Top 10 Best Avengers Characters

The Avengers are an all-star team of superhero characters from Marvel Comics. The founding members were Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man, and Wasp.

This is a list of the best Avengers members and related characters. Avengers villains and supporting characters are also included in this list.

The Top Ten

Iron Man

Iron Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Iron Man first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 in 1963.... read more

Listen, without Iron Man, the Avengers could not exist. All the big plays, all the money, almost all the brain, and absolutely all the tech come from this genius billionaire playboy philanthropist.
His suit is literally fit for fighting gods, and his blasters can be stopped only by Captain America's shield and the Tesseract itself. He is hugely intelligent, and one of the coolest things about him is that he makes and fixes all his own stuff! None of the others can do that. He is a born frontman but doesn't mind taking the backseat occasionally.
Also, did you see how he didn't treat Banner like a fearsome beast but instead like a human being? He was absolutely fearless in his presence, and that was really nice for Banner.
And the last thing... do you remember when he showed up in Stuttgart to stop Loki? And he took over SHIELD's systems? That awesome music completely encapsulates his unparalleled style, which, arguably, is his strongest and coolest asset that he brings to the team.
Captain America

Captain Steven Grant Rogers, better known as Steve Rogers or Captain America, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a World War II veteran and is often described as the first superhero within the Marvel Universe. The character was created by Joe... read more

He is the best superhero of all time. He saved Vision from Thanos' alien guy in Infinity War and could've been stabbed in the chest if Vision hadn't decided to help him. He's always putting other people before himself, understands his team members, and helps them grow stronger emotionally.
He is willing to do whatever it takes to save the world and is able to use what he has resourcefully. Come on, all he uses is a shield but still can beat the literal crap out of the enemy.
His personality also brightens his character and improves the atmosphere during the movie. How he told the general in Infinity War that he would fight him too if he got in the way of doing what's right. How he started crying in Endgame after Black Widow, one of his closest friends, died. All these little moments make him a great superhero and my favorite of all time.
Thor

Thor Odinson is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name, is the Asgardian god of thunder and possesses the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, which grants him the ability of flight and weather manipulation... read more

Don't tick this guy off. He has a super powerful, electrically enchanted hammer that comes to his hand whenever he wants, and no one else can pick it up. He also possesses super strength and immortality. Still want to tick him off? He's also a god. Good luck with that.

Nobility, valor, super strength, superb combat skills, immortality, vast regenerative capacity, and his hammer is one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel universe. Enough said.

Thor smashes every Avenger with a single stroke of a lightning blast. No one can lift Thor's hammer as he is the only powerful god eligible to lift it. Thor cannot die. He will live forever!
Spider-Man

Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, set within its shared universe. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) during the... read more

Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero. I'm not saying he would be able to beat one of the more powerful ones, like the Hulk, for example, but I think his powers are the coolest. I watched him when I was really little, and like every birthday, I've had, I wished for his awesome agility and web-shooting powers.
Again, I'm not saying he is the most powerful, I'm just saying he is my personal favorite.

Lots of these characters aren't Avengers, but they are Avengers characters. Spider-Man appears in the Avengers movies, so I guess that counts as him being an Avenger for a short time.
Black Widow

Natalia Alianovna Romanova, more commonly known as Natasha Romanoff or the Black Widow, is a fictional superhero featured in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is recognized as one of the most skilled spies and assassins in the world and is also a founding member of the Avengers.... read more

Now that Age of Ultron has come out, we see how tragic Black Widow's childhood was. Wasn't she around fifteen when she was forced to kill someone? Anyone would be unresponsive for days after such traumatic flashbacks.
But she moved past it. She transformed from a world-renowned assassin into an Avenger. If you think she's lazy, remember Hawkeye was sent to eliminate her, and if you think she's weak, try taking out five men all at once, armed with guns and pepper spray.
She doesn't have superpowers, but neither did Tony or Clint. The Avengers weren't chosen solely for their powers. They were selected because they were skilled and willing to do the job. Natasha is an exceptional fighter - no one else can fight like her. She even manipulated Loki, the god of mischief, into revealing how he planned to defeat SHIELD.
Natasha is a master manipulator and actress. Tony, Pepper, and Happy all believed she was simply Pepper's assistant until Fury clued Tony in. Later, Happy saw her single-handedly take down five men. I'm skeptical that Pepper didn't at least suspect something, but who knows?
Natasha is cold, tactful, logical, and brilliant - exactly why she was chosen for the Avengers. She provided key intelligence on Loki's plan, helped assemble the team, and shut down the Tesseract.
I'm not going to say, "don't criticize her because she's a woman" or make shallow remarks like "she's sexy" or "she should date Captain America." None of that is why she's a great character. You wouldn't like Steve just because of his build, right? And while I think Steve's a great character, I don't think he works as hard as Natasha does.
She did a psychological evaluation on Tony (imagine how frustrating that must have been), tracked down Bruce Banner in the east, and was willing to kill Hawkeye, her best friend, to save everyone else. She manipulated Loki, fought off five men in Iron Man 2, and shut down the Tesseract.... read more
The Incredible Hulk

Robert Bruce Banner, also known as The Hulk or Bruce Banner, is a fictional superhero in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was co-created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. In live-action films, he was portrayed by Eric Bana, and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he's... read more

The big green smashing machine. He has no special weapons, no armor. Just immense strength and plenty of pure rage. When he uses both on you, you better hope he doesn't find you.

Hulk even stopped Thor's hammer. Come on, he is the strongest in the team. And Banner is even more incredible as a scientist.

Lol, guys, he's practically invincible and has no limit to his strength. He can destroy planets with a single punch and can pick up a god's hammer! The Hulk would destroy any other superhero. It might take a very long time, but eventually, he's going to get so strong that he could even kill Superman.
Scarlet Witch

Wanda Maximoff, known as the Scarlet Witch, is a fictional superhero appearing in Marvel Comics. She is portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where she is considered one of its most powerful characters.... read more

She destroyed so many of Ultron's robots and basically just has to snap her fingers to say goodbye. She controlled Vision in Civil War, stopped everyone in the big showdown in Civil War, held back Thanos, destroyed an Infinity Stone, and saved part of Wakanda when she destroyed the tanks.

She should be number one because of her ability to warp reality and change it, as well as reanimate corpses (as seen in the comics). It would be great to see this in the movies, showcasing her true power. She could probably defeat any of the Avengers, Loki, and even Thanos if her powers were at their maximum.
She managed to infiltrate the minds of several Avengers, including Thor (a god), Iron Man (whom you ranked number one), Black Widow, and Captain America, causing significant upheaval. Additionally, she played pivotal roles in defeating Ultron and Proxima Midnight.
Ant-Man

Ant-Man is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in Marvel Comics. He was created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby and first appeared in Tales to Astonish #27. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ant-Man is portrayed by Paul Rudd, who plays Scott Lang, the second character to adopt... read more

He's so funny and one of my favorite superheroes. In his movie, I laughed so much and was definitely entertained. It had an easy plot to follow, and it was just cool. Nobody doesn't like this guy.

Can I just say Ant-Man is one of the best characters in the MCU, but he is so underrated? I mean, who was the first person to go to the quantum realm and come back? Who saves half the galaxy in Endgame? And who gives us the iconic line, "Does anyone have any orange slices?" The answer to all of these is Ant-Man.

He is funny, awesome, and friends with Luis - the best character in the MCU.
Doctor Strange

Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, best known under his alias Doctor Strange, is a fictional superhero created by artist Steve Ditko and writer Stan Lee, appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Doctor Strange serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, Earth's primary protector against magical... read more

It depends on the view. For me, the most satisfying character is Peter Quill, who almost always makes everyone laugh. But when it comes down to it, the character for me is Doctor Strange. He easily could have beaten Thanos if Marvel hadn't been planning on making a sequel.
Imagine that his teacher was able to remove the soul from the body, and the soul wasn't able to return until it was allowed to, as was done to Hulk. So, he is very interesting in terms of what he can do, but the movies didn't explore that because the story would have been too short.
In the end, he is the most interesting character, but Marvel hasn't utilized him fully due to the lack of storyline. It was about losing money, but still, I think he could have easily beaten Thanos. As said in the Doctor Strange movie, they get their energy for the powers from a different universe, so there would have been an infinite amount of it.
Black Panther

T'Challa, better known as the Black Panther, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, first appearing in Fantastic Four #52 (cover-dated July 1966) during the Silver Age of Comic Books.... read more

He's one of Marvel's greatest characters. Did you know he invented the Avengers' Quinjet? He's one of the top eight smartest people in Marvel. Black Panther leads the most technologically advanced nation on Marvel Earth, where Tony's lab is considered an average little lab.
Black Panther has defeated the forces of the Super Skrulls when all heroes on Earth fell to them. He also led the Avengers to capture Thanos, defended Wakanda from the attacks of Mephisto, and beat Doctor Doom and his Latverian forces.

He is a deadly warrior with extreme leadership, especially when leading in Infinity War, as well as a brilliant scientist and inventor, though I admit his sister does most of the work these days.

Jane Foster

Jane Foster is a fictional character from American comic books published by Marvel Comics, where she frequently appears as a supporting character of the superhero Thor. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she is portrayed by actress Natalie Portman. She plays a significant role in several films, including... read more

The Contenders

Hawkeye

Clinton Francis "Clint" Barton, better known as Hawkeye, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is a former special agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., where he worked under the supervision of Phil Coulson. Known for his use of the bow and arrow as his primary weapon... read more

If I had two votes, they would go to Iron Man and Hawkeye. Hawkeye is a family man with a commendable personality that hasn't been as tainted as some others. He possesses the best self-control, partly because he leads the most normal personal life among the Avengers.
What's more advantageous than attacking from a distance? Hawkeye has caused fewer accidental civilian casualties and city damages compared to other Avengers. This is because his method of attack often involves precise shooting, rather than causing widespread destruction.

Clint deserves better. In the first movie, he didn't get much screen time apart from working as Loki's lackey. Then they pulled a twist on us in Ultron that was unfaithful to the comics and made his character a little more boring. Civil War used him very little.
In the comics, he's funny, dangerous, and quite the assassin alongside Romanoff. I hope in Infinity War they do better.
Loki

Loki Laufeyson, also known as Loki Odinson, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the adoptive brother and archenemy of Thor and is known as the "God of Mischief." In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character is portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.

Loki is the bomb. I loved Tom Hiddleston (Loki) already, so this film made me love him more. He's so badass and sexy (I never said that).
Although the movie is supposed to be about a bunch of superheroes fighting to save the world, I think most people were rooting for Loki, trying to rule the world. Also, I know he's the villain, but he has more fans than the actual superheroes (besides Iron Man, of course).

Loki is just so cool! You cannot beat Loki. I know he's the bad guy, but he seems to be more loved than all the actual superheroes. He could have won that war if he really tried, but all the way through the Avengers, I was totally Team Loki!
Vision

The Vision is a fictional superhero who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is an android who first appeared in The Avengers #57 in 1968 and has been a longtime member of the Avengers team. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Vision is portrayed by Paul Bettany and appears in... read more

He's awesome! Imagine how his power would look if he had all six gems.
Thanos

Thanos is a fictional supervillain featured in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was created by Jim Starlin and made his first appearance in Iron Man #55, published in February 1973. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos has been portrayed by Damion Poitier in The Avengers (2012... read more

He is one of the most badass characters in all of Marvel.
Winter Soldier

James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 in 1941. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Bucky is portrayed by Sebastian Stan and evolves from Captain... read more

Dude, this is Bucky we're talking about here. He deserves to be in third or fifth place.

He's got super soldier serum, a metal arm, great hair, assassin skills, and hotness.

Did you see his fighting in The Winter Soldier?
Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was originally created by writer Gerry Conway and artist John Buscema. The most recent incarnation, Kamala Khan, debuted in 2013 and became the first Muslim character to headline... read more

She is so determined and brave. She is also the strongest Avenger. She should be at least number 3!
Nick Fury

Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, Fury first appeared in Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos #1 in May 1963. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Samuel... read more
Quicksilver

Quicksilver is a fictional superhero appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in X-Men #4 in 1964. Quicksilver was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and is known for his superhuman speed.

In my opinion, he should be ranked much higher. He is a very powerful and authentic character. Even though he appears in only one movie, he still comes across as a great guy and an amazing brother. He constantly worked to protect his sister, Wanda, seizing every opportunity to do so. He cared deeply for her, safeguarding the only family he had left. Moreover, his storyline had so much potential for further development.
He also sacrificed himself to save a member of the Avengers and a young boy, epitomizing a true hero. Pietro is such an underrated character and truly deserved so much more.

If he were in Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos would have lost easily. He could have run around him so fast that he could punch him really hard without hurting himself. He really should be second on the list.
Wasp

The Wasp is a fictional superheroine who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She was created by Stan Lee, Ernie Hart, and Jack Kirby and made her first appearance in Tales to Astonish #44 in June 1963. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character is portrayed by Evangeline... read more

Great character played by a great actress. Let's hope she and Ant-Man get another movie!
Falcon

Falcon is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan and first appeared in Captain America #117 in 1969. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Falcon is portrayed by Anthony Mackie. He later... read more

I've always liked him. They just don't show him enough in movies, except in Civil War, where he was AWESOME. He needs his own movie or something so people can see how awesome he is.

Falcon has amazing aerobatic skills as well as acrobatic ones, and his suit is great, especially in the comics!
Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Keith Giffen, the character first appeared in Marvel Preview #7. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is voiced by Bradley Cooper and appears as a key member... read more
Gamora

Gamora is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Jim Starlin, the character first appeared in Strange Tales #180. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she is portrayed by Zoe Saldaña in multiple films, including Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians... read more

Gamora is hot and a badass. Being able to call herself the most dangerous woman in the universe is pretty sick, man.
War Machine

War Machine is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character has been portrayed by Terrence Howard in Iron Man and by Don Cheadle in subsequent films. War Machine is also known as James Rhodey Rhodes, a close ally of... read more
Ultron

Ultron is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is widely recognized as a major adversary of the Avengers and has a complex connection with several team members, particularly his creator Hank Pym.... read more

His attitude towards Stark is just funny!
Wolverine

Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include an accelerated healing factor, enhanced senses, and his signature adamantium claws and skeleton.... read more

How is Wolverine so low? He deserves to be in the top 10. Oh my God, these people. Wolverine is so much better than this. He is still really good to me.
