Villains That Surprisingly Turned Out To Be Heroes In The Marvel Universe!

We often hear the stories of real-life bad guys turning good (at least for a little while). Well, these also happened in the Marvel Universe and you may be surprised that your favorite Marvel character was once a bad guy!
First appearing as villains, some Marvel characters eventually realized the truth, developed their values, joined the good side, and became a superhero! These characters have such formidable power that it would be a waste of talent if they stayed on the evil side permanently.
Check out 5 superheroes that used to be antagonists below!

#1 Deadpool

Deadpool's first appearance in the Marvel Comic was as an assassin assigned to attack the teen superheroes in The New Mutants #98.

#2 Black Widow

Making her first appearance in Tales of suspense #52, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow was initially a KGGB agent and Iron Man's villain. She later joined S.H.I.E.L.D and became part of the Avengers.

#3 Hawkeye

Before becoming the main character in the Disney+ show Hawkeye, this superhero actually debuted as the villain in Tales of suspense #57 and then was inspired by Iron Man to go to the good side.
