It’s always fun to imagine fantasy battles between your favourite fictional characters. For instance, who would win in a fight between Superman and Thor? What would happen if Buffy the Vampire Slayer fought Blade? And how would a bout between Ryu and Liu Kang go?

Well that made us think – what would happen if live action villains from different movie and television universes went up against the Avengers from the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Which villains would make great opponents for the like of Robert Downey, Jr.’s Iron Man, Chris Evans’ Captain America, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor?

We came up with a number of such villains that we believe it would be great to see the Avengers face. Here are ten live action villains who would make great foes for the MCU’s Avengers…

Wolfram & Hart (Buffyverse)

Wolfram and Hart took an immediate disliking to Angel on his arrival in Los Angeles – all because he was fighting the good fight. With that in mind, if they existed in the same universe as the Avengers, they’d definitely want to stop them going about their heroic activities!

They would represent a completely different kind of threat to anything they’ve faced before. For starters, they’re a law firm – a law firm who may well actually be powerful enough to face off against Tony Stark’s lawyers in court!

Moreover, they have an abundance of evil supernatural beings on their side – and it would be interesting to see how the Avengers coped against demons, vampires and otherworldly beast of the supernatural variety.

You can just imagine the Senior Partners sending a huge army from hell to attack the heroes – and seeing giants, dragons and monsters going up against them (like in the final scenes of the Angel television series when the unleashed such an army on Angel, Spike, Illyria and Gunn) would be awesome.
