Madame Hydra

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is undoubtedly the franchise that is most obviously lacking a major female villain. Twelve films in, there haven’t been any major female villains in the movies and there have only been a handful in the spin-off television shows (Lorelei, Jiaying, Agent 33 and Raina, for instance) and it’s about time that changed.

With HYDRA being a prominent feature in the movies, who better to introduce than Madame Hydra AKA Viper?

A fairly unfaithful depiction of the character appeared in The Wolverine, but it would be far more fitting to see her battling the likes of Captain America, The Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. as a high-ranking member of HYDRA in the MCU.

An excellent strategist, tactician and leader, Madame Hydra is also a very capable fighter and marksman. She would be a fantastic addition to the big screen.
