* ''Series/Daredevil2015'':
** [[Characters/MCUKingpin Wilson Fisk]] runs a complex scheme to make himself the hero to Hell's Kitchen, all while bringing organized crime under his thumb for the supposed betterment of the city. Falling prey to his own insecurities and impulsivity, Fisk is defeated and imprisoned, but slowly rebuilds himself as more dangerous and clever than ever. Shedding his former flaws, Fisk becomes a force to be reckoned with, even arranging for the Punisher to dispose of his obstacles, outmanuevers and crushes all his opposition and arranges for his own release from prison under 'house arrest' where he still dominates organized crime as the true kingpin. Steadily manipulating others into his grasp, including the deadly FBI agent 'Dex' Pointdexer, he arranges for Dex to impersonate Daredevil on several murders as to frame him, all while rising even further and even getting his hooks into FBI agents. Even when defeated, he makes a deal with Daredevil for the safety of his beloved Vanessa and seals it with an honorable handshake, constantly showcasing himself as one of the most brilliant and skilled villains in all the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
** Season 1: [[HonestAdvisor James Wesley]] is Wilson Fisk's extremely competent [[TheConsigliere right-hand man]], who handles the everyday affairs of his boss's criminal empire. Able to skillfully [[TheHeavy blackmail, bribe, and threaten anyone he so chooses]] into carrying out his dirty work, Wesley simultaneously juggles interactions with the various crime lords of New York to gain their trust and partnership with Fisk. A [[UndyingLoyalty genuinely loyal servant]] of Fisk's who would risk his own life to protect the interests of his friend and employer, Wesley's charisma and micromanagement helped Fisk get his empire off the ground and maintain its power even at Fisk's most vulnerable, impulsive period.

* Season 3: The man once known as [[FromNobodyToNightmare Alveus]], upon Kree experimentation, was forever transformed into "[[HiveMind Hive]]." Through sheer intellect and force of will, Hive drove the Kree from earth, rallying all ComicBook/TheInhumans to his side in the process, and though banished from earth by treacherous followers, Hive nonetheless laid the groundwork for the formation of [[Characters/{{MCUHYDRA}} HYDRA]], the death cult organization that has haunted the world for centuries after. In the present, Hive manipulates himself back to earth with help from Gideon Malick, and immediately amasses a small following of Inhumans. Using Malick before murdering him once he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlives his usefulness]], Hive stays one step ahead of S.H.I.E.L.D. throughout the series, even turning Daisy Johnson to his side and using her as a mole. Though driven temporarily insane, Hive is revealed to have exaggerated even this as a plot to be captured then use SHIELD's own devices to enact his final plan of turning a chunk of humanity into Inhumans so as to create a perfect, peaceful paradise. Hive's final moments are spent calmly reflecting that he truly wanted what was best for Inhumans, and dies realizing and admitting that perhaps humanity isn't as deserving of destruction as he once thought.

* [[BigGood Enoch]] is a Chronicom anthropologist sent to record human evolution. Learning of an extinction-level event that will occur in the near future, Enoch kidnaps the [[Characters/{{MCUSHIELD}} S.H.I.E.L.D. agents]] and sends them to the year 2091 in order to prevent the end of the world. Later assisting Leo Fitz in reuniting with his friends by [[TheSlowPath cryogenically freezing him]], Enoch and Fitz infiltrate the Kree Inhuman auction to save the latter's teammates, Enoch sacrificing himself so S.H.I.E.L.D. can return to the present. With the timeline changed, Enoch helps Fitz go on the run, before reluctantly betraying both him and Simmons to the Hunters when informed they want to learn how to time travel in order to save Chronyca-2. [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch Later rescuing his friends]], Enoch defeats a Hunter sent after him before stealing his skin to infiltrate the Chronicom forces and once again save [=FitzSimmons=]. Having stolen a Chronicom Time Stream, the three spend years preparing to stop the Hunters, returning to the time they left to put their plan into motion. Secretly scattering throughout history pieces of a time machine later used to contact Fitz and successfully execute the rest of their plan, Enoch ultimately {{HeroicSacrifice sacrifices]] himself once more so that S.H.I.E.L.D. can escape a time loop, dying content that [[UndyingLoyalty he is and always has been their friend]].

* Season Two: Jiaying is the mother of series protagonist Skye/Daisy Johnson and the leader of the Inhuman community known as Afterlife, who developed a grudge against humanity after being tortured by [[MadScientist Daniel Whitehall]] for her immortality. Jaiying uses her husband Cal’s desire to re-assemble their family to bring Syke into the fold. Cal works with Whitehall with plans to betray him, who dies at the hands of Coulson. When Skye’s distaste for Cal’s creepy behavior prevents the reunion, Jiaying plays off [[FantasticRacism her teammates' fear of her newly developed Inhuman abilities]]. She has her right hand man Gordon bring Syke over to Afterlife. Introducing Daisy to her new home, she trains her to see her powers as a beautiful thing. When Jaiying discovers the Monolith on the Iliad, Jiaying plans war with S.H.I.E.L.D. She lures them with peace talks, even offering Cal as a trojan horse prisoner. She pretends to negotiate with Gonzales, only to kill him with a [[DeadlyGas terrigen crystal]]. [[WoundedGazelleGambit She wounds herself]], and has [[FalseFlagOperation Afterlife strafed to begin a war]]. To conceal this deception she murders the prophetic Raini, unaware Skye was watching. She then goes to the Iliad and kills Oliver to demonstrate the terrigen crystals. Jiaying threatens to put them in the ship’s vents unless Weaver expands the S.O.S. beacon, to lead S.H.I.E.L.D. into a trap. Confronted by Daisy, Jaiying declares her intent to spread the terrigen gas worldwide, feeling that it would be the only way to keep Inhumans safe.

* [[Characters/MCUGrantWard Grant Ward]] is the most personal foe Team Coulson ever faced. Introduced as the apparently [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold stony but caring]] new recruit to Coulson's team, Ward bonds with his allies and assists them in all manner of successful missions, before being revealed as a deep cover Hydra agent who has been playing his team all along. Twisted by his childhood abuse and surrogate father John Garrett, Ward is a cold, calculating machine with [[AffablyEvil genuine affability]] towards enemy and ally alike, who has dedicated himself to "helping" others from the constraints of morality and the past. Ward regularly alternates between sworn enemy of Team Coulson and a necessary evil they ally with to take on bigger threats, always thinking several steps ahead and evading any attempts at capture or justice. After the loss of more than one loved one on the battlefield with S.H.I.E.L.D., Ward assumes control of Hydra and weeds out many of the weakest links to create a formidable rival to S.H.I.E.L.D., before coming face-to-face with Gideon Malick himself and working with the man to travel to Maveth and return Hive to Earth. In the end, Ward views all of his suffering--[[spoiler: including his approaching death]]--as a welcome necessity to finally finding his place in the universe as part of Hydra's "grand plan."

Years later, Stick would continue to attempting to manipulate Matt into joining the Chaste, using Elektra to seduce him, as well as taking advantage of Matt having a common enemy in Hand lieutenant, Nobu Yoshioka. Tricking Matt into being a diversion, Stick kills the Black Sky, [[WouldHurtAChild merely a child]]. Stick later returns and saves Elektra from being near-fatally poisoned, but later sees Elektra has become a liability and decides to have her assassinated. Even captured and tortured by the Hand twice, Stick demonstrates NervesOfSteel and never breaks, even cutting off his hand to escape Alexandra. Guiding the [[Characters/MCUDefendersAndAllies Defenders]] in the war against the Hand, Stick learns that the Hand desire the Iron Fist, so decides to kill Danny Rand to prevent the Hand from capturing him, very nearly succeeding by paralyzing Luke Cage.

A charismatic leader, Gao's followers have unwavering loyalty to her, her drug factory workers having willingly blinded themselves as a sign of faith in her.

When this fails he sends [[ShockAndAwe The Shocker]] to distract Peter and later fights him for the final time so he wouldn't foil Toomes' latest heist job. Although threatening to kill Peter and his loved ones, it's shown that Toomes greatly respects him, showing gratitude for saving his daughter's life, as well as his own, by not selling out his SecretIdentity in prison, cementing Adrian Toomes as one of the most [[NobleDemon honorable,]] yet cunning foes in the films.
