Who is the most inspirational character in the MCU?

 “So no matter what, I promise you…..If you need us, if you need me, I’ll be there.”

- Captain America.

The vulnerability, courage, and significance of Captain America's words, one of Marvel's most inspirational characters, always make me shudder.

“My faiths in people, I guess. Individuals. And I'm happy to say that, for the most part, they haven't let me down. Which is why I can't let them down either.”

Because Captain America epitomizes the qualities of a true leader, he never leaves anyone behind.


Numerous soldiers were taken hostage by HYDRA in Captain America: The First Avenger, but despite knowing where the soldiers were, the US army chose not to dispatch a rescue operation. Despite being outnumbered, unarmed, and inexperienced, Captain America broke into the HYDRA base on his own and without any orders in order to rescue the many soldiers who had been taken prisoner.


In the process, he found someone he thought he lost, his pal, Bucky.

Under American law, the US army was prohibited from forming alliances with other countries during World War II. However, during his rescue expedition, Captain America rescued several more countries, like the French, Russians, British, etc.

Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Natasha: “If Stark finds a way to blow this rock……”

Captain America: “Not till everyone’s safe”

Natasha: “Everyone up here versus everyone down there? There’s no math there.”

Captain America: “I’m not leaving this rock with one civilian on it.”

Not to mention that Captain America disobeyed his allies' advice in order to clear Bucky of the charges against him. Cap didn't care if his image was compromised; he only did what was right. He never gave up on Bucky even after he had been corrupted.


Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Steve Rogers: Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, this is Steve Rogers. You've heard a lot about me over the last few days. Some of you were even ordered to hunt me down. But I think it's time to tell the truth. S.H.I.E.L.D. is not what we thought it was. It's been taken over by HYDRA. Alexander Pierce is their leader. The S.T.R.I.K.E. and Insight crew are HYDRA as well. I don't know how many more, but I know they're in the building. They could be standing right next to you. They almost have what they want. Absolute control. They shot Nick Fury. And it won't end there. If you launch those helicarriers today, HYDRA will be able to kill anyone that stands in their way. Unless we stop them. I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not.

Sam Wilson: Did you write that down first, or was it off the top of your head?


Steve had the power to inspire others with his words alone, after he gave the above speech, hundreds of shield agents decided to side with him. Only by believing Cap’s word of mouth, many of them were even ready to give their lives for the cause and several even died.

Avengers: Infinity War.

Two Black Order members up against two of the MCU’s most formidable Avengers.

Yet, both of these strong Avengers were comforted by,

Captain Steven Rogers, the one and only.

That’s the power of Captain America.

A leader to look up to.

Which Avenger would be the scariest if turned evil?

Who would be the scariest is the question being posed here, not who would be the most powerful. It's a challenging question. However, I believe I would have to choose Captain America. I can imagine you shaking your head at me. How is Cap a more terrifying antagonist than, say, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, or Scarlet Witch? That's easy. Captain America is the character I chose since he is the least corruptible. Consider this. The other Avengers members are amply demonstrated to be humanly fallible: Who knows what sort of things Black Widow did while she worked against SHIELD. After losing his family, Hawkeye turned into a ronin who slaughtered criminals with shocking brutality. Iron Man, who has occasionally shown himself to be incredibly egotistical and conceited, he also created Ultron. If Hulk is not restrained, he becomes a monster. As a result of his disobedience and arrogance, Thor has a tendency to brag and has spent a good deal of time being unworthy. Captain America not so...

Can Dr. Strange use the time-looping strategy on Thanos the way he did against Dormammu?

  No, he cannot Even if he succeeds, it will have no effect on Thanos. What Doctor Strange did to Dormammu is heavily misunderstood. Dr Strange attempted to halt Dormammu's attack by reversing time. However, it was unsuccessful against Dormammu because he was simply out of time. Even reversing all of Earth's time wouldn't be able to save him. As a result, Dr Strange chose this strategy: he locked himself in a time loop, which implies that if he is killed, his time will be reset to the moment before he did it. However, because he couldn't change Dormammu's time, it will appear that the same thing is happening to him over and over again. Dr Strange will experience his “ I’ve come to bargain”  death only once in every loop, while for Dormammu, it will become an annoying repeat. Because Thanos is a physical creature who is not beyond time, if Dr Strange tries this on him, he will not have the same experience as Dormammu. He'll have the same experience as Dr. Strange...

What does the vision of OG 6 Avengers in Age of Ultron tell us? Was it a vision of their future?

Undoubtedly, it was a glimpse into the future. Age of Ultron opens with Tony Stark seeing a picture of the World being overtaken by Chitauri and a mass of fallen Avengers. Tony wasn't the only one who had visions, the premonition of what was to come was also experienced by other 4 OG avengers, these visions clearly connected with what happed in Infinity War and Endgame. For Tony it was nightmare, he was shown that what could happen if he did not volunteer. The very first glimpse we get is of Hulk, who no one thought could be defeated, despite the fact that he was completely decimated. However, he was visibly breathing, indicating that he wasn't dead. This hinted at what would happen in Infinity War, specifically, Hulk losing the fight to Thanos. Thor is lying down with his eyes closed, implying that he is unconscious rather than dead. You could also argue that Mjolnir is just out of reach for Thor, which could be a hint as to how he lost Mjolnir in Thor: Ragnarok, although that...
