10 Marvel Characters Whose Lives With Full Of Tragedies

As the old saying goes, you can't always get what you want. But the following cast of MCU characters just can't seem to get a break. What do the Marvel Cinematic Universe's cosmic overlords have against these people? Perhaps moviegoers could try to send some positive energy their way to help them turn things around.
Sharon Carter was only attempting to help the noblest superhero of them all, and as a result, she was exiled from her homeland. Thor seemingly lost all of his treasure, his family members, his homeland, and his eye, or Nebula spent most of her life trying to gain love and respect from Thanos, but it went nowhere. There are others having catastrophic incidents in their lives, and below are the 10 Marvel characters whose lives with full of tragedies.

In Thor: The Dark World, his mother is stabbed to death. In Thor: Ragnarok, his father vanished completely. Thanos choked his sibling to death at the start of Avengers: Infinity War. Surtur defeated Asgard, Hela defeated the Warriors Three, and the Mad Titan also defeated Heimdall.

2. The Winter Soldier Was Brainwashed To Become A Terminator And Was Blamed On Bombing That He Didn't Do

After falling off the helicopter, he would be cryogenically frozen for the next 70 years, only to be released to kill targets for his masters.
What makes matters worse is that Bucky recalls every single person he killed as the Winter Soldier. How do you live with yourself knowing how much misery you unwittingly caused? Then, in Captain America: Civil War, Zemo frames him as he begins to break free from the Winter Soldier.

3. Scarlet Witch's Entire Life Is Full Of Tragedy And Loss

Wanda's life has been nothing but a seemingly never-ending series of misfortunes. When she was a child, her parents were killed in a bombing. During the Battle of Sokovia, her brother was killed.
During the first scene of Captain America: Civil War, she mistakenly killed a large number of civilians. She fell in love with Vision, but had to kill him at the end of Infinity War before Thanos resurrected him... only to kill him again. How much heartache can a single person take?

4. Nebula Spent Her Life To Gain Love From Thanos, But It Went Nowhere

Thanos would "upgrade" her by disassembling her body. Nebula is so devastated and anxious for his praise that she will go to any length to gain his approval. Thanos gathered the Infinity Stones and snapped most of them out of existence just as she was getting closer to the Guardians of the Galaxy as a family.

5. Loki Just Ends Up Being One Of The Unhappiest Characters In The MCU

Thanos snaps his neck just as he was changing to a positive life, getting on his brother's good side, and discovering the life of a hero that suited him. Even after being given a second chance in Avengers: Endgame and Loki, things never seem to go right for this ice giant. Sylvie, the one person with whom he appears to have had genuine feelings, betrays him in order to murder He Who Remains and set the chaotic multiverse free.

6. Scott Lang Lost His Family And Got Stuck In The Quantum Realm

While he was in prison, his wife divorced him, leaving him estranged from their daughter. After reconciling with his family in Ant-Man, he heeded Steve Rogers' call in Captain America: Civil War, only to be sent back into prison.
The events of Ant-Man and the Wasp restored his relationship with his family and loved ones, but the film's conclusion left Scott trapped in the Quantum Realm with no way out. His daughter had aged five years by the time he returned, which must have been difficult to accept.

7. Phil Coulson Was Gone To Inspire The Avengers And Had His Life Tougher After That

Even after being stabbed by Loki, Coulson was not allowed to rest peacefully. S.H.I.E.L.D. employed Project T.A.H.I.T.I.'s experimental medications to resurrect Coulson, causing him tremendous mental suffering in the process. He implored the physicians who were treating him at the time to just let him die over and over again.
What a terrifying experience. Then he was subjected to all of the madness of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series. Couldn't we have simply placed the man to rest and spared him the suffering?

8. Vision Has No Chance To Discover Himself Even After 3 Times Of Perishment

Vision didn't get much screen time in the MCU before WandaVision arrived on Disney+ and set the world on fire. He was born near the end of Avengers: Age of Ultron, fought with Iron Man in Captain America: Civil War, and was killed twice in Avengers: Infinity War.
With the original Vision receiving a nice send-off in the final episode of WandaVision, perhaps the new version of the character (the one with the restored vibranium body) will be able to figure out his true place in the universe during his time in the MCU.

9. Apart From Undergoing Alzheimer's Disease, How Does Peggy Carter Feel When She Knows Cap Kissed His Niece

Steve Rogers had to go and do the honourable thing of risking his life to save an untold number of innocent people just when Peggy Carter thought she had found the man she would spend the rest of her life with. Isn't Captain America the nicest boy in the world? To make matters worse, she was conversing with Steve when he crashed the plane into the ice.

10. Sharon Carter Was Deemed A Fugitive And Lost Peggy Carter

Sharon found herself at the center of the battle against Hydra in Captain America: The Winter Soldier after following her adored great aunt into service as a member of S.H.I.E.L.D.
She found herself working for the CIA after S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded, an organization she would betray by assisting Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, and Sam Wilson in reclaiming their equipment from the government in Captain America: Civil War. Oh, and her Aunt Peggy died in the movie. Sharon retreated to Madripoor after the CIA treachery and lived in exile for years, fearful of what the US government would do to her if she was caught.
