12 Times Avengers Killed Somebody In The MCU, Cruelty Or Justification?

This isn't a competition to see who is the most strong Avenger, as characters like Thor and Captain Marvel would do. We're not asking who isn't scared to get their hands dirty among the heroes. In light of this question, we'll go through some MCU occasions in which our favorite superheroes weren't hesitant to sacrifice a life in the heat of battle.
A word of warning: we're skipping some of the more obvious ones. The armies of Chitauri, the squad wiped out at the end of The Avengers, aren't included. We're not counting the many AI robots they murdered in Age of Ultron's final combat. We're skipping it because we'd be here all day if we included the final battle in Wakanda at the end of Infinity War. These are specific situations in which an Avenger killed someone (or several people) in combats. Below are the 12 times when Avengers killed somebody in the MCU cruelly and justifiably. We are glad to see your comments on whether these actions are cruel or justifiable. Stay tuned.

1. Scarlet Witch Used The Darkhold To Do The Worst Thing In The Multiverse Of Madness

Moreover, She can handle herself in almost any fight because of her extensive and strong power set. As a result, the MCU's creative staff should find a way to take her off the battlefield every now and then. She'd just trash shop otherwise. Consider the battle of Wakanda in Avengers: Infinity War.Proxima Midnight is eventually thrown into one of Thanos' huge war machines known as Threshers, saving Natasha Romanoff's life. As her final act on this planet, she has ripped apart and leaves blue blood on the Black Widow.

2. Black Widow Shot One Of Crossbones's Goons In The Face

When one of Crossbones's villains threatens to dump the compound, releasing it on the innocent people in the area, Nat steps in to rescue the day: she shoots the person in the face from point-blank range and rushes to the ground to seize the chemical weapon vial before it falls. Unlike other times when she shoots someone in a non-vital body area or likely kills them by collateral damage, Romanoff plainly intended to shoot him in the head.

3. Hawkeye Sliced Through The Yakuza And Other Criminal Organizations As Ronin

The marksman ditched his bow and arrow in favor of a sword and went to town on criminal gangs all over the world. The scene in Endgame where Ronin stabs a man to death in cold blood contrasts sharply with the Barton viewers had seen in the MCU up to that moment.

4. Tony Stark Blasted Savin Through The Heart

Stark vaporizes a hole in Savin's torso where his heart used to be using the unibeam in his Iron Man armor's chest plate. The villain's body is then left aboard the plane moments before it explodes in mid-flight. He was presumably unable to rejuvenate after all of that...

5. Tony Stark Stomped, Crushed, And Burned His Way To Freedom

To be honest, Tony Stark takes a lot of lives in the Iron Man trilogy. Stark, who has a history in military weapons research, has never struck me as the type of superhero who values the lives of his foes as much as the lives of the people he's attempting to save. In Iron Man 3, did he knock out a couple of guys when storming through the Mandarin's compound? Probably. Was it his intention to kill Bucky Barnes at the conclusion of Captain America: Civil War? Absolutely. Did he use his improved armor to smash through a slew of terrorists halfway through the original Iron Man? Yes, indeed.
Stark's initial outburst was the most severe and violent of his superhero career. With a flamethrower, he literally burns them alive. That's something you'd see in an R-rated action picture from the 1980s, not a superhero blockbuster from the 2000s.

6. Bruce Banner Fried Cull Obsidian Against Wakanda's Defense Shield

As a result, it is up to Banner to take on the ruthless Cull Obsidian. After a struggle in which the armored Banner is nearly defeated by Thanos' ally, the brilliant scientist dispatches Cull Obsidian. Banner shoots his opponent through the Wakandan defense shield with one of the Hulkbuster's armored gauntlets, killing him in seconds.

7. Captain America Killed Several Hydra Agents During WWII

He fires his gun a lot during that action montage, and it's safe to presume at least a few individuals died as a result of Cap's firing. Captain America fought in a horrible war decades before becoming an Avenger, which is what we're arguing. He undoubtedly murdered some people.

8. Black Panther Stabbed Killmonger In The Ribs

T'Challa even indicates that the uber-violent Killmonger may have been freed from his fate, but the villain decided to die rather than spend the rest of his days imprisoned. Killmonger did urge his cousin to lead Wakanda out of its self-imposed exile, but was there any good that came out of it all?

9. Ant-Man Sent Yellowjacket To A Place Nothing Can Come Back From

Look, Yellowjacket got what he deserved. All bets are off when you threaten someone's child. "You'll have to help daddy pay for his faults," he says to Cassie Lang. So, what was Scott Lang's plan? Allow Yellowjacket to murder Cassie? That's correct. Scott shuts off the regulator on his Ant-Man costume since he has no other option than to shrink inside the Yellowjacket outfit and sabotage it from the inside.
As a result, Darren Cross's Yellowjacket suit collapses in on itself, mutilating his body as it shrinks to subatomic proportions. Is Yellowjacket really no longer alive? Is he simply hanging out in the Quantum Realm like Janet van Dyne has been doing for years? No idea! But Scott didn't mind seeing the guy very certainly die, and that's all that matters.

10. Vision Stabbed Corvus Glaive With His Own Spear

Vision may have a synthezoid's Vibranium body, but he has the immortal spirit of a human. At the end of Avengers: Infinity War, he is on the verge of death, hardly able to stand, yet he still manages to save Steve Rogers' life. Corvus Glaive will undoubtedly kill Captain America. However, Vision makes his way over to Rogers and Glaive, seizes the alien's spear, and drives it right through his heart.
Did Vision strike it rich with his stabbing location? Obviously. Corvus Glaive had a heart that could have been anywhere in his chest! Vision, congratulations.

11. Peter Parker Came Up With The Plan To Freeze Ebony Maw In Space

Iron Man, Spider-Man, and the Cloak of Levitation join forces to save Doctor Strange from Ebony Maw, launching the formidable Black Order member into space's freezing void. If there ever was a surefire death, this is it. And who devised this scheme? Peter Parker, please! For crying out loud, he stole it from the Alien franchise's second feature.

12. Vision Blasted Ultron Out Of Existence

As the newly intelligent Avenger who argues that the "doomed" human race is worth saving and maintaining, Paul Bettany hits it out of the park. He explains to Ultron, "A thing isn't wonderful because it lasts." Vision appears to put a stop to Ultron for good as his creator (of sorts) lunges at him.
