Kurse
Of the two main villains in 2013’s Thor: The Dark World, Kurse – the secondary villain - was not only the most threatening, he was also the most visually impressive. Unlike his boss Malekith, Kurse actually looked pretty great. It’s just a shame that his imposing appearance was the best thing about him.
Portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Kurse had the physical might to overpower Thor – and he looked great doing it (as good as, if not better than, the character looks in the comics), but he was otherwise wasted.
There was little by way of character development, he had no discernible personality (he didn’t even speak as Kurse) and, despite his power, his role was essentially that of a flunky and he was killed off very quickly.
We’ll now move on to our first titular movie character – one who is neither Marvel nor DC.
