list for this list we’ll be looking at

comics that define the heroes that

Wolverine rescues rogue x-men Wolverine
aka Logan spends a lot of his first film
appearance bonding with rogue aka Murray
although their bond is tested such as
when he accidentally stabbed her and she
was forced to absorb his power to heal
herself it’s one of the central
emotional currents that runs through the
story during the movies climax rogue is
nearly killed by the strain Magneto’s
machine puts on her in an attempt to
save her
Wolverine touches her skin directly
risking death by loss of healing powers
in order to save her he may be immortal
but it’s when he’s in mortal danger that
he’s at his most heroic
[Music]
number nine Peter risks his life for
Gomorrah
given that he was raised by a group of
interplanetary criminals who kidnapped
him after his mother died Peter quill is
not the most courageous selfless or even
well-adjusted of guys throughout the
beginning of the first Guardians film
Peter is only interested in looking out
for himself and only considers helping
others if they can help him
however when Kimura is trapped in the
vacuum of space Peter risks his life to
give her his oxygen mask granted he does
have a back-up plan and he’s not exactly
humble about it afterwards but it still
marks his path towards becoming a better
man the orb number 8 you didn’t see that
coming
Avengers age of Ultron didn’t see that’s
coming Pietro Maximoff also known as
Quicksilver is a super-fast metahuman
who along with his sister Wanda allied
themselves with Ultron to get revenge on
Tony Stark upon realizing the scope of
Ultron’s villainy though the siblings
decide to join the Avengers in their
fight against the diabolical machine
throughout the film Quicksilver and
Hawkeye have a bit of an ongoing rivalry
in which one of them says to the other
he didn’t see that coming didn’t see
that coming
in the film’s climactic battle
Quicksilver uses a speed to save Hawkeye
and a civilian from a hail of bullets
demonstrating the true strength of his
character and moving beyond fighting for
revenge or necessity he didn’t see that
coming number 7
yes we’re doing another Wolverine entry
we feel that the characters long
presence on film and extended lifespan
make him more prone to redefining
himself as a hero in his final film
Logan spends much of it reluctantly
helping his cloned daughter Laura reach
other young mutants all while being
hunted by cyborg soldiers once he unites
her with them he feels like he’s done
his duty however upon seeing that she’s
still being hunted Logan pursues the
goons after injecting himself with a
serum that will restore his abilities to
full strength though at a cost for one
number six I’ve come to bargain dr.
strange
despite his profession as a surgeon dr.
Steven strange is predominantly a
self-centered man concerned with his own
interests in improving his own skills
this doesn’t exactly change when he
starts training to become a sorcerer
either by the film’s climax strange
comes to understand an important lesson
thanks to the advice of the ancient one
taking that advice to heart
strange confronts the powerful Dormammu
in the Dark Dimension asking to bargain
Dormammu promptly kills him but strange
soon returns Dormammu
I’ve come to bargain he has trapped them
in a time loop choosing to sacrifice his
life over and over to keep earth safe
luckily Dormammu has a short attention
span and your assault on my world never
come back
do it and I’ll break the loop number
five spider-man stops a train spider-man
– you have a train to catch
a battle between spider-man and Doctor
Octopus leads to a train full of people
getting caught in the middle Doc Ock
ends up sabotaging the train’s brakes
forcing his opponent to choose between
pursuing him and saving the people on
the runaway vehicle Peter Parker spends
much of the film doubting himself and
his ability to continue being spider-man
due to a temporary loss in his powers in
this moment though Peter puts his body
and life on the line to save the
passengers in an impressive display of
heroism the passengers try to return the
favor but aren’t quite as successful you
want to get to him you got to go through
me
and me me too number four groups
sacrifice guardians of the galaxy when
did you learn to do it pretty sure the
answer is I am Groot at first glance
group doesn’t seem all that complex he’s
a big talking tree with a very limited
vocabulary from his behavior he appears
easygoing and somewhat childlike
although given two outbursts of violence
during dangerous situations however the
true measure of the plant man is
revealed close to the conclusion of
guardians of the galaxy when the group
is aboard a crashing spaceship to
protect the others
Groot expands his wooden body to
encompass them and protect them from the
impact at the cost of his life because
they are grouped or may be friends
[Music]
number three facing the destroyer or so
take mine and end this
despite being inspired by the Norse god
of thunder Thor still has a lot of
growing up to do in his first MCU film
after a rash decision early on
Thor’s father Odin deprives him of his
abilities and sends him to earth to
teach him a lesson near the film’s
climax
Thor’s villainous brother Loki sends a
powerful mechanical monster called the
destroyer to earth upon seeing the
destruction his presence has caused Thor
offers his own life to appease Loki
which leads to the deep our God being
[Music]
yet
Thor’s sacrifice demonstrates his
worthiness and leads to the restoration
of his powers
number two Tony Stark escapes the cave
Iron Man while demonstrating his
products for the military weapons
manufacturer Tony Stark is kidnapped and
imprisoned by terrorists during his
captivity he comes to understand the
effects his weapons have to escape he
constructs an armored suit and battles
the terrorists as a genius billionaire
Tony has never had to fight for himself
however he proves here that not only can
he fight but he fights well especially
when motivated to help others for a
change though Tony experiences another
defining moment when he essentially
sacrifices himself to shut the wormhole
in the Avengers we chose this moment as
it’s when he truly became Iron Man my
turn number one I can do this all day
Captain America franchise I can do this
all day Steve Rogers is a skinny kid
from Brooklyn who just wants to do his
part for the war effort in the first
Captain America film yet his stature
prevents him from being recruited even
if he has the right character at a movie
theater
Roger stands up to a disruptive bully
meeting his receiving a beating outside
no matter how many times he gets knocked
down though Steve gets back up again
finally telling the bully I can do this
all day although he proves his courage
once he finally reaches the army by
jumping on a grenade
it’s Steve’s determination to never give
up that continues to define him once
he’s become Captain America do you agree
