15 of the most iconic Lip Sync Battle performances

Clark Gregg — “Toxic”
Phil Coulson was probably Captain America’s number one fan, but he never dressed up like the hero (at least not in public). That said, if the MCU had its own lip-syncing competition, odds are pretty good Coulson would be down to perform “Star-Spangled Man with a Plan” in full Cap wardrobe.
But, until such time that Marvel decides to make that a storyline, we at least have the real-world performance of Clark Gregg on Lip Sync Battle. And the image isn’t one that’s easily forgotten. The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star picked Britney Spears’s hit “Toxic” and went all out.
Gregg got to show off his comedy skills just a bit in the MCU, tossing in a few quips at Loki, but he really got to let loose in this duel.
He managed to almost entirely recreate the music video on stage, flight attendant outfit and all. Of course, he gave the dancing a bit of a modern-day update, tossing in some twerking near the end of the performance.
His opponent, co-star Hayley Atwell, was just as thrilled as the audience, though she’s only shown briefly. That makes sense though — it was impossible to tear the camera away from Gregg on this one.
