20 Marvel villains ranked by their dateability

16. Alexander Pierce

In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, we met Alexander Pierce, played by Robert Redford. And if his portrayer isn’t enough to convince us that Pierce is truly dateable, then perhaps we will have to point out some of his other date-worthy qualities (even if he is a definite bad guy).

Redford in general is a dignified older gentleman, which is why we are automatically drawn to Alexander Pierce. Here is a man with power, presence, and of course dignity. And not just that, but he reminds us of the proverbial silver fox, with the age, wisdom, and experience that comes with that title.

As one of the leaders of HYDRA, as well as an undercover operative, it is clear that this is a man who can not only be a leader, but he does what is necessary to get the results he wants. It is also absolutely clear that he is the kind of person who takes the initiative to make things happen.

All of these qualities make Alexander Pierce the kind of man who is a solid dating prospect. From his dominant personality to his take-charge approach to life, we think he could be the perfect boyfriend.

And we highly doubt he is going to cheat or be on dating apps looking for the next best thing. In fact, we can’t even imagine him using a dating app to begin with. Instead, he is more likely to try something like speed dating or even a matchmaker to find his next love interest.
