Some Marvel villains are way weaker in the movies.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the wider world of Marvel movies, many villains are significantly weaker on-screen than they are in the comics. Even before the beginnings of the MCU’s movie timeline, the stories and characters of Marvel Comics have been adapted to the screen in blockbuster live-action spectacles.
Sadly, Rise of the Silver Surfer was unable to do justice to the villain. Galactus was depicted as a large cosmic cloud, rather than the colossal humanoid entity he commonly appears as in the comics. Not only was Galactus’ traditional appearance missing, but many of his abilities were gone with it. Presenting Galactus as a cloud does little to communicate his hunger for worlds, and subtly depicts him more as a force of nature than a malevolent entity.
In the comics, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker possesses a unique ability that makes him deceptively powerful. As well as being an expert combatant and swordsman, Strucker is infected with the Deathspore virus, which grants him enhanced durability and healing and allows him to release a deadly toxin on command. These powers make Strucker a formidable foe, although they appeared to be completely absent during his short-lived MCU appearance.
6 Ulysses Klaue Was A Generic Arms Dealer Avengers: Age of Ultron , Black Panther Close Black Panther PG-13 Where to Watch *Availability in USDirector Ryan Coogler Release Date February 16, 2018 Runtime 134 Minutes Ulysses Klaue was introduced to the MCU in Avengers: Age of Ultron as an arms dealer with a grudge against Wakanda. He later featured in Black Panther before being killed by Killmonger.
The film does very little to accurately convey the true power level of Apocalypse. In the comics, he’s one of Marvel’s most powerful and fearsome figures, with a staggering slew of abilities that make him especially dangerous. For X-Men: Apocalypse, he was simply written to be something of a generic villain, and his powers and their limits are not defined at all. As such, Apocalypse seems far more powerful in the comics, where greater context and exploration of the character have occurred.
In the MCU, Red Skull is written to have essentially the same skill set as Captain America. However, as he is defeated and banished to guard the Soul Stone, Red Skull never gets the chance to amass the same power he wields in the comics. Over his comic book history, the villain has been able to imbue himself with many dangerous abilities that he simply didn’t have in the MCU.
