Love him or hate him, it's still an obsession.
In the final chilling sequence of Secret Invasion Episode 4, as Gravik slowly turns towards Nick Fury , healing his half-blown-off face reminiscent of the T-1000 from Terminator 2, I had a profound revelation — Gravik is a phenomenal villain. Not despite the widespread hate directed towards him, but precisely because of it.
As a captivating villain, Gravik masterfully plays his role as a worthy adversary to the main protagonist. The way he strategically targets Fury's allies and friends consistently amplifies the stakes, leaving both the hero and the audience reeling from the loss. Now that he's a Super Skrull, there are no apparent limits to Gravik's abilities, making him an even more incalculable and intimidating force, putting everyone on edge as they grapple with the magnitude of his strength.
In the realm of villains, clear and convincing motives are paramount, and Gravik undoubtedly possesses this key trait. That's not to say that every good villain needs such nuance, because there is certainly a different kind of appeal to villains like Green Goblin who are just flat-out evil, but in Gravik's case, it definitely adds depth and intrigue to his character.
