MCUW: Main Character of the Upside-Down World 1 (MCUW: Main Character of the Upside- Down World)

Eventually, he was revived and swore vengeance on Lang. Wouldn't that have made for a much more interesting story? Hydra is arguably the most dangerous organization in the Marvel Universe, and they've been around since the way back when. They often had sinister plans that involved unique technology.

The only man suited to build everything they needed was Arnim Zola. However, people don't live forever, and Zola's body eventually deteriorated. Where Zola goes from there depends on whether you're talking about the comics or films. His consciousness is preserved in a massive robot to destroy the world in the comics, but in the films, his mind is simply held in an elaborate computer system that is demolished seconds after he's reintroduced. It's a great disservice to an otherwise pretty entertaining character.

Because of this, there were some creative changes made to his origin that were a little maligned. However, in the comics, he never had the spirit. Instead, he is possessed by the dead soul of a Satanic serial killer. The spirit that lives inside Robbie can also take control at times.

Robbie is not motivated by vengeance in the comics as much he is in the show, and that's primarily because of how differently each version of the character was handled. Out of the initial superheroes who formed the team shown in The Avengers , who was the most interesting of the bunch? The truth is that Clint Barton has been severely screwed over in the MCU, especially when you consider how he has contributed to the team in the comics. For starters, he used to be a circus performer who was later inspired to become a hero. He was originally accused of being a thief by the Avengers, but he eventually joined their team.

However, even while working with them, Hawkeye clashed often and chose to do his own thing rather than act on orders. He even took over Hank Pym's identity as Goliath for a time. Unfortunately, we'll never get that Hawkeye in the movies. That was the man who would later become Crossbones, one of the biggest Captain America villains to date. In the comics, the character was much more powerful. He was a skilled and powerful fighter, equipped with plenty of weapons to take his foes out. His MCU version is far cry from who he is in the comics, and we couldn't be more upset. When it was announced that the second Avengers movie would be called Age of Ultron , many fans got excited.

After all, Ultron was one of the most sinister villains that Earth's Mightiest Heroes have ever faced. Being a ruthless AI that constantly upgrades himself, Ultron was brilliant enough to not only take over the world but destroy many heroes with extreme prejudice. Age of Ultron , we got a quippy yet powerful robot created by Tony Stark. While it wasn't the worst thing ever put on screen, it doesn't hold a candle to the comic book version. There was no development to his villainy and he didn't look nearly as terrifying as he normally does.

The 50 Greatest Marvel Cinematic Universe Moments

Again, do we need to point out the amount of jokes he made? It was another origin story that showcased an immature Stephen Strange learning how to use magical abilities and become the Sorcerer Supreme.

However, he not only learned to become a selfless hero, but also how to utilize these new powers responsibly. In the comics, Doctor Strange's origin was much more defined. People died on his watch, he blamed himself for it, and became colder as a result. In the movie, it's just assumed that he's cold because he thinks he's a hotshot.

Furthermore, Doctor Strange was renowned because of his tendency to pop in and out of other Marvel Comics adventures, something that the film wasn't able to explore because it was an origin story.

50) Shawarma — Avengers Assemble

Danny Rand was a child that had a lot of unfortunate circumstances happen to him something not very surprising for a superhero origin story. His parents died in a plane crash and he only lived because the monks of K'un Lun took him in, gave him a home, and taught him how to fight. This story was consistent through the MCU version and the comics, but the reason Iron Fist is on this list is that the show doesn't explore any of it -- everything exists only in name. Never do we get to see time spent in the mystical city, nor do we see him taking part in his legendary battle with the dragon Shou-Lao.

Furthermore, perhaps the greatest travesty of the show, we don't get to see him in his trademark Iron Fist costume. Believe it or not, the MCU's take on Iron Man was drastically different from what the comics proposed. In the pages, Tony Stark was a fairly successful businessman who had his life turned upside down when shrapnel crawled closer to his heart. Fairly recognizable so far, but after that event, he became extremely depressed and alcoholic. While both versions of Tony Stark had some pride issues, the movie version took it to much greater extremes.

He would often put others in danger just so he could live out his vision. In the comics, he showed much more concern for other people and had a much better time becoming a team player. The MCU has a consistent problem with making their villains uninspired and lame. In that movie, he was simply a bad guy to fight. He was the leader of the Dark Elves who waged war on Asgard thousands of years in the past and was after an Infinity Stone.

In the comics, Malekith was sold as a child by his mother and was trained in the Dark Arts, which established him as a formidable villain. He often struck deals with Loki and Surtur to destroy the Asgardians. We could do this all day. The Big Apple has been devastated. Iron Man has been almost turned into Dead Man. Making an impact as a supporting character in an MCU film is not an easy thing to do what with, you know, all those super-powered folk flying around and punching people really hard. Nobody else has broken the fourth wall in the MCU, before or since, and the message is clear: One of the first action sequences Shane Black and Drew Pearce talked about when writing Iron Man 3 , this scene in which Iron Man saves a group of White House staffers from falling to their doom is, as Tony Stark himself suggests, named after the famous toy where you interlink a group of toy monkeys.

The crackling script punctures pomposity at every turn, while the stylish and colourful visuals are like a splash panel come to life. All through Age Of Ultron , Whedon seems to be setting up Hawkeye for a fatal fall we meet his wife, he talks incessantly of future plans , only to shift his focus onto the young Avenger at the last minute. Outsmarted by Adrian Toomes.

Abandoned by Tony Stark. Trapped under a ton or two of collapsed rubble. This is where the boy Peter needs to become a man. Dormammu kills Strange instantly… only for the master of the mystic arts to resurrect himself, again and again. And again and again, for good measure.

There's No Way You'll Be Able To Name All These MCU Characters

Strange has imprisoned them both in a time loop that will only end if Dormammu agrees to said bargain. Some of those deaths Impaled! Others just look ridiculously, undeniably, totally badass. Peter Parker, having defeated The Vulture and finally redeemed himself as a hero, returns to his Queens apartment to find Tony Stark has re-bestowed his souped-up Spider-Man suit. Then Aunt May appears in the frame, and the film abruptly ends — mid-curse. If you thought Ant-Man was just the origin story for Ant-Man, this mid-credits scene proved you wrong.

The first post credits sting, and possibly still the best. Certainly, the most important. Kevin Feige made his intentions clear right from the start and almost unbelievably where most shared cinematic universes stumble early followed it through with style. African hair is a political issue, one that is summed up when Okoye, shaven-headed by choice, throws her detested wig at an attacker mid-fight.

But it creates a perfect distraction and allows Okoye to put social expectations to a useful end. In a film of intensely giffable moments, this perhaps takes the biscuit: Yes, its protagonist is an Indiana Jones-ish rogue, stalking ruins for a much-coveted MacGuffin. That fight happening in mid-air, as the case plummets from a crashing helicopter. The gags are wonderful, too: The calm before the Ultron-shaped storm. Which makes what comes next and not just in Ultron , but as the team turn on each other in Civil War all the more poignant and heart-breaking.

Not bad for some drunken gestures of bravado. While Q merely waved deadly gadgets at Bond, Shuri figures that her brother can survive a little pummelling and goads him into acting the guinea pig to her latest take on his suit. Super soldier serum or no, Steve Rogers was always Captain America. Nowhere is that more evident than in this moment when a puny, pre-serum Steve takes on a bully.

Having tried to fend off his larger foe with a bin lid-cum-shield, Rogers gets the stuffing knocked out of him, only to rise up for a second helping. And that one statement becomes the line that defines Captain America. The event that truly brought the Avengers together. The upside is that his death sparks the gang into action, while the character secretly got to live on after being revived in TV series Agents of S.

Among the zillion quips in the Guardians sequel, one stood out: And he has a whole lotta scars Frankly, it was robbed. The Hulk has always been about control, an eternal game of chess between Bruce Banner and his not-so-jolly green pal.
