Abusive and awful fathers seem to be a dime a dozen in Marvel, so with that in mind I decided to list off all of the Marvel characters I know of who had abusive fathers. Please note though that in order to qualify for this list the character's father has to be legitimately abusive, cruel, absentee, or a villain who's villainy actively interferes with their being a good father. Merely being stern, demanding, or having a not perfect relationship with their son (Odin, Howard Stark, Jefferson Davis, etc.) is not enough to count.
