20 Marvel villains ranked by their dateability

10. Obadiah Stane

Obadiah Stane is the first-ever villain of the MCU, and that makes him an important man just because of that alone. Making his debut in Iron Man, Stane originally worked with Howard Stark, Tony Stark’s father. As the two men were actually good friends, it made sense that he would become the interim CEO after Howard’s death.

But of course, when Tony took over for his father, Obadiah Stane was kicked out of his role as head of Star Industries, which led to tensions building up, and well the rest is history. However, that doesn’t mean he isn’t still completely date-worthy. There is actually a lot about Obadiah that makes him highly dateable.

Stane is a power-hungry man, which means that he has goals and a desire to achieve a lot, and that definitely is something we all want to see in a partner. It is also important to note that he was a mentor, which means he can be very understanding, while still being someone who can guide a relationship in the right direction. He also has the necessary resources to make life impressive and fun.

And the fact that he can make his own armor (the Iron Monger Armor to be exact), means that he is also handy enough to take care of things we may need done. We love the idea of having someone who can fix things and build things on their own, and it honestly adds to his overall dating appeal.
