Iron Man - Marvel Studios' first superhero, Tony Stark saves the universe as Iron Man one last

time in
Avengers: Endgame by solving the issues of time travel and using the Infinity Stones to wipe out Thanos
and his army.

Captain America - As the first Avenger, Captain America fulfills his duty that began decades before. After
becoming worthy of wielding Mjolnir, Steve Rogers returns to the love of his life in the 1940s/1950s.

Thor - Considered a failure at the start of Avengers: Endgame, Thor, aka the God of Thunder, finds the
courage to face Thanos once again in the final battle and help defeat the Mad Titan once and for all. In
the end, Thor understands what it truly means to be king... by not being one anymore.

Hawkeye - In the years since losing his family in the Decimation, Clint Barton leaves behind his identity
as the superhero Hawkeye and becomes Ronin, hunting down cartels and gangs around the world. But
the hope of seeing his family again brings him back into the fold.

Hulk - After Infinity War, Bruce Banner spent 18 months figuring out how to merge the brains and the
brawn together to create Professor Hulk. And he becomes vital to not only figuring out time travel but
also making sure that they don't doom the universe by creating alternate timelines.

Falcon - Falcon returns to fight alongside Captain America one last time in Avengers: Endgame's final
battle after first being dusted in Infinity War. His voice is the first one audiences hear after the snapped
victims return. Of course, his first line is, "On your left" - a reference to Steve Rogers' line from Captain
America: The Winter Soldier.

War Machine - Col. James Rhodes became War Machine in Iron Man 2 and fought alongside his best
friend, Tony Stark, in that film. And he had the opportunity to do so one more time in Avengers:
Endgame, while also having the experience of time traveling in outer space!

Scarlet Witch - Appearing first in Avengers: Age of Ultron as an adversary, Wanda Maximoff eventually
became one of the Avengers' strongest heroes, with her superpowers coming from the Mind Stone. And
now, she's set to appear in her own TV series, titled WandaVision.

Ant-Man - If it wasn't for a rat, Avengers: Endgame's story wouldn't be possible, and time travel itself
wouldn't have happened without Scott Lang, who returns as Ant-Man (and Giant-Man) in the movie's
final battle. Ant-Man also represents the audience in this film - and for good reason.

Wasp - Hope van Dyne returns after the snap is reversed, and she wastes no time in getting in on the
action as Wasp, even telling "Cap" that she and Ant-Man have the task of getting the Quantum Tunnel
up-and-running covered. Wasp became the MCU's first female leading character in Ant-Man and the
Wasp, and that legacy is continued in Endgame.

Spider-Man - As one of Marvel's fan-favorite characters, Peter Parker came back from his emotional
send-off in Infinity War as Spider-Man (or, more accurately, the Iron Spider). While everyone's future is
up in the air, Spider-Man is at least coming in another movie this summer: Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Star-Lord - Redeeming himself after his fateful moment in Infinity War is Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord,
who's now trying to hold onto his team while also searching for the person he lost to Thanos - Gamora.

Nebula - Perhaps the most underrated character in Avengers: Endgame and the unsung hero in the fight
against Thanos, Nebula returns not once but twice in the movie's final battle - once as her present self
and another as herself from 2014. And she's, unfortunately, forced to kill past self in order to protect her
sister.

Gamora (2014) - Gamora was killed in Infinity War, and that death cannot be undone, just like Black
Widow's death. But Avengers: Endgame brings the past's Gamora into the future and sets up her story
for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Drax - Drax the Destroyer has had one mission: kill Thanos. While he tried and failed to do so in Infinity
War, he managed to complete his task in Avengers: Endgame's final battle by aiding his fellow
superheroes. Now, his path is open, just like Thor's.

Rocket - Rocket was one of the last surviving Guardians in Avengers: Endgame, and when Thor was
down on his luck, it was Rocket who stepped up and helped the Avengers succeed in bringing everyone
back.

Groot - Groot has died twice since first appearing in the MCU in Guardians of the Galaxy - the first time
as a sacrifice and the second time as part of the snap - but he was reunited with Rocket in Avengers:
Endgame's final battle, and they battled Thanos' army together.

Mantis - Mantis is one of the newest members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but her powers came in
handy in Avengers: Infinity War, and they undoubtedly helped some more in Endgame's final battle.
Perhaps she'll be able to use her powers to help Gamora (2014) learn about her other self.

Doctor Strange - Just like Ant-Man, Avengers: Endgame wouldn't have been possible without Doctor
Strange, whose plan was put in place when he gave up the Time Stone in Avengers: Infinity War. While
he didn't have too much to do in Endgame's final battle, he knew exactly what needed to be done in
order to make sure they won - and they did.

Wong - While Doctor Strange was coming back from Titan, Wong took it upon himself to unite the
world's heroes and bring them to the Avengers HQ for the final battle against Thanos.

Black Panther - In an exciting moment, Black Panther is the first major hero to return after the snap, and
he was crucial to getting the Infinity Stones where they need to go. It's clear that, as the king of
Wakanda, Black Panther's role in the MCU is only going to get bigger from here on out.

Okoye - Okoye was the only major Black Panther character who wasn't killed by the snap in Avengers:
Infinity War. She continued to coordinate with the Avengers in the five years since the Decimation, and
when the time was right, she brought everyone from Wakanda to the Avengers HQ to fight Thanos and
his time-traveling army.
Valkyrie - Valkyrie was a disgraced hero in Thor: Ragnarok, but after redeeming herself, she lived up to
her name in Avengers: Endgame's final battle. And now she's been promoted to the queen of Asgard.

Captain Marvel - Coming on the heels of her solo movie, Carol Danvers helped save the Avengers twice
in Endgame - the first time by saving Tony Stark and Nebula and the second time by singlehandedly
destroying the Sanctuary-II. Then she took on Thanos by herself. Needless to say, Captain Marvel is now
one of the strongest heroes in the universe.
