He was literally the diamond warlord living in glass tower full of hi tech while his subjects waded around mud streets, he also supported tribalism and superstition which divided his people so he could rule them, and let's not forget the endangered species animal abuse and weaponisation. Somehow exactly like some of the US comics villains from 60's, but spinned at sympthetic.
I never watch MCU stuff for this reason, like if they ever plan to make an Algerian super hero they'll make him a Harki (our version of gusanos) or someshit.
Colossus from X-Men. While he is consistently written as one of the best and nicest superheroes in entire universe, he also have gusano moments and is indirectly a vector for all imaginable gusano propaganda against USSR. Or Black Widow who is straight up a gusano and needed an children atrocity story at her origin to make her even slightly sympathetic.
