Top 10 Best Characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an American shared universe centered on a series of Marvel superhero films. the MCU is one of the highest grossing and critically acclaimed media franchises of all time. It has inspired other studios to attempt similar shared universes.
Iron Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, as well as its associated media. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. He made his first appearance... read more Iron Man...
"I love you 3000."
"No amount of money ever bought a second of time."
"Are you seriously telling me your plan to save the universe is based on Back to the Future?"
"Everybody wants a happy ending. But it doesn't always roll that way."
"It's not about how much we lost. It's about how much we have left. We're the Avengers. We gotta finish this. You trust me?"
"I am Iron Man."
So many good quotes! I'm mad at the directors of Avengers: Endgame for making Tony die. But I have a theory. When he snapped, he got stuck in the Soul Stone world, causing him to die in real life. Remember, after Thanos snapped, he was in that orange-looking world with young Gamora? I think Iron Man and Black Widow are trapped in there. Maybe also Gamora because she also fell off the cliff in Vormir.
Captain Steven Grant Rogers, most known as Steve Rogers or Captain America, is a fictional superhero appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was a World War II veteran and is known as the world's first superhero. The character was created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon and... read more There is someone here stating that Captain America is a hypocrite, so I'll respond to that:
1. He lied because he wanted to die in service to his country against the Nazis. It's not like he only wanted to join the army for his career or something similar.
2. Indeed, despite not knowing it was Bucky, he should have told him.
3. The wishes of 117 governments. In my opinion, he was right. After finding out that S.H.I.E.L.D. was corrupted by Hydra, it's totally understandable that he didn't want to accept orders from governments because they can always have ulterior motives. Governments can easily manipulate information in their favor, and it's always better to trust individuals than institutions.
4. He was being attacked, and his best friend was going to be killed. All he wanted was to protect Bucky. He had the chance to seriously harm Tony or even kill him but refused and dropped the shield.
Yes, in Civil War, he is a bit annoying and heartless sometimes, but he had just lost the love of his life, his best friend was being hunted for something he didn't do, and he knew that new Super Soldiers could be returning soon. He had to do something.
Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics existing in 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) in the... read more Spider-Man is awesome. I love how he was like, "It's like Footloose," and Star-Lord says, "Exactly like Footloose! Is it still the greatest movie on Earth?" Then Spider-Man says, "Technically, it never was-" and Tony interrupts them.
I just love how when Tony came to get him for Captain America: Civil War, Tony says, "So what do you call yourself? Spiderling? The crime-fighting spider? Spider-Boy?" Then Peter answers with a stutter and he's like, "Sp-Spider-Man..." and Tony says, "Not in this onesie you're not." Peter says, "Not a onesie." But it actually is a onesie, Peter.
Thor Odinson is a fictional superhero appearing in the 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... read more He was amazing in Infinity War. That entrance in Wakanda with Rocket and Groot was one of the greatest moments of the film.
This guy is a god, and he faces much more challenging situations than Captain America. Cap is boring compared to Thor. Thor > Cap is a fact.
He's so amazing, and his storyline in his comics, Thor, and Thor: Ragnarok is incredible! So brave and selfless!
Loki Laufeyson, or Loki Odinson, is a fictional character appearing in the 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 has been portrayed by Tom Hiddleston. By far the most interesting and complex character in the MCU. You feel for his need for acceptance and love. He's just a god who's trying to achieve what he never had: a place to belong. He's sometimes too blinded by his jealousy and grief to see that his brother Thor loves and cherishes him above all.
The movies sketch his journey of realizing that it isn't always about power, but the smaller things. I think Loki has finally realized that Thor and he are a unit and their bond runs thicker than blood.
Natalia Alianovna Romanova, most known as Natasha Romanoff or the Black Widow, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is one of the most talented spies and assassins in the entire world and is a founding member of the Avengers. The character was created... read more
Star-Lord is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by Steve Englehart and Steve Gan, first appeared in Marvel Preview #4... read more Easily the most relatable character in the MCU, funny, charismatic, yet also very vulnerable and flawed, which is what makes him so entertaining and compelling to watch. He is exactly where he belongs, in the top 10.
Super charismatic, relatable, and has two of the best MCU movies to date. Star-Lord is one of the best characters from Marvel, and it isn't hard to see why.
He's so underrated and my favorite Guardian! I just love him! He's so funny and a great character!
Thanos is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55 and has been portrayed by actors Damion Poitier and Josh Brolin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This character is evil enough, almost more so, but he killed someone, so I hate him. No spoilers.
Good villain. Would be amazing if I wasn't so affected by how famous characters are since I usually decrease my liking for a character if it gets too popular.
I'm sad he killed some beloved characters, but I can't hate him. He's a great villain. He wants his goal, even losing the things that he loves to get his goal.
Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She is thought to be one of the most powerful people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and can... read more Through the amazing series Wandavision, she deserves a definite top ten. It's amazing to see her character arc from a scared yet powerful Sokovian who has lost so many loved ones she'll break at any second, to a loving and kind mother in Wandavision.
And her power... She's definitely the most powerful hero, even more than Strange and Carol, for various reasons. If you're really curious about it, you can ask me in reply comments. She's not my favorite, but she deserves higher.
Definitely my favorite! She is the most powerful Avenger, and I love her personality. I am so glad she is getting the attention she deserves due to the amazing series WandaVision. She should at least be in the top 5.
Ant-Man is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber and Jack Kirby, Ant-Man's first appearance was in Tales to Astonish #27. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Paul Rudd. I really like how this character was used in Endgame. From the trailers, we had a feeling he was going to be important to the story, and he absolutely was. I like how they inserted him directly into Thanos's battle. He showed his bravery by being unafraid to penetrate right to the bowels of the operation.
Previously, he was a minor character in the MCU. But in Endgame, his role rapidly expanded. It was such an emotional explosion for this character. You can tell that things are different for him after the things he has seen. It's obviously going to be difficult for him to pick up the pieces after this.
The Newcomers
Doctor Octopus, also known as Doc Ock, Doc Octopus, and the Superior Spider-Man, is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #3. In Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: No Way Home, he was portrayed by Alfred Molina.
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 portrayed by Bradley Cooper. I like how he actually has a role rather than just being the punching bag in Avengers Endgame. He handled Thor quite well, and it really shows how he developed a more normal personality rather than being violent and grumpy like in Guardians of the Galaxy.
The guy's been through literal hell almost his entire life, and the fact that he's still been able to keep going after so many unfortunate events while still being a badass at the same time astounds me.
Because of him, they were able to get the Reality Stone and get Thor out of his panic attack. He is a little aggressive sometimes, but he cares a lot about his family. He was so good in Endgame.

Robert Bruce Banner, also known as The Hulk or Bruce Banner, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and was portrayed by Edward Norton and Mark Ruffalo in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Was amazing until Ragnarok and Infinity War dumbed him down. And Endgame Hulk was crap.
Ultron is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is most recognized as a foe of the Avengers, and has a quasi-familial relationship with several of their members, especially his creator Hank Pym. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by... read more

OMG, he's my #1 favorite Marvel character ever! I've always loved Bucky since his first appearance in Captain America: The First Avenger, and even now I still love him. As the Winter Soldier, he's THE BEST, and he's so badass. I just love him! Bucky is so amazing. I love his personality, and his story and character are just amazing. Plus, I have the biggest, most major crush on him. OMG, I think he's so hot. I just love him!
His metal arm and headstrong personality make him a tough and cool hero.
The Red Skull is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
Colonel Nicholas Joseph Fury is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer/artist Jack Kirby and writer Stan Lee, Fury first appeared in Sgt. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson. He's literally the godfather of the Avengers. He should definitely be in the top ten.
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.
