MCU: Why Carol Danvers should go up against these two villains in Captain Marvel 2

Mahkizmo the Nuclear Man

One of the many things Carol Danvers won’t stand for is inequality. We saw this reflected in her solo movie multiple times, even during little moments like when that dude told her to smile. There’s certain to be more of that going forward, especially since it mimics real life.

With that in mind, the Nuclear Man should be Captain Marvel’s main antagonist in the future because he’s the most chauvinistic character we’ve seen in a long time – and a powerful one at that.

Just going to put this out there, his real name is Machus. He calls himself Mahkizmo. My assumption is that it’s pronounced like “Machismo” which is strong or aggressive masculine pride. While there’s nothing wrong with having pride, there’s something horrible about being so proud that your words and actions are abusive. That is exactly what Mahkizmo is.

First, he attacked Carol Danvers in an attempt to test her strength. Once that was done, he made her fight Rogue to see which one of them was “worthy” of being his bride and bearing his children. In a word, yuck.

Everyone reading this probably wants to punch him. This is why he’s a perfect candidate for a film antagonist. Captain Marvel gets a villain who represents everything she fight against and one that nobody would feel bad for. In fact, they’d cheer whenever she knocks him on his oppressive backside.
