There is chatter that the live-action Scarlet Witch played by Elizabeth Olsen will be following up the events of Disney Plus's WandaVision with a heel turn in May's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but that remains to be seen. She may have only been a villain for a day, but it was one of the worst days the Avengers ever saw. Wanda's brief spree had ramifications that are being felt to this day, even despite being a hero again.
Sure, most of her victims have returned in the last couple of years, but even Korvac and Thanos, whose death counts spiraled into the hundreds, saw their destructive actions undone in a matter of pages. The Scarlet Witch may seem like a strange choice for this list, considering that most of her 50-year history has been spent as one of the Avengers' most stalwart members, but when you consider her culpability in the ' Avengers Disassembled (opens in new tab)' storyline, the fact is she has a higher body count of actual Avengers than any other villain.ĭriven mad by years of psychological torment, first at the hands of the villainous Magneto, and later by the loss of her children, Wanda Maximoff went on a killing spree that claimed the lives of at least four Avengers, and culminated in the casting of a reality-altering spell that left all but around 200 mutants powerless - though she did eventually restore them.

In the end, he sacrificed himself to return the Avengers to life, and undo all of his mistakes. After the Guardian Starhawk's inability to perceive Korvac gave them away, however, the violence began anew, ending only when Thor killed Carina, and caused Korvac to realize the death and destruction he had caused. Carina and Korvac fell in love, though, and hid on Earth, posing as normal Americans. In an attempt to stop Korvac's rampage, a cosmic entity known as the Collector sent his daughter, Carina, to stop Korvac. Originally intending to remake Earth as a utopia, Korvac's inevitable conflict with the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy set him on a path of devastation that left both Avengers and Guardians dead in its wake. Though he began life as a lowly computer programmer, the alien conquerors known as the Badoon transformed him into a cyborg, inadvertently setting him on the path to ultimate power.Īfter attempting to analyze and understand the world-eating entity Galactus's vast knowledge of the universe, Korvac accidentally exposed himself to the Power Cosmic, a nigh-omnipotent force capable of reshaping reality.
Michael Korvac may have been the most powerful foe the Avengers ever faced, all the way back in the landmark '70s story Avengers: The Korvac Saga (opens in new tab).
