Now we know there are no beauty pageant winners in the criminal underbelly of the Marvel Universe, but these six really do take creepy to the next level. At least one of these monsters are guaranteed to make your skin crawl, that little sensation that gives you a cold shiver down your spine, and let’s be honest, some of you may even hide behind your pillows at the very site of these creatures. Now that I have piqued your interest, let’s take a closer look at the gut wrenching six:
6. Sugar Man
For those of you unfamiliar with the X-Men Comics, Sugar Man was in charge of the Seattle Core, a slave camp that helped power North America during the Age of Apocalypse storyline. Since we might see that very story in future X-Men films, Sugar Man might be creeping us out on the big screen soon enough! Looking like MODOK’s uglier big brother (if that was ever possible) with the ability to change his mass, he can either creep you out on a larger or miniature scale. Four arms and a tongue Venom would be proud of round out this grotesque villain!
5. Carnage
A creature that needs no introduction, Carnage is easily the most recognisable entry on this list. A pain in Spider-Man’s side for many years, Carnage is the darker offspring of Venom. Not many beasts’ roar and presence can strike fear into the heart of even the bravest of heroes more than Carnage’s. His appearance looks like he is dripping in blood and razor sharp teeth, which unfortunately means no one is finding this creature cute any time soon. Just imagine standing in a dark alley and this emerges from the shadows. Would you be able to move or become stricken with fear?
4. Scarecrow
Not to be mistaken for the brainless Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz, this Scarecrow has had tie ins with Iron Man and has even battled Ghost Rider, but his main foe was good old stars and stripes Captain America. In his former life, Scarecrow went by the name of Ebenezer Laughton, a highly skilled contortionist. Turning his talents to crime, he became an accomplished burglar and professional thief. He mostly worked alone except for a flock of trained crows which served as carriers and killers. If his appearance is not creepy enough for you, this double jointed monster can perform various acrobatic stunts. So try fighting a creature that can pick from any lock while doing back flips. I think we will leave this one to you, Cap.
3. The Thousand
Warning: anyone suffering from arachnophobia look away now! While witnessing a battle between Spider-Man and the Rhino, Carl King continued to tell himself that Peter Parker stole the life that should have been his. Stalking Parker in ever aspect of his life, The Thousand introduced himself in front of Parker by literally peeling away his human form to reveal a thousand spiders. Quite the fitting villain for Spider-Man: one spider versus a thousand, all with the same speed and gymnastic capability. Now if a thousand mutated spiders isn’t enough to make your skin crawl, you are a braver person than I am!
2. Terror
Terror’s full past and dimension of origin are uncertain. In the distant past, he battled a green bear-like demon that threatened early mankind, sacrificing his own form to overcome it; he was then cursed to wear its decayed form but gained its power. With the ability to replace his own body parts with other organisms, living or dead, he also inherits the memories of the former users of those parts. As well as being organ hoarder, Terror can also release a molecular acid that swiftly targets a victim’s joint and surrounding tissue, enabling him to tear a new limb from anyone in range. Just imagine being melted away by a demon with numerous decaying body parts – not for the faint hearted!
1. The Marquis of Death
Formally known as Clyde Wyncham, Jr, the Marquis of Death was confined to Area 87 until it came under attack from several of Reed Richards’ greatest enemies, all of whom sought to kill Clyde. In their arrogance, Clyde was freed with his mind fully restored. With a single thought, Clyde killed all of the villains around him and, by doing so, his appetite for slaughter awakened. With the appearance of a creature that could seemingly fit into the surroundings of Silent Hill, The Marquis of Death face offers no emotion simply a rotted set of teeth and real aura of Death.
Now that I have well and truly added a little more creep into your lives I would just like to remind you all that although these hideous creatures may exist within the MCU there is always a knight in shinning armour to save us, so just before you go to bed tonight no one would blame you if you checked under your bed and left a light on just in case you have a few nightmares.
