MCU Characters, Ranked Least-Most Likely To Win The Hunger Games

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is filled with characters so incredibly strong, they are beyond the wildest of dreams. Whether enhanced by Super-Soldier Serum or powered by Infinity Stones, this group of beings have pretty much left humanity behind and become something far greater.

Putting all these characters inside an arena and have them fight to the death would be a loss for the world in general. However, in Panem, it would be just another edition of the Hunger Games. Marvel superheroes would definitely provide the Capitol with some serious entertainment and would make the Games even deadlier. And with so many possibilities, the ultimate victor would probably be determined at the last minute.

10 Spider-Man

It’s pretty clear that Spider-Man is a very powerful fellow. He’s quite strong, has a wide variety of superpowers, is young and very enthusiastic. However, he’s also very kind-hearted and somewhat naive. He’s still just a kid, after all.

This means he would have a very hard time in the Games. The other tributes would easily manipulate him, and his loyalty and overall innocence would prevent him from going against those he allies himself with early in the competition. It’s almost certain he wouldn’t make it very far.

9 Captain America

The Man Out of Time would also have a hard time in the Games. If there’s a character that would oppose the barbarity of it all, it would most definitely be him. This would bring him the animosity of the Capitol, who would no doubt seek to finish him off as quickly as possible.

Cap’s integrity and resoluteness would also mean he probably wouldn’t pander to sponsors, meaning he would literally be on his own during the entire time he was in the arena.

8 Iron Man

Tony Stark is an interesting character, who knows that, sometimes, you have to break the rules to win the game. He would probably be more willing to properly compete and would most likely be a worthy tribute.

His personality would appeal to sponsors, who would send him all sorts of tech treats to power his inventions. Still, the arena’s ever-changing conditions would make it very hard for him to keep his suit in proper conditions. And with the other competitors fully aware of Tony’s dependence on the suit, it wouldn’t be long before they dealt with him and took him out.

7 Black Widow

A consummate spy with a very grey sense of right and wrong, Black Widow would make for an excellent tribute during the games. Despite having no superpower, she makes it up with high intelligence, acute instincts, and a steely temper. Determined and strong, she would go into the Games with the sole purpose of winning.

She would definitely know who to ally herself with, and would have no problem turning on them once the Games reached the final stages. Still, her lack of super-human abilities would make her an easy prey once all the other non-powered tributes were gone, and though she would try her best, she would eventually fall.

6 Vision

Powered by an Infinity Stone, Vision is no doubt one of the strongest beings in the entire MCU. His powers are considerable and probably far greater than anyone dares to guess. He could make things incredibly difficult for almost every tribute, except perhaps his love, Wanda.

However, Vision’s relative youth and lack of understanding of human nature and interactions would make him vulnerable to all sorts of traps and betrayals. The other tributes could easily get under his vibranium body and manipulate him. And considering that without the stone, he pretty much dies, his days in the arena would be counted.

5 Gamora

The deadliest woman in the galaxy would be a lethal threat going into the Games. Highly skilled and trained to literally be a weapon, Gamora would excel in the sort of violence that the Capitol so enjoys.

Her status as Thanos’ daughter would also mean that a lot of people would want to see her dead, something the Gamemakers would no doubt take advantage of, to shake things up. Ultimately, Gamora would make it to the middle of the competition, but with such a huge target on her back, it’s hard to see her making it past that point.

4 Doctor Strange

The Sorcerer Supreme possesses enough magic to go a few rounds with Thanos, so it’s safe to say he’s a very powerful being. His detached, analytical nature would also mean he would approach the Games with less sentimentalism than others, allowing him to strategize and execute his plans rather effectively.

Still, Strange is new to his powers, which means he hasn’t yet achieved his ultimate potential. His pride would also prevent him from losing control. While he would undoubtedly reach the final leg of the Games, he would ultimately fall, leaving just a few tributes left.

3 Thor

The God of Thunder is a logical choice to win the Games. He’s highly charismatic, which means sponsors would love him. He’s also, being a literal God, extremely powerful, resistant, and persistent when he sets his mind on something.

However, he’s not invincible. He’s also very fickle and emotionally vulnerable, which could easily be exploited by the two MCU members that come close to him in power. He might find the Games too overwhelming and cave to the pressure, leaving only two tributes to fight to become the one victor.

2 Wanda Maximoff

If Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame proved anything, it’s that Wanda’s powers are truly outstanding. She was capable of slowing down an Infinity-Gauntlet-powered Thanos with one hand, while she destroyed an Infinity Stone with the other. She’s definitely someone worth fearing in the Games.

Like Strange, she too is just beginning to discover the full potential of her powers. However, unlike him, she’s not afraid to lose control and let her abilities run wild. Capable of shaping reality to her will, Wanda would easily make it to the end of the Games and could be a serious threat for the win. Ultimately, her inexperience might get the best of her.

1 Captain Marvel

By far the most overpowered member of the MCU, Captain Marvel would fly straight through her competition and wouldn’t even break a sweat. A soldier with a rather aggressive approach to battling, she’d be the equivalent of a Career tribute.

Her absurdly strong powers alone make a threat, but when paired with her stubborn, invasive nature, she becomes a lethal weapon that would be hard to overcome. And with a considerable career as a soldier in outer space, Captain Marvel would hands-down win the Hunger Games.
