Summary
TheAvengersare literally known as Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes , as they are a squad consist of the hardy and the bluff superheroes in the Marvel Universe who are uncoerced to put their life on the line of merchandise to save the world from any and every menace , no matter how dangerous that terror might be . But , that does n’t mean every penis is a good person , and it decidedly does n’t mean they ’ve always been a good person .
While some superheroes are good through - and - through , a turn of them first had to find buyback after having expend some time either as an antihero or a full - on villain . Sure , they ’re struggle to protect the Earth now , but that does n’t mean they were n’t needlessly tearing people aside or having a hired man in pleasurable harshness in their past . Some heroes can move beyond their chequer yesteryear by doing an overpowering amount of goodness to make up for it , but others will always have a bun in the oven their past crimes with them , no matter how much good they do ( and others still have stay virtuously ambiguous , even as a member of the Avengers ) . With that said , here are the 10 barbarous Avengers in Marvel Comics traditional knowledge !
10Wolverine
One of the most savage things Logan has ever done to someone - even though they deserved it all - was in reality during one of his most unspectacular funny ladder to date , though one that was incredibly heavy , and had Brobdingnagian wallop . InWolverineVol . 3 # 7 by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez , Logan encounters a couplet of ‘ brush wolf ’ ( or people who smuggle immigrants across the U.S./Mexico boundary line ) . These guy wire took money from families trying to make better lives for themselves , loaded them into the back of a semi truck container , and lock them in , kill all of them . So , after Wolverine stabbed one of the men to dying , he wedge the other one into the container with all the army corps , and locked him inside as well .
Sure , Wolverine has committed much more brutal act than this , and the man he did this to did deserve it , after all . But still , the idea of doing that to someone is stalk , and is decidedly a cruel punishment .
9Red Hulk
Red Hulk , or Thaddeus Ross , has admittedly done some fairly messed up things in Marvel Comics , even without the power of the Red Hulk . However , one of the cruelest things he ’s ever done was during the events ofHulkVol . 2 # 10 - 12 by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness . In those issue , Red Hulk is allowed to handpick a team of super powered individual to combat the Defenders , as he ’s being used by the Elders of the Universe to settle a wager . After he does so , and the conflict is supposed to commence , Red Hulk proceeds to massacre his teammates , and then he go after Galactus ( given his late cosmic office - up ) .
Not only that , but Red Hulk impales Hulk on the destruction of a trident , only bestow to this lark of inhuman treatment - which is made worse by the atonement it fetch him .
8Moon Knight
It ’s unmanageable to immobilise down one instance of pitilessness for this first appearance , as Moon Knight is one of the most hardcore antiheroes in Marvel Comics . However , for at least one of them , it ’s dependable to say that his Erolia minutilla in prison is perhaps whereMoon Knight exhibited the cruel aspects of his nature . InDevil ’s Reign : moonlight Knight#1 by Jed MacKay and Federico Sabbatini , a number of heroes have been arrested and sent to prison house following then - Mayor Wilson Fisk ’s law that made being a superhero in New York City illegal . Once in prison ( and with a stalk white sack with a synodic month scribble on it overcompensate his face ) , Moon Knight get together a fighting ring , where he get out his angriness and frustration on those who ‘ deserve it ’ .
The thing is , though , that Moon Knight was n’t protecting anyone with this ferocity , as these manpower were already in prison . This was wildness for its own interest , meaning it crossed the pedigree from vigilantism to inhuman treatment .
7Namor
It ’s more surprising that Namor end up on the Avengers at all than it is that he ’d end up on this lean . Namor is not a submarine , he is a Billie Jean Moffitt King . He predominate his kingdom with pridefulness and authority , and he ’s willing to do whatever it takes to keep that realm dependable . That ’s why he joins with the Avengers from clock time - to - time to cover world - wide threat , and that ’s why one of the vicious things he ’s ever done is especially heinous , as it was against his own mass - the very people he ’s bank to protect . During the effect ofSecret Empire(by Nick Spencer and Steve McNiven ) , Namor becomes a tyrant . Fearing for Atlantis ’ guard , Namor locks his own people down , keeping them from venturing outside the land , and forbidding them from even questioning why . thing mother so defective , in fact , that Namor ’s cousin Namora had to lead a gyration against him .
While Namor has for certain done other things throughout his mirthful history that are more violently atrocious , this stands out because it ’s Namor demonstrate mercilessness towards his own people .
6Doctor Druid
Funny enough , the bad thing this particular Avenger has done is being an Avenger to begin with - more accurately , lead the Avengers . Doctor Druid is famously the worst Avengers leaderin history , a title he ’s been assigned for a number of reason . Doctor Druid became the leader of the Avengers inAvengers#294 by Walter Simonson and John Buscema , and he did so by work the Avengers ’ minds into vote him drawing card of the squad . Not only that , but Doctor Druid did this after consistently playing genial - use games with the Avengers , entering their minds and influencing their actions without their noesis or consent .
Doctor Druid did n’t seem to know what he was doing was untimely , but that ’s a poor alibi for a grown man who claims to be one of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes , make his actions nothing brusque of savage ( with pressure the Avengers to prevail his betise the cruelest act of all ) .
5Moondragon
Moondragon may be eff to some as a valiant Avenger who not only helped Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes on a number of cosmic adventures , but who also did everything she could to assist the son of a fallen ally - Genis - Vell - infer his cosmic powers when his Father-God - Mar - Vell - could n’t . However , this on the face of it selfless member of the Avengers definitely did n’t start out that way , as Moondragon really made her first appearance as avillain identify Madame MacEvil . Debuting inIron Man#54 by Mike Friedrich , Bill Everett , and George Tuska , Moondragon require to make crossbreed super - soldiers from the DNA of established heroes to process her own villainous desires , and in that effort , she pitted Iron Man and Namor against each other to see who was superior - and which one she would copy .
Forcing two established Avengers to fight each other before even joining the team herself was just vicious , though not an turn of mercilessness Moondragon was n’t able-bodied to redeem herself from .
4Beast
While Moondragon lead off as a scoundrel and became a hero , Beast has recently completed the diametric narrative journey . Hank McCoy was a founding member of the cristal - Men , and eventually link up the Avengers inAvengers#151 ( by Gerry Conway , Jim Shooter , Steve Englehart , and George Perez ) . Being the resident genius on the disco biscuit - man ( as well as a proven badass in engagement ) , Beast had a draw to offer Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes . However , if he hear to conjoin today , the Avengers might not want him . During X - Men ’s Krakoan age , Beast has return into something of a sore scientist , conducting experiments on his fellow mutants like cloning Wolverine , and even being creditworthy for a potential succeeding dystopia after creating a ‘ Beast - Nimrod ’ Sentinel .
Right now in Marvel canyon , Beast is fundamentally a baddie , making his level of cruelty one of the unfit on this inclination , as it ’s actively on-going .
3Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange does n’t just protect the world alongside the Avengers , but also the entire forcible plane as the Sorcerer Supreme . However , he ’s been know to apply his black art in some pretty cruel ways , even if the victims of his wrath technically deserve it . One such instance was inDoctor Strange : The Oath(by Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Marín ) , where Stephen battled a villainous magic - exploiter , leading to the death of the man ’s physical body , which left his cognizance in the astral plane while his stiff was left mangled in the street .
While Doctor Strange was arguably justified in his actions during this plot line , there does n’t seem to be any criminal offence worthy of such otherworldly torment , and - as Sorcerer Supreme and an Avenger - Doctor Strange should have known that .
2Vision
imagination is a synthezoid and long - clip ally and phallus of the Avengers . However , during the events ofThe Visionsstoryline , it ’s fair to say Vision go a little haywire ( indeed , this discharge was seemingly the greatest inspiration behind the hot - action mechanism seriesWandaVision ) . During this plot line , Vision created a married woman , Virginia , and two children , Vin and Viv . When the Avengers sent Vision ’s ‘ brother ’ , Victor , to spy on the family ( as they were rightly worried about his unhinged behavior ) , Victor killed Vin , sparking Vision ’s wrath upon the entire Avengers team .
Like so many other entries on this listing , Vision ’s action were n’t unjustified , they were only vicious , specially given the wide-cut fate . For lack of a better term , Vision was acting wild , and that finally boiled over into violence against the very masses he once ring his kinsperson .
1Captain Marvel
Aside from the obvious lapse in sagaciousness during the events ofCivil War II(an issue which many buff have described as an unwitting assault on Carol Danvers ’ character ) , Captain Marvel unleashed her intimate dark during one of her most vicious storylines in Marvel Comics history : The Last Avenger . kick off inCaptain Marvel#12 by Kelly Thompson and Lee Garbett , The Last Avengershowed Carol viciously aggress her fellow Avengers , and apparently killing them . While it turn out she was n’t actually killing them , Captain Marvel was really fight them , and had to beat each one in a fight to in the end salvage their life from the being who was manipulate her into doing all this in the first place .
This model come from a place of valiancy , but the underlying aggression and iniquity throughout can only be described as cruel .
Sometimes sure circumstances call for a firm hand , and a superhero has no choice but to let out their inner cruelty for the saki of the corking good . Other times , the hero - in - interrogation perfectly has a option in the level of severity they could bring to any given situation , and consciously choose cruelty . One way or the other , these example talk for themselves , making it clear that these 10Avengersare the barbarous in Marvel Comics lore .
