Michael B. Jordan’s Black Panther baddie Killmonger is widely regarded as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s best-ever villains, one who saw his childhood ruined by the intervention of his own people, spurring him on to a lifetime driven entirely by his desire to infiltrate Wakanda, seize the throne he has every right to, and use the nation’s advanced technology to do what he believes is right.

The best antagonists are always the ones who utterly believe in the conviction of their actions, whether they’re right or wrong, and Erik Stevens certainly fits that bill. In ?, his arc was much the same albeit with a few minor differences; namely murdering Tony Stark in cold blood after being taken in as his protege.
