The Marvel Cinematic Universe is chock-full of impressive villains. The first ones that come to mind are the mental threats that can get under a hero’s skin with just a few words, such as Helmut Zemo, who successfully tears the Avengers apart in Captain America: Civil War. Killmonger also does plenty of damage despite only having a couple of fight scenes, changing Wakanda forever by destroying the Heart-Shaped Herbs. However, there’s only one villain that remains a sore subject for every MCU resident: Thanos. The Mad Titan wipes out half of existence in Avengers: Infinity War, and everyone remains gone for five years. No other bad guy has had that kind of impact, but one that just got introduced certainly has the potential to.

The final episode of reveals the mastermind behind The Hood, Mephisto. The villain offers Parker Robbins more money than he knows what to do with in exchange for his soul and turns his sights on Riri Williams at the end of the episode. She takes his deal, and it becomes clear that Mephisto is every bit as powerful as Thanos and doesn’t need the Infinity Stones to achieve his goals.
