14 Cruelest Moments Without Killing In Marvel Movies So Far

Elise Feyrer

The most terrible MCU villains emit such a nasty vibe that they don't even need to kill to show how twisted and horrible they are. Sure, they all kill a lot, but the point is that their wicked nature is there in every area of their existence. They'll act in ways that a normal person would not, whether they're interacting with an underling, a business partner, or a hero. They simply can't turn it off for the great majority of these baddies.
There are certain fates worse than death, as the cliche goes, and these MCU villains seem hellbent on learning them all. There appears to be no degree to which an MCU villain will not sink in order to obtain what they want, whether it's tearing up relationships, disclosing dark secrets, or just tormenting their foe.
