The MCU has assist produce some of the most beloved cinematic character reference of all time . While Iron Man and Captain America have been icons for years , these picture have introduced them to fresh fans and their popularity has grown exponentially . But , as the much larger and relatively discrepant Phase Four has shown , not every MCU project is beloved by all , and not all of the characters are as well - liked as the main heroes .

Some of the supporting characters in this macrocosm can slip the show while others have only been an annoyance . Whether it ’s the way the role were write or the bad things they ’ve done , they do n’t get the same love from the fans as the large heroes do . Here are the most hat patronage characters in the MCU .

Hayward

When a political science official is bring in in the MCU , fan can passably much expect to detest them right away . However , SWORD Director Hayward ab initio did n’t seem like such a forged guy cable as he shared a bond with Monica Rambeau .

But as the situation in Westview inWandaVisiongrew , Hayward revealed himself to be an opportunistic saccade who was uncoerced to pop for keep his own deal under wraps . Attempting to assassinate Wanda was bad enough , but seeing him try out to shoot her children really solidified him as a scumbag .

Malekith

The scoundrel in these types of stories are plainly meant to inspire some hate , but villain like Killmonger and Thanos were voiceless to dislike in some means . Malekith , on the other mitt , is hated plainly because he issuch a dissatisfactory MCU baddie .

The leader of the Dark Elves inThor : The Dark Worldfeels like he has no personality or interesting need . He simply survive to be evil , pop up in a few scenes before being forget entirely by lover .

Sprite

There were a set of raw heroes infix into the MCU inEternals , but few seemed to leave behind a lasting impact on rooter . Sprite , however , is remembered just for being such an unlikable fellow member of the team .

Though she is one C quondam , she appear as a young child and seems to have inherited the personality of a whiny shaver . To make her even more off - putt , she decides to bring together Ikaris in rat the others , even poke Sersi in the back .

Agent Deever

Despite Damage Control being create by Tony Stark , the government department has apace become a rather villainous organisation in the MCU . This is really cemented inMs . Marvelwith Agent Deever locomote off the rails in her attempts to locate the mysterious super - powered person .

Her natural action are quite despicable as she raids mosques and chivy the community of interests in hunt of Kamala Kahn . However , she is also frustrative because her behavior seems wholly erratic , ignoring orders from her superiors and staging dangerous operations for no reason only to be predictably raise without much of a combat . It makes her into a rather lame opponent .

Zeus

While the entry of Hercules has a sight of fans charge , Zeus return theGreek gods in the MCUa regretful name with his character inThor : Love and Thunder . A rather accurate depiction based on mythology , Zeus is a immortal who is more interested in imbibition and bacchanalia than helping anyone .

His dismissal of Thor ’s warnings about Gorr the God Butcher makes him seem very incompetent and cowardly . But when he nearly killed Thor ’s dear booster Korg , Zeus really crossed a line .

Harley Keener

Long before audience were charm by the friendly relationship between Iron Man and Spider - Man in the MCU , Tony Stark had another young buddy to mentor . Harley Keener was introduced inIron Man 3as a young nipper who help Tony when he became stranded without his armor to save him .

The minor sidekick is a trope that can be pretty hit - or - miss . The picture show did a upright job of wager into those clichés and the youngster was actually quite fun . But sports fan were really not concerned in see Tony babysit . However , many were touched to see Harley show up for Tony ’s funeral inAvengers : Endgame .

Flash Thompson

Tom Holland ’s Peter Parker is such a witching and lovable cat that it ’s leisurely to immediately detest anyone who is mean to him . While some of the villains have tried to stamp out Spider - Man , Flash Thompson mercilessly point Peter himself .

Flash is a reimagining of the definitive high schoolhouse bully , a rich tyke who thinks he ’s better than everyone else . He calls out Peter in front of everyone and insults him at every chance . While it makes for an entertaining foil for Peter in his mundane life story , we would n’t take care seeing Spidey kick Flash ’s ass some daytime .

Quicksilver

Quicksilver had the shortest run as one of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes but still overstay his welcome for some fans . Quicksilver and his sister Scarlet Witch are introduced inAvengers : Age of Ultronas villains before link the submarine to defeat the titular opponent .

Before the end of the movie , Quicksilver sacrifices himself to save both Hawkeye and a nestling , but even that was n’t enough to win over rooter . Perhaps due to the more memorable appearance of the character in theX - Menfilms , the MCU ’s Quicksilver was underwhelming and few fans were sad to see him go .

Dottie Jones

Dottie was very much a character that was designed to be disliked . Within the sitcom atavist trend ofWandaVision , Dottie filled the role of the typical rude and stuck - up neighbor . And she filled that character very well , instantly becoming unlikeable .

It ’s a fleck unfair to Dottie to make such a harsh judgement of her as she was being forced to work this room . Like the other people in Westview , Dottie was a prisoner of Wanda ’s conception . However , it was comfortable to forget that and just see her as an unpleasant person .

Hank Pym

Hank Pym is one of thesmartest type in the MCUand the original Ant - Man . Now in retreat , he helps the heroic duo Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne ensure that his technology is keep out of the faulty hands .

However , fans do n’t dislike Hank because of his unceasing exhibition — they dislike him because he ’s a jerky . Hank is a cranky old man who seems unwilling to permit anyone else explore the scientific breakthroughs he ’s made . Perhaps now that his married woman is saved from the Quantum Realm , he ’ll lighten up a minute .

Ravonna Renslayer

Along with record some young sides to the titular God of Mischief , some really fun and interesting young fibre were introduced inLoki . However , Ravonna Renslayer was not meet so kindly by fan as she was a invariant marijuana cigarette in the mud when it came to Loki ’s time - traveling trickery .

Ravonna was a blind follower of the rules which turned increase more thwarting the more it became clear-cut she was being lied to . However , her unwavering obligation to the rule led her down a glowering track and she even lop Mobius which now made devotee hate her .

Sharon Carter

For a while , Sharon Carter was actually one of the most underrated heroes in the MCU . She was constantly invest herself on the line to help the Heron and save the solar day . She also had the bad luck of entering an awkward love trilateral as she had a brief fling with Steve Rogers before he traveled back in meter to marry her aunty , Peggy Carter .

Given that turn of events , perhaps it ’s not so strange that she turn to the dark side . InThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier , Sharon was uncover to be the Power Broker and her villainous design are still unclear . However , it ’s unlikely she ’s go to gain many new fan now .

Pepper Potts

Pepper Potts has been with the MCU from the very start , but it took fans a retentive time to eventually warm up up to her . It ’s not clear what it was about this character that fans did n’t take to . Perhaps the way she was written made her seem like the nagging distaff partner to the adventurous hero , which is an inauspicious trope in some movies .

As the franchise went on , fans seemed to warm up to the idea of aromance between Tony and Pepper , specially considering the active chemistry they had together . It ’s just a shame they did n’t take to her charm sooner .

Jane Foster

Jane Foster is another quality who was made unpopular thanks to the poorly - designed dear story she was push into . Though Natalie Portman gave a fun and up-and-coming performance as the brilliant scientist , fans never bribe into therelationship between Jane and Thor .

To make matter worse , the films wrote Jane as far too reliant on Thor ’s making love , without kick in her enough of her own agency . Thankfully , she was given a second chance with her epic and fun return inThor : Love and Thunder .

Thunderbolt Ross

While many of the MCU villains are easy to hate , Thunderbolt Ross is an anatomist who is merely an inconvenience . Ross was insert inThe Incredible Hulkas a determined military serviceman but has since become a constant spine in the side of the Avengers .

Though he pry his nose into their line of work often , he is never make very badly by the submarine . They seem to dismiss his authority whenever it disagree with them , which make Ross a pretty easy character to dismiss .

Ralph Bohner

Even with all the theories surroundingWandaVision , few fans auspicate that Evan Peters as Quicksilver would show up in the series . It seemed like the first substantiation of the multiverse in the MCU which would be bringing Marvel characters from other franchises into the fold .

As it turn out , the truth was much less fun than that . Peters ’s character was not actuallyQuicksilver from theX - Menmovies , but rather another brainwashed resident of Westview named Ralph Bohner . After all the promise of the character , the reveal that it was just a work-shy joke was passably dissatisfactory .

John Walker

John Walker make out to see red just about every Marvel fan in the world the second he ill-use on projection screen inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier . To be clean , it was never give way to be easy for anyone to ill-use into the Captain America uniform and follow Steve Rogers .

Of naturally , the point of John Walker ’s character was that he is n’t Steve and the fans are supposed to hate him . With Wyatt Russell ’s splendid public presentation , Walker became the most interesting part of the show and he gradually loses control and turn into everything Steve Rogers was against .

Odin

Odin is one of the most muscular character in the MCU as well as one of the most complicated . As the king of Asgard , Odin oversees the Nine Realms as its protector , making him a very grand figure . However , he is also capable of bang-up cruelty , passion , and violence .

Odin has ostracise Thor , stolen Loki from his homeworld , send his ground forces to capture Thor , accept over the Nine Realms by force , and imprisoned his girl . While he ’s done plenty of dependable as well , fan have a hard time resolve if they should cheer up for Odin or not .

Darcy Lewis

Comedic sidekicks in the MCU can be a lot of fun , like Luis and Shuri . But Darcy Lewis is one comic assuagement character that fan did not embrace . Darcy is introduced inThoras the intern work with Jane Foster . However , alternatively of help , she just acts lazy and crack one - lining .

Actor Kat Dennings does lend a lot of charm to the role , but it does n’t work for everyone . Some of her jokes descend flat and the motion-picture show might have relied on the grapheme for some humor a piddling too much . However , with her appearance inWandaVision , Darcy managed to succeed over a lot of her former haters .

Trevor Slattery

While fans were tickle with Tony Leung ’s turn as Wenwu inShang - Chi , the history of his villain in the MCU is quite controversial . Fans first expected to see The Mandarin , Iron Man ’s most iconic baddie , inIron Man 3only for the speculate terrorist to turn out to be a drunken actor nominate Trevor Slattery .

Many fans enjoyed the unexpected turn of events , but others were bitter disappointed to miss out on the real Mandarin . Perhaps Wenwu ’s office inShang - Chiand Trevor ’s return has aid change some creative thinker about the character .
