20 Fascinating Details About Underestimated Marvel Characters That Make You Open-Mouthed

Not everyone can be an iconic hero like Captain America or an epic villain like Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This isn't to say that the minor characters aren't important. In fact, the opposite is true. Fans online are sharing all kinds of great minor tastes about the MCU's more undervalued faces to help shed some light on what makes them so amazing. When Korg hangs out with the melancholy, out-of-shape Thor in Avengers: Endgame, for example, you can see him growing moss on his rocky form if you look closely. These subtleties can sometimes be lost in the backdrop.
Before Drax sneaks up on Quill aboard the Milano in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, you can see him blending in with his surroundings. There are even examples that span multiple films. Wong tells Stephen in Doctor Strange that people only think he's hilarious because he employs them. Doctor Strange shoots a similar remark at Tony Stark in Infinity War. Below are the 20 interesting details about underestimated Marvel characters.
