These Avengers stories could be amazing A-list villains, but they needed better stories to get there.
The Avengers have battled many of the greatest villains in the history of comics. The team brings together the greatest heroes in the Marvel Universe, and that means the villains they face have to be able to deal with heroes on the level of Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and a variety of other powerful, skilled heroes.
Avengers villains have to be a cut above the rest. However, the power level of the villains is only a part of what makes a great story; the actual story of the villain and their battle against the Avengers has to also be entertaining and well-told.
The Avengers have some villains, like Ultron and Kang, that have amazing stories outside of their threat level that make them compelling. However, the same can’t be said for every Avengers villain.
