Who is the worst dad in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Odin Borson
The King of Asgard won’t receive the Father of the Year award any time soon. From what we saw in Thor, Loki and Thor had a happy childhood. Sure they fought and there was sibling rivalry, as is usually the case between siblings, but over all, they were happy.
Loki grew jealous of Thor, though, and he was not at all happy that Thor will become King. But not so fast! Thor’s ceremony is interrupted by the Frost Giants, Asgard’s biggest enemy after Odin destroyed nearly all of them in battle ages back. Thor then thinks it would be a great idea to go kick some Frost Giant ass. Odin forbids it, but Thor does it anyway.
The plan fails. Thor and company are saved by Odin just in time. Odin is furious, to say the least. But forget time out, putting the ceremony on hold, or any other reasonable punishment! Instead, Odin exiles Thor from Asgard, banishing him to Earth without his powers and in the middle of nowhere.
