specific purpose. Why should a Celestial be concerned about his war-waging automatons' feelings?
13. Ultron Tried To Wipe Out The World To Spite His Maker
Source: Marvel Studio
What can be said about Ultron? This artificial intelligence, created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner and spoken by James Spader, proved to be one of the most dangerous adversaries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's brief history. After all, he came dangerously near to eradicating human life from the planet. That type of menace can't be taken lightly, and he has to be one of the most lethal villains in the MCU thus far.
14. Vision Burst His Maker Hours After Being Created

Isn't it true that Vision had an interesting first few hours of life? He first wakes up in a room full of irritable Avengers. Then, during the Battle of Sokovia, he aids his new companions. Finally, he blasts Ultron, the guy responsible for his creation, into oblivion. The MCU's Vision may not be as perplexing as the Vision of the comic books, but his early years were jam-packed with crucial occurrences.
15. Marc Spector Made An Alternate Identity To Response To His Mother's Grief-Fueled Fury

Wendy's fury rises over time, and her outbursts become violent. This appears to be the catalyst for Marc's first alter, Steven. Steven is the identity who had an idyllic upbringing with a kind mother, whereas Marc is the one who receives the belt and probably worse from Wendy's grip. Marc runs away from home as soon as he is old enough, owing to this incident and his father's unwillingness to stop her. His journey away from home finishes with him bleeding out and eager to dedicate himself totally to Khonshu.
