18 Marvel Villains Who Actually Won

With the amount of Marvel stories out there, whether it be comic books, video games, tv shows, or movies, there are quite a few times when the villain ends up on top. This doesn’t necessarily mean they didn’t end up losing to the various heroes of Marvel, but there were times when the bad guy wins a battle or got what he or she wanted. It also means that maybe by actually “winning” against the protagonist of the story, they became a better individual or achieved their goal in a more morally grounded way.
Of course, there are some major villains, like Kang and Thanos, that reached the top and caused major damage to our beloved heroes and the world but don’t forget about the villains who have a soft spot. Sometimes it’s nice to see the villain win just to shake things up a little. Some heroes, like Captain America, can do this all day and won’t back down after a huge defeat. Unfortunately for Cap, some defeats have a lasting impact and can’t be fixed in the world of Marvel. The good guys can't always have that perfect happy ending.
This video obviously doesn't cover every single villain that won in Marvel lore, so if you think of any example feel free to comment down below!

Which villain do you think should make a comeback in phase 5 or 6?

[@epicplayz3898]

Mysterio

[@Jillisugly]

honestly I want Ultron. He was a good villian

[@georgebilly9112]

@@Jillisugly I agree

[@krisiswallace5389]

Redskull is kind of a reach don't you think? He's dead and Hydra is "presumably" destroyed. On earth, I think he's a wanted criminal if not in the raft prison already

[@karlsparre9147]

Killmonger and Loki (Loki will return but i just WANT to see it)

[@netherfreakultima4498]

Mysterio...what a joke...

[@ThisisHuzaifa]

Gorr actually was so close to victory. He chose NOT TO WIN himself

[@netherfreakultima4498]

If Venom and Mysterio met, you can bet Venom would rip Beck apart

[@medafan53]

Red Skull's position isn't a 'win' it's a curse, he outright states "I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess myself" that is in now way a victory by any stretch of the imagination

[@OK-yy6qz]

I wouldn't say Mysterio is brilliant. What was his end goal? Trick people into thinking you're a superhero then what? What would happen when as a Superhero he would have to start facing actual Threats

[@medafan53]

100% Mysterio's plan would've blown up in his face the second an actual villain he wasn't projecting showed up to challenge him.

[@bhootiyagaming3585]

Green Goblin in No Way Home also technically won..... His main aim was to fix Peter(or destroy).... Break him emotionally and mentally...He may have gone from his universe but he did ruined peters life forever

[@klloydplata4098]

I really loved and liked MCU's Marvel Studios Avengers: Infinity War sequel film because how the storytelling is jaw-dropping hypnotic epic and even rewatchable. Thanos' Snap is the Most scariest and deadliest win & way to surprise me (big Big Marvel superfan) as well as the audiences.

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do a video about what would happen if Sin the daughter of Red Skull started a New Hydra organization in the MCU and that too in Captain America New World Order?

[@klloydplata4098]

William Baker (other name is Flint Marko) aka Sandman or The Sandman needs a Marvel solo comicbook series because readers eager to know what his origin storytelling really happened.

[@FootBalledits30000]

I love your videos

[@cbr]

Thanks for the support ❤️

[@jaygooese4242]

Eli Quinton Martinez: I guess most heroes can't beat unbeatable villains sometimes

[@cjboadi]

why would kang being killed be a win he spent thousands of years keeping the multiverse in line why would he want sylvie to mess it up

[@daltonhill9997]

He was tired he was a lot older then he looked he said so he wanted to switch shit up a bit brah

[@netherfreakultima4498]

7:38 Don't apologise, I like this film ^^

[@klloydplata4098]

Do you think Quentin Beck aka Mysterio is really dead? There is some illusion tricks up on his sleeves.

[@trexadvent4726]

Which one of these villains do you think is the best as well as the most powerful and would win against each other?

[@bradonbyrd8061]

Epic

[@Quisee]

Gorr technically won....terrible as the movie was he won

[@dariuschisholm7317]

He wasn't a villain he was bullied by gods

[@jaygooese4242]

Unknow person: You lose I win

[@buildaggedonarmanaziie4462]

Kingpin is one of my favorites. I feel like it would be better if Kingpin was more of a world wide villain, like instead of just being limited to New York, he could have more subjects and minions and organizations, in other places like Spain, China, India, Russia, Asia, Indonesia, Korea, Hawaii, Australia, parts of the Bahamas, Africa, and so on, so he has more influence and reach throughout the world, and he is like royalty whenever he comes to those places, like he is the crime boss, of the crime bosses, like he is that big, he is just the man that you do not cross.

[@hassantauheed4979]

Red skull is not the villain who won as he got space powers sure but he wasn't in possession of infinity stone a person's love for its possession

[@trexadvent4726]

Except for Killmonger, what would happen if these Villains never won?

[@FootBalledits30000]

I love you

[@FootBalledits30000]

Hey

[@primusfan87]

15:08 Out of all the Shit-show that was she-hulk, this was probably the best plot, other then having Daredevil near the end

[@fuckkhalo_]

Early Gang

[@trexadvent4726]

Is Mysterio winning the worst since he kick started everything that happened in Spider-Man No Way Home that made Peter Parker alone, forgotten and lose everything including everything he achieved before becoming Spider-Man? It's a good thing Tony Stark is gone cause it would be heartbreaking to see his mentor forget him like his best friends and Happy Hogan did. WHAT IS THE POINT IN SPIDER-MAN BEING IN THE MCU IF THE HEROES HE BONDED WITH DURING CIVIL WAR, INFINITY WAR AND ENDGAME FORGET HIM AND HILARIOUS MOMENTS WITH HIM?!?! Marvel should kill him off early just like they did with T'Challa/Black Panther. What would have happened if Tony Stark Ironman recruited Riri_Williams Ironheart during Captain America Civil War instead of Spider-Man? Would this have been a lot better along with Tom Holland never making his MCU debut as Spider-Man cause I don't even know what to think of him after all the messed up things that happened in Spider-Man No Way Home which I blame Sony for?
