Who should be the first villain for the MCU X-Men?
It really is.It’s time for Sinister.
I don't think you should give them a sympathetic backstory. In real life bigoted people including pundits, leaders of hate groups and even some politicians don't generally have a sympathetic backstory that justifies why they're supposedly "scared" of a white genocide or LGBT grooming or whatever other narrative they're going with. Whether they're a rightwing "pundit" like Alex Jones or Matt Walsh or an actual neonazi or KKK member like Richard Spencer or David Duke or whatever, you just can't give a character that would be their equivalent a "sympathetic backstory".One of these: Cameron Hodge, Stephen Lang, Graydon Creed.
But give them a sympathetic backstory to show why theyre prejudiced.
Yeah, giving a "sympathetic backstory" to your Hitler/Wallace/KKK analogy is NOT a good idea.I don't think you should give them a sympathetic backstory.

I mean Arcade was originally a Spider-Man villain, right?Watch them go weird and choose a Spider-Man or Iron Man villain.
Maybe, though not most of them. Arcade for example was originally a villain to Spider-Man and Captain Britain, but has since faced the X-Men more often than any other hero or team (but not exclusively). The fact that he first appeared in a Marvel Team-Up, rather than an actual Spider-Man title and hasn't been an exclusive Spider-Man villain since probably has kept him out of Sony's hands.could they even use a Spider-man villain without collaborating with Sony?
I'd like to see the Sentinels in the first movie but with Bastion as the lead villain.Sentinels should obviously be in the first one. And adding the hellfire club as like a world building villain would be fun. But the main? Sorry I have no idea
Hellfire Club as a shadow organization could be fun... Mr. Sinister needs to happen.Sentinels should obviously be in the first one. And adding the hellfire club as like a world building villain would be fun. But the main? Sorry I have no idea
Omega Red could also be a MCU Wolverine antagonist while Exodus could appear with the Acolytes.Yeah, all of that^^
I'd also love Omega Red, but he would make a great bad guy for DP3 rather than X-Men proper
A good Hellfire Club, Bastion and Nimrod could all be fun as well. I'd love Exodus from a visual standpoint, but not sure where you'd fit him in. Maybe as a rival of Apocalypse who helps the X-Men?
