Here’s the MCU’s Phase 4 villains ranked thus far. With Phase Four of the MCU coming to an end with the next two upcoming propertiesShe-HulkandBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever,now is just as good a time as any to go back through and rank the villains thus far. For the sake of clarity, this list won’t include any of the villains of theWhat If…?show though.
12The Clandestines
The first entry on the list of the MCU’s Phase 4 villains, the short-lived villains of theMs. Marvelshow, they were introduced in episode three, and dispatched by episode five, without any real threat or worry to the cast of the show.
11General Dreykov & Taskmaster
The less said about this adaptation of Taskmaster the better.
10Arishem/Kro
The Eternalswasn’t met with much fanfare, and although it was beautiful to look at, the story, the characters, and certainly the villains were found lacking. Many of you might even have to Google exactly who Kro is, he’s that forgettable.
9Karli Morgenthau
The villain with a relatable and understandable viewpoint is becoming somewhat of a staple in the MCU, and whilst many understood Morgenthau’s motivations, her lack of character development throughoutThe Falcon and the Winter Soldierwon’t make her one remembered for long.
8Agatha Harkness
The somewhat villain of theWandavisionshow, Agatha was not only a lot of fun but also quite a menacing prospect against the backdrop of a deteriorating Wanda, whom herself was a villain to the people of Westview.

7Arthur Harrow
The glass-walking, Khonshu-hating character managed to give Marc Spector/Steven Grant a run for their money inMoon Knight,and technically succeeded with his mission, if it weren’t for a timely intervention from Jake Lockley.
A short stint in theHawkeyeshow had Wilson Fisk finally showing off his power and schemes in the MCU, to much wider effect than originally thought.
5Wanda Maximoff
Going full Scarlet Witch for a movie in search of reuniting with her lost children from her show, Wanda ends up murdering civilians, heroes, and more inDoctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness.
4Green Goblin/Sandman/Electro/Doc Ock/The Lizard
Most of this placement in the list is thanks to the Green Goblin, as in the multiversal hoppingSpider-Man: No Way Home, every time the Green Goblin is on the screen, you can’t help but want to see more and more.
3Gorr the God Butcher
The most recent entry into Phase 4, Gorr spends far too much ofThor: Love and Thunderdoing his worst deeds off-screen, but whenever we do get to see him, he’s nothing but terrifying and another villain that technically succeeded, if not for his own change of heart at the end.

2The Mandarin
One of the better films in Phase 4,Shang-Chi: Legend of the Ten Ringsfinally introduced a proper version of The Mandarin, between his sorrow for his lost wife, and his fractured relationship with his children, The Mandarin is one of the most well-rounded and enjoyable villains of the entire MCU, not just Phase 4.
1Kang/He Who Remains
Number one in the MCU’s Phase 4 villains, appearing in one episode of theLokishow, his mark left on the MCU as a whole cannot be downplayed. Starting off the current predicaments the MCU currently finds itself in, it’s hard to argue against He Who Remains being the best so far.
There you have it, the MCU’s Phase 4 villains ranked, who would have been your number one?
