While this is massive word for Marvel fans everywhere , it also means a pile of new shows and characters are going to make the ground run for this forthcoming phase angle . Typically , the   heroes of the MCU have master the silver screen , but , more recently , a new type of   character has taken center stage : the anti - hero .

Anti - submarine sandwich toe the railway line between morally just and virtuously grey , always gliding in the halfway ground , virtually always breaking the law to do what is right in the process . Over the course of four MCU phase , there have been a multitude of characters , many of which , like the Scarlet Witch or Loki , have been virtuously grey anti - wedge .

Black Widow

Trained to be an assassin by the Red Room , Natasha was only recruit to SHIELD after she realized the wrongdoing of her ways and the base training she underwent . Black Widow used her instincts and contend attainment on the Avengers , but her method were , at times , confutable for a hero . Compared to other anti - hero , she was fully aware of her darker by and had since been on a mission to do more right .

ByAvengers : Endgame , Natasha has amply redeemed herself from her past , and her sacrifice was her final enactment of buyback after years of receive " red in her ledger . " gratuitous to say , Natasha ’s character was always fluctuating over the years , but at long last Natasha completely redeemed herself .

Ronin

After losing his family to Thanos ’s snap , Clint Barton goes on a killing fling , reenact revenge on those who he guess merit it . During these vista , fans see a moody side to Clint that was not antecedently assure before .

While Clint , like Bucky , attempted to make damages with his past inHawkeye , characters , like Maya Lopez , reopened the retiring injury of his sentence as Ronin . Even though Clint has sworn to have put Ronin behind him , there is no relation whether Barton would take that courtship out again .

Hulk

Though Bruce Banner has learned to live cohesively with the out - of - controller green rage monster as Professor Hulk , there is no forgiving the past . Though it was never his intention , Hulk has a history of putting civilian in harm ’s way as well as cause emotional and physical damage to some of the Avengers .

Taiki Waititi’sThor : Ragnaroksolidified Hulk ’s name on the anti - hero list . Though the Hulk side has personal issues with Thor , especially in the Sakaar arena , he winds up not only helping Thor but accepting that there are two region of him . While Bruce has Hulk under wraps as of now , there is still no secern what might be let out in the future tense .

The Winter Solider

James Buchanan Barnes was actually considered a sub until he was captured by Hydra duringCaptain America : The First Avengerand forced to become a super soldier . After being induced with a mind - alter serum , Bucky ’s animalism and mental country changed to the point where James could no longer be seen .

Over the years , and most recently inFalcon and the Winter Solider , Bucky has add up to footing with the two sides of himself , learning   to make indemnity with his yesteryear . What is admirable on Bucky ’s part is that   he continue to make progress by fail to therapy and establishing a   friendship with Sam ’s Captain America .

Drax

Probably one of the most concrete thinker in the MCU , however at the core , he has a proficient heart and care for those whom he trusts . That order , this tough guardian did not always have a clean phonograph recording .

Drax ’s story is one that is quite deplorable , but the   actions to make up for that vacuum in his life , have , without a doubt , been morally unjustified . As of in good order now , however , Drax endure on par with the rest of the Guardians ; morally good until something come up .

Peter Quill

Peter Quill is always toe the line between the protector of the galaxy and a disorderly , potentially destructive group . Raised by Revengers , it is no wonder Peter turned out as a balance between bedlam and kind - heartedness . Of course , he is a famous outlaw in the galaxy , which means his actions were not always heroic .

Things alter the moment he joined the Guardians of the Galaxy . With Peter Quill at the helm of the Guardians , a former thief and music lover , his   squad is always verging on the either breaking the rules or save the day .

Gamora

As the adoptive daughter of Titan Thanos , Gamora always delivered on his father ’s threatening pursuits , which is why he sent her to do Ronin ’s command for the Power Stone . Though she has   committed some wrongdoings , she only did it to survive Thanos ' control and waited for the right time to betray him .

Though she was not always larger-than-life , her business concern about the universe ’s existence and Thano ’s ambition demonstrate that she did wish about the fate of humanity . Given that the original Gamora ’s character spark was complete in one of thebest MCU movies , it is punishing to say where this new prison term - traveling Gamora stands and what problems she might pose to the Guardians in the future .

Nebula

Probably one of the more trigger - happy Guardians is Nebula , the psychotic assassin who also happens to be the daughter of Thanos . Initially , Nebula started as a junior-grade resister who wanted to kill her baby to prove her intensity to her father . But , things changed as she recognise her goals would extend to nothing and turned against Thanos .

Since joining the Guardians , there is no deny that Nebula has had her redemption by   helping the Avengers , defend her father , and campaign herself . She ranks as one of the most complex anti - heroes , whose elusive attitude and action do not take aside some of her late good deed .

M’Baku

M’Baku , leader of the Jabari Tribe , sequester his clan away from the mainstream Wakandians . While M’Baku did   not agree with the reign of T’Challa , he was not about to let Wakanda fall , in bothBlack Pantherand inInfinity War .

InBlack Panther , M’Bakunot   only helps resurrect T’Challa from his injuries , but he also attend to in defeat Erik Killmonger , one of thebest supervillain performance in Marvel movies . He has since become a reliable ally , and their earlier past with the Wakandans further shows the grandness of discreetness and alinement , solve the past history of their fathers .

Yelena Belova

Yelena , like her baby Natasha , was a former spy with the Red Room Program . She was train to be an assassin , making her deadly if confronted by her . During the two task she was feature in , Yelena proved to be move by her own actions , no matter if they were justified .

Like her sister , she has also pull heinous act under the order of Dreykov .
