Any villains you want to see put on hiatus?

[DanMad1977]

Norman Osborn, i cannot see him anymore. He should have stayed dead anyway.

Thanos, like everyone else here...

Magneto

[Nomads1]

I don't think the Wrecking Crew shows up as much as they did during the 90's. Back then, a month didn't go by in which they didn't show up, to soundly trash a hero, or a super-hero team, or be soundly trashed by them. But yeah, I agree. Marvel needs another set of got to bad guys.

Peace

On the other hand, it would be intresting to see a MCU version of the Wrecking Crew giving Thor, or some other Avenger, a little bit of trouble.

Kang was the first to come to mind. Other than a few here and there, I'm not sure if I've thoroughly enjoyed a Kang story since the Busiek Avengers days. I would even be okay if they did the same kind of stories with Zarkko, I'm THAT done with Kang.

They've gone back and forth on how villainous the High Evolutionary is so many times that I'm kinda sick of seeing him, too.

Also, while less ubiquitous, Shadow King gets less and less effective with each use.

I prefer Thanos when he's off doing his own thing as opposed to being the big bad.

Apart from this, I pretty much echo the same sentiments of everyone else that has posted

[Angrel-San]

Ultron and Magneto.

I like the current Ultron Pym but Ultron has been exhausted completely.

Same with Magneto.

[KC]

Tarantula. He was brought back in Dead No More but I hope that is not followed up on for a while (or preferably forever).

[Michael Watkins]

I'm up to my neck in Venom

[pageturner]

Agree about Thanos and Wrecking Crew

Also Norman Osborn could take a seat for a while.

If i never see the vulture again I am ok with that.

[JasonEsta]

Ultron and Magneto.

I like the current Ultron Pym but Ultron has been exhausted completely.

Same with Magneto.

One is a villain and one isn't. Captain America and Iron Man wouldn't have worked with him if he was still seen in a villain's light. Carol talked tough recently but didn't do anything either.

Doc Ock is the big one for me. He has been overused for the past 8 years and it has got to the point now that I want to tear any comic he appears in to pieces, sticky tape it back together, and then tear it to pieces again. So I could go a few years without him around.

Thanos needs a rest and I hope we get in once Avengers 3 and 4 are done.

Loki needs to go away. Thor has a multitude of Villain's. Yet you'd think the only one he has is Loki. The character has worn his welcome out in the movies as well (Ragnarok reduced him to a gag character.) Similar deal with Magneto in the X-books (again, like Loki and Venom, he is more of an anti-hero these days.)

Haven't been too enamoured with Ultron recently. The last time I enjoyed the character was when Busiek was writing The Avengers. Kang as well.

Know this is a Marvel thread, but I am sick to death of the Joker over in Batman. Like Dan Slott with Doc Ock, Scott Snyder has an unhealthy fascination with him that is bordering on a fetish. When he was given All Star he said he was finally able to tell stories with villains he never had the time to write in Batman. Something he COULD have done if he hadn't done Joker related stories every second arc.

[Tony Stark]

The Hood. He's ok, but Bendis has used him to an annoying degree.

[DurararaFTW]

Magneto and Venom.

[Reviresco]

I don't want him gone, but I definitely think Marvel could go a couple years without Thanos popping up.

I agree 100%.

Kang seems to reaching over saturation, imo.

[Kurolegacy]

Tarantula. He was brought back in Dead No More but I hope that is not followed up on for a while (or preferably forever).

Didn't he appear in the recent Iron Fist arc talking trash about Creed having worked with the heroes?

But to answer the question, definitely Hood. He really isn't anything interesting enough to warrant just how overused he became in Bendis' books. And not a villain but an organization but no Hydra for a while as even before Secret Empire, we've been seeing them way too much over the different Marvel mediums.

[Zero Hunter]

Thanos, Doctor Doom, Ultron, Loki, and Kang. Modern writers miss the whole point with characters like these. They were cool because when they showed up you knew something big was going to happen. Now it is like "oh look it's Thanos again ....... meh who cares".
