Defeating them ain’t easy but it nothing is impossible. We bring you a list of mighty villains that is guaranteed to leave you impressed and can give you a possible clue in taking down your own, personal, real-life nemesis. (Come on, we all have one!)

Thanos

This name is enough to instil fear and give you goosebumps. Thanos is a force to reckon with. You have seen him in Marvel Studio films like ‘The Avengers’ (2012), ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ (2015), and ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. He is a super genius. Believe it or not but if Thanos actually trained his guns on the human race, it would not end well for us.

Strength: Superhuman strength, endurance, intelligence, tolerability, energy manipulation, teleportation, longevity, and telekinesis.

Dormammu

You first saw him in the 2015 ‘Doctor Strange’ movie. Dormammu is undefeatable with his sorcery skills. Worse than a demon, he resides in a completely different alien world outside the laws of Earth. The powerful mystical entity, Dormammu is a very strong opponent on our list!

EGO

Apocalypse

There’s nothing that Apocalypse cannot accomplish. From telekinesis to shapeshifting, this powerful mutant is a force to be reckoned with.
