Phase Four of theMarvel Cinematic Universecontinues to elaborate into the far scope of the Brobdingnagian cosmos asMs . Marvelexplores Kamala Khan ’s new power . This exploration will be enhanced even more whenThor : Love and Thunderarrives in theaters but there ’s something still worth appreciate about the more grounded area of the dealership .

Some of the full MCU write up have been focus on the many spies and agents also operate as heroes . Within numerous organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. or the Black Widows , there are many adept and deadly spy . take in their talents and responsibility , a few stand out as the best .

Nakia

Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o played Nakia , a Wakandan covert agent and T’Challa ’s x - lover , inBlack Panther . Nakia is different than her protagonist , Okoye , or the members of the Dora Milaje as usher inThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier . Her mission as a War Dog have sent her all over the universe , allowing her to secretly witness the hardships life has dealt with so many .

Interestingly , she shares the same finish as Killmonger as she also wants to use the engineering science and furtherance of Wakanda to aid the weak and poor , though they disagree greatly in their method for achieving this . Her Wakandan applied science aid solidify her as one of the best spies in the MCU along with her wits and talents as a fighter – however , her function might convert inBlack Panther : Wakanda Forever , since she is establish on a Black Panther villain .

Quake (Daisy Johnson)

As would be don from a show calledAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , it introduced numerous great spies , including Phil Coulson , Bobbi Morse , and Grant Ward . However , beating them out is Daisy Johnson aka Quake , played by Chloe Bennet . Over the trend of the series , she acquire immensely – going from a hacker to a powerful inhuman to a veteran undercover agent journey across time and place .

She gains her earth - shake powers through terrigenisis in season 2 , and while that makes her very formidable , her underlying inventiveness and hacking ability mark her as a great undercover agent even more . Like several of her fellow agent , she is a character from the disbandedMarvel Television who fans would love to see again in the MCU – perhapsSecret Invasionholds a surprise for pronounce rooter .

Black Widow (Yelena Belova)

The Black Widow computer program was all about training the next generation of assassins and spies , thus making Yelena Belova extremely dangerous . She would   outrank higher   if it was n’t already so stacked with more - experienced veterans . However , that will surely change sinceYelena   can go forward to showcase her talents inThunderboltsand other MCU properties .

She does have a slightly dissimilar approach to espionage than her sister , Natasha , which is what makes her such an exciting character to watch go forward . As shown in bothBlack WidowandHawkeye , she is a very adept fighter , often exploit her opposite ’s weaknesses against them – plus she has the upgraded gear wheel supply by The Contessa now .

Sharon Carter

year of training in SHIELD , then the CIA , and now on her own as the mystifying Power Broker guarantees Sharon Carter her spot in this ranking . Like her corking - aunty Peggy , one of the beginner of SHIELD , she has a knack for espionage – as shown inCaptain America : The Winter Soldierwhen she beat as his gracious neighbor without his knowledge even though he ’s a high - order official in SHIELD .

The events of the Blip , which she took reward of to seemingly disappear like one-half and the world ’s inhabitants , changed her . While in Madripoor , she became the Power Broker and adopted an by chance counter persona . However , these event only made her a in effect covert agent , as she is more ruthless and resourceful . She was capable to hide her true personal identity and is   infiltrating the system to turn a profit from it .

Hawkeye (Clint Barton)

Like many on and off this list , Clint Barton was not only a undercover agent before he became the superhero Hawkeye , but he was also an assassin . He was helping hand - picked by Nick Fury to join SHIELD , and since then became one of the organization ’s most prolific special agent , along with his wife , Laura aka Agent 19 . Of course , his technique with the bow and arrow is what set up him apart , and made him so deadly .

Hawkeye was instrumental in recruiting Natasha Romanoff from the KBG to SHIELD , give her the welfare of the doubt – a determination that ended up relieve the macrocosm . Together , the two of them were a practically unstoppable force . Should he also train Kate Bishop in espionage along with how to be a superhero without great power , he could help get her quick to be part of a Secret Avengers team .

Maria Hill

Maria Hill has been systematically disregarded throughout much of the MCU . While she ’s not an avenger like Black Widow , she is clearly an exceedingly gifted spy and loss leader . Otherwise , Nick Fury would n’t have take her as his second - in - bidding and probable heir , if SHIELD had n’t fall aside .

Her action inCaptain America : The Winter Soldier-   her rescue of Steve , Nat , and Sam from HYDRA agent in special – absolutely showcase why she is merit of her positioning here . Her approaching involvement inSecret Invasionand more projects down the telephone line will hopefully reenforce this .

Melinda May

FromAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , there is no agent better than Agent Melinda May , run by Disney all - asterisk Ming - Na Wen . In the pilot episode , she has moved on from her lifetime – shown later to be due to a mission last terribly incorrect – and she   then work in governing for SHIELD , but Coulson dragged her back from retirement . Quickly she lay down herself as a unnerving enemy , but as the show come along she start out better and good .

In terms of handwriting - to - hand fighting , May is one of the well in the enfranchisement , probably rivaling Hawkeye in his prime and the Black Widows . She could even give some superpowered agents a outpouring for their money . What makes her even more venomous is that she is so calm and collected , not let things fray her too much .

Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes)

All this and his nifty alloy arm have solidified him as one of the deadliest the great unwashed on Earth . Thankfully , he is now using his talents to do good as a hero –   although his name being dropped forThunderboltsmight suggest a more anti - heroic personation returning .

Nick Fury

Samuel L. Jackson got his start as Nick Fury inIron Manbackone of the good cameo in the MCU . He is not the distinctive undercover agent in comparison to Black Widow or Agent May – who can really commingle in with a crew with an eye patch – but he makes it work better than anybody . Even after the fall of SHIELD and his faked end , he is still finding way to ensure things from the phantasm .

What might make him one of the respectable spies is in reality his untrusting nature . Due to that , he investigates everyone and everything exhaustively and unrelentingly . That helped him formulate a firm circle of confidence to rely on . moreover , his connections have helped him get some of the best and most hefty techs . Secret Invasionwill surely showcase how smashing a spy Nick Fury is on a newer scale .

Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff)

There can be no undercover agent at this point well than Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow . While Coulson would be realize as the first spy introduced in the MCU , she would certainly follow to be known as the most crucial . Her training in the Red Room hone her as an assassin and covert agent , and when she was given the chance , she took her natural endowment to SHIELD .

Natasha was super resourceful , diligent , and secretive – the markings of both a great undercover agent and superhero . She could even go toe - to - toe with some of the better battler and she ’d never give up , no matter of if they were a normal human like her or a crazy Titan like Thanos . Although she is gone , she still resist tall in first place .
