Batroc

Batroc – known as Batroc the Leaper in the comic books – appeared in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. That was a great movie, but Batroc added nothing to it at all – thanks largely to his extremely minor appearance.

He was completely unrecognisable from the comic books – which is probably a good thing, in this case – but it also rendered him completely unmemorable and boring. He could have been any random goon, to be quite frank.

Played by mixed martial artist Georges St-Pierre, he did perform some fairly cool stunts during his brief fight with Captain America, but “brief” is definitely the key word and he was defeated in short order by the titular hero.

Now for the only character from an Marvel Cinematic Universe television show on this list.

Graviton

The only Marvel Cinematic Universe television character to make this list (on the whole they’ve been great on the small screen) is Franklin Hall – the character known as Graviton on the comic books – although he wasn’t actually a villain in Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

That being said, he was a complete waste of a potential villain and, therefore, he makes this list. Graviton is superb in the comic books – a villainous character who can manipulate the very gravity around himself and others – and to waste him like that in the MCU was a crime (he was a decent man and a former S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist known for his work on the element known as Gravitonium).

Granted, there is a possibility that he will return – he was dropped into a mass of Gravitonium and his body was seen moving around inside it – but it’s probably been too long for the show to do anything worthwhile with him now.

Our next entry sees us discussing a popular villain’s father.
