POLL: Who’s Your Favorite Jack Kirby Villain?

By Sideshow on Aug 26, 2022

Bold colors, intimidating headgear, and larger-than-life — the Jack Kirby villains of Marvel comics are second to none. Especially those pesky super heroes!

In honor of Jack Kirby’s birthday, August 28, we’ve put together a selection of a few of his infamous villains created for Marvel comics. Kirby’s designs still influence Marvel villains to this day, even helping shape them into the unforgettable on-screen versions we see in the MCU. We’ve got the pewter collectibles to prove it!

Take our poll below to declare your favorite Kirby villains!



Jack Kirby’s Villains Take Over the MCU!

From the deepest reaches of intergalactic space to the darkest corners of an evil laboratory, Jack Kirby’s iconic villains continue to wreak havoc upon Marvel’s most famous heroes.

Many of his villains remain in today’s comics as the immortal adversaries of fan-favorite teams like the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Avengers. In live action, Loki’s original green and yellow horned get-up even made an appearance in Loki!

Soon, we’ll be seeing more of Jack Kirby’s villains appear in the MCU. Attuma will appear alongside Namor in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Will he stay true to his nefarious origins as a source of conflict among Atlantean and Lemurian society? Then, Agatha Harkness will return with her own solo series, Coven of Chaos, and High Evolutionary will debut in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. These two villains are among some of the most unpredictable in Marvel comics, using their immense powers to manipulate as well as orchestrate what can only be described as, well, chaos. Plus, Helmut Zemo has appeared against (and alongside) various Avengers, so it’s possible he’ll return for Thunderbolts.


Kang the Conqueror in the MCU

Finally, of course, we’re all looking forward to Kang the Conqueror. A variant form of Kang, called He Who Remains, appeared in Loki. However, another Kang will pop up in Ant-Man and Wasp: Quantumania, this time known as Nathaniel Richards. Fans are eager to see how this Kang will connect to the Kang that infiltrated the Time Variance Authority in Loki. There’s no doubt that Kang will be a major player throughout the rest of the Multiverse Saga – likely ushering in an entirely new era for the MCU. The saga’s penultimate film is called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, after all.
