It’s staggering to think that 10 years ago, the Marvel Cinematic Universe was yet to assemble any Avengers.
Now, 24 films later – and with the “epic conclusion” reached in Endgame, which is celebrating its first anniversary – the film series has introduced 27 world-saving characters.
After the introduction of the originals – including Iron Man, Captain America and Black Widow – it seemed unlikely that characters introduced in future films would rank alongside them.
It turns out that assumption was wildly incorrect – thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther and the MCU’s first female-led film Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson, those originals have been given a run for their money.
Below, we rank every single Avenger (NB: we’ve omitted SHIELD agents Nick Fury, Phil Coulson and Maria Hill).

Avengers: Endgame is available to watch on NOW TV and Disney+.
