The Wrecker and his team (who do not appear) are among the most tired, overused criminals in the Marvel Universe.
The Wrecker here is neither a meat-headed galoot nor the fearsome maniac who helped destroy the Avenger’s Mansion during its siege by Zemo’s Masters of Evil.
While the portrayal is fairly good, it’s difficult to believe the Wrecker represents a real threat, as he should, on any level, despite the fast manner in which he disposes of three of the four Avengers who oppose him.
