Captain America may not have been your favorite Avenger at first, but over the last few MCU movies, we think you should give him another chance.
Captain America doesn’t always get the credit he deserves. His first standalone movie doesn’t really stand out. He was the butt of many jokes in the first Avengers as the man out of time. Of course, that all changes as the movies go on, but honestly, it still feels like Tony Stark gets all the credit and the love.
So we pose a question: If you had to choose your favorite Avenger from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who would it be? Can you even pick?
They all have their redeeming qualities, the ones that draw you in despite their many other flaws, but if you had to choose, who would it be? Does it depend on their standalone movies? If they’re a team player with the other Avengers? Their background in the comics?
If you have yet to make up your mind, we’re here to help you. We happen to think that Captain America is worth a strong, hard look. Steve Rogers deserves a place in your heart, and we have 31 awesome examples of when Captain America was the best Avenger. After all, he is more than just the star-spangled man with a plan.
