* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': ''Spider-Man's Tangled Web'' introduces a one-shot villain known as The Thousand, who is just as loathsome as he is horrifying. Originally [[SchoolyardBullyAllGrownUp Carl King]], a particularly nasty bully to Peter Parker, he transformed into [[HiveMind a colony of a thousand spiders]] that could [[BodyHorror crawl into a human's body, devour them from the inside out]] and then [[TheWormThatWalks wear their skin like a suit]] after eating the radioactive spider that gave Parker his powers. He goes through several bodies each year to grow stronger, with some of the victims being children, and hunts down Spidey for the sole purpose of stealing his body and taking over his life, under the belief that he should have been Spider-Man instead of Peter Parker. Even among Peter's worst foes like Norman Osborn and Carnage, the Thousand has none of their bravado or even slightly sympathetic qualities. He's a vicious, entitled bully who kills and torments for the pettiest of reasons, and a vile, predatory abomination both literally and figuratively. This just makes his ultimate demise of [[CruelAndUnusualDeath being electrocuted and having his last spider squished by a random passer-by]] all the more satisfying, and he has [[KilledOffForReal never reappeared since]].

* ''Marvel Graphic Novel #18'': ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} Agent Roger Dooley is placed in charge of bringing in Jennifer Walters aka ComicBook/SheHulk for an examination to make sure she doesn't become a hostile menace like [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk her cousin]]. The first instance of Dooley's jackbooted thuggery is when he sends a team of agents in [[PoweredArmor Mandroid Armor]] to arrest She-Hulk while she's on a date with her boyfriend Wyatt Wingfoot. When She-Hulk resists, citing their lack of a warrant as a reason, Dooley resorts to holding Wyatt hostage to make Jen comply. Dooley then orders Jen to be [[ShamefulStrip publicly strip searched by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents]] much to the disgust and anger of Dum Dum Dugan[[note]]Dugan points out that a S.H.I.E.L.D. strip search is supposed to be done in a ''private'' cell and by an agent of the same sex as the suspect[[/note]]. When Dugan is sent back to Washington after filing a complaint against Dooley, Dooley continues to abuse his authority by subjecting Jen to a series of painful and invasive examinations which he records with the [[IllBeInMyBunk implication of doing so for sexual perversion.]] He also makes a few racially insensitive comments to Wyatt who is Native American. Dooley may have been a one-shot antagonist but he proved to be an utterly depraved human being.

* ComicBook/RedSkull. A surviving member of the [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Nazi Party]] and ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's [[ArchEnemy most personal enemy]], he is without a doubt Cap's most despicable, immoral, pure evil enemy. Possessed of all the worst traits of Marvel's sundry villainous characters and none of their redeeming features, he is reviled [[EvenEvilHasStandards even by other villains]], especially ComicBook/{{Magneto}} and ComicBook/DoctorDoom; even ''ComicBook/TheJoker'' (in ''ComicBook/BatmanAndCaptainAmerica'') hates his guts. By any measure, that's a whole other level of bad. Consequently, few things are as [[CatharsisFactor cathartic]] as seeing Captain America beat the ever-loving snot out of him. Notably, this is his role in ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire''; HYDRA's Steve Rogers and his associates (such as Baron Zemo) have shades of {{Well Intentioned Extremis|t}}m or are at least somewhat entertaining to read about, which they have to be because the reader is stuck with them for most of the event, but Skull is only there to set the event in motion by setting up a CosmicRetcon that makes Captain America retroactively become EvilAllAlong and a member of HYDRA, only for HYDRA-Cap to enact an EvilerThanThou, pull his organization out from under his feet and give him a KarmicDeath.

** However, WordOfGod claims she is not a villain, the book is trying to give her some nonexistent depth to gain people's sympathy at few points, she is ridden with UnfortunateImplications (only real-life minority out of Braddock's Academy kids and only one who is willingly killing others, strong transphobic and lesbophobic subtext), her plans are stupid and outright self-defeating when the book tries to show her as a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] and she varies between being pretentious and whiny. And Marvel once tried to claim fans LoveToHate her, which, quite frankly [[Wrestling/JohnCena never]] [[Wrestling/RomanReigns works]]. All of which is making her more of TheScrappy than this trope.

* As well, we have Henry Peter Gyrich, ''the'' ObstructiveBureaucrat, who committed many atrocities (directly and indirectly) because of FantasticRacism (he was one of the people behind the Sentinel Program, at least on TheNineties ''WesternAnimation/XMen'' TV show), because of thinking he could do better (restructuring The Avengers by pretty much ''tossing most of the membership out on the street''), and for the sake of saving face ([[ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative cloning MVP when he was killed in a training accident]]). This last one, mixed with saying ''exactly the wrong thing'' to Iron Man, finally got him fired. Alas, it wasn't enough to keep him away forever, and Gyrich eventually returned, just as smug, self-righteous and annoying as ever.
