Infinity War is almost upon us in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the heroes of the galaxy come together to take on the biggest threat that any of them have ever faced; Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet.
Also known as the Mad Titan, Thanos has been collecting Infinity Stones, stones of power that can be combined with the Infinity Gauntlet to make him the most powerful villain that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever seen... and only the Avengers can stop him! Of course, it's not just enough that they team up - even with so many heroes taking part in this massive Marvel event, they are going to have to know how to work together in order to figure out how to take Thanos down.
If you were in charge of the Avengers, do you know them all well enough to be able to take down the Mad Titan? Do you have enough knowledge of their weapons, their weaknesses, their personalities and their quirks to be able to guide this massive super-team to success, and save the world from Thanos himself... or would you just be throwing random heroes at his head, hoping for the best, and ending up with half the universe wiped out as a result? Take our Avengers quiz and see how well you know everyone's favorite Marvel heroes!
What would you say to calm down the Hulk?
Bruce Banner may be a mild-mannered and brilliant scientist, but when he gets angry... that's when the Hulk comes out to play. And while the 'Big Green Guy' can be extremely useful in a fight, he can be impossible to reason with - which means that he is also near-impossible to control! And of course, when the fight is done, stopping him is even more difficult. Thankfully, Black Widow can use a carefully worded phrase to help him return to himself - what is it?
Whose brother is this?
The Avengers might be like family to each other (they certainly fight each other and defend each other like family does), but some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe characters are actually related... even if just by adoption, rather than blood. Loki, a fan-favorite, has been a villain and an ally to his brother in the Avengers, at different times in their lives. The two have a complicated relationship that spans multiple movies, and is sure to get even more complex soon... who is Loki's brother?
What is the name of Tony Stark's company?
Tony Stark isn't just charming and brilliant and also Iron Man, but he is phenomenally rich! It's all thanks to the company that he owns, and where he puts many of his incredible ideas for technology into play (for money, of course). Originally, there were a lot of weapons manufactured and sold by the company (and that's how Tony found himself kidnapped in the desert and building his first even Iron Man suit), but now they've changed focus - what is the company called?
Whose best friend is this?
Although heroes tend to work alone, or in teams of other heroes, they do also have family at home... and often, good friends, too. Ned Leeds is the best friend of one of the Avengers, and a complete geek. He's even helped his friend out in the field, but from behind the safety of a computer screen, rather than by donning a costume himself. He's an amazing friend, but as everyone knows, if this hero's enemies were to find out, things would not look good for Ned!
Who is this?
There are so many characters that surround the Avengers, that sometimes it can be hard to keep up. This young woman is the great niece of Peggy Carter, the legendary spy from the 1940s who was also the love interest to Captain America in his own time. Now, she is an Agent of SHIELD, also known as Agent 13, and who met Steve Rogers when she went undercover as his next door neighbor for a while. What is her name?
Who cut Thor's hair?
For several years, Thor was known for his flowing locks, that fit his classic Asgardian look... but in his most recent solo outing, Thor: Ragnarok, he was sporting a new cropped 'do. The hair was cut off by a hairdresser working for the Grandmaster, who wanted to prep him for battle - even though Thor begged him not to touch his golden locks! The hairdresser was played by one of the biggest names in Marvel comics - who was it?
Why is Thanos after Vision?
Thanos is happy to take on any and all Avengers, friends of Avengers, ex-villains or temporary allies that stand in his way, but there's someone in particular that he is after... Vision. The android built by Tony Stark has become a big part of the Avengers team, but the chances of him surviving through Infinity War look slim, knowing that the Mad Titan himself has Vision in his crosshairs. What does Thanos want from Vision so badly he'll do anything to get it?
What elite guard was this Asgardian part of?
There have been many Asgardians in the MCU since it first began - mostly on Asgard, but also on Earth, and now even on Sakaar. This young woman appeared on the planet as a bounty hunter of sorts - also known as Scrapper 142. She was the one who captured Thor and brought him to the Grandmaster, although she spends most of her time drunk and trying to forget her history... and the Asgardian elite guard she was once a part of. What were they called?
Who lives here?
We haven't seen too many of the Avengers homes over the years, although one or two have popped up in various films. For obvious reasons, most superheroes like to keep where they live very private - no one wants their door knocked down by a super villain when all they are trying to do is relax and watch some Netflix! The Avengers briefly took shelter in this farm-style home, which belongs to one of their number. Who was it who lives here?
What did the Avengers call this?
Back at the beginning of the MCU, before everyone knew about Thanos, the Infinity Stones, and the Infinity Gauntlet that can join them, the first of the Stones showed up and was thought to be something else. No one truly knew what it was, although parts of its history were revealed, and it was thought to potentially be the source of unlimited energy. Given its capabilities, everyone was very keen to get their hands on it, but what did they call it before they knew what it was?
Who was Thor's girlfriend on Earth?
When Thor first appeared on Earth, it was in order to hunt down his magical hammer, Mjolnir, so that he could go back to leading the life of battles and drinking that he loved... but what he found on Earth was something he never expected. When he was discovered by this woman, he slowly fell in love with her - and although the two are no longer together, she was his great love for some time. What was her name?
Who is this man?
This is a relatively simple one... or it should be, for any Avengers fan! This man was the one who first created the Avengers Initiative, and who reached out to the heroes of the world to try and bring them together into one cohesive team. He is also someone who has faked his death in the past, and gone into hiding in order to take care of what he needs to - and this is certainly not someone we have seen the last of!
Where was the Avengers first HQ?
These days, the current Avengers are using an old Stark Industries warehouse as a headquarters, but this wasn't their original base of operations. When the team were first formed (and after SHIELD was dissolved), the Avengers had a particularly flashy HQ - a huge gleaming tower in the city, called Avengers Tower and featuring the Avengers' 'A' logo prominently on the side. Now, this tower has been sold off by Stark, but for a while, it was one of the most recognizable buildings in the MCU.
Where did Cap first meet Bucky?
Captain America and Bucky Barnes (The Winter Soldier) are two characters that have a truly complicated history - from friends to enemies, after Bucky was brainwashed into a killer by the agents of HYDRA. Then, when he started to remember his past again, he ran from HYDRA, and Captain America was the one to help protect him and find a way to make him whole again - because of course, he would do nothing less for his best friend. Where did they first meet?
What was the name of the legal documents that started Civil War?
For several years, the Avengers operated under essentially no-one's control. Although they worked for SHIELD at times, they would also take on whichever threat they thought necessary... and after this led to several city-destroying battles, it was decided by some in government that superheroes should face stricter controls. Legal documents were drawn up to curtail their activities and to monitor them. The divided reactions to this were the cause of the Civil War that split the team - what were they called?
Who is the woman standing with Hawkeye?
Hawkeye is a man with a whole lot of secrets - not only do we still not know what exactly happened in Budapest, but everyone got a surprise in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when they met Laura. It was one of the biggest shocks for the team in the film, and even though he was part of the team for years, most of them had absolutely no idea who she was - do you know who this lovely brunette is on Clint Barton's arm?
Who was Cap's main opponent during Civil War?
During the events of Civil War, the Avengers (and many of the other heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) were torn - half believing that the governments of the world should have the right to supervise, control, and register the superheroes of the world, and the others believing that this was unacceptable. Bucky Barnes and Captain America were at the center of the conflict, and headed up one 'team' of heroes - who was leading the team the opposed them?
What is Cap's shield made of?
Captain America's shield is his signature weapon - although of course, his powers lie in more than just the red white and blue disc that he always carries. The Shield was given to him by the US Armed Forces and Howard Stark, who had designed it using their only stockpiles of an incredibly precious material. It is stronger than steel, a third of the weight, and 'completely vibration absorbent'. In other words, the best shield he could possibly have. What is it made of?
Who created this villain?
Some villains are created by their circumstances, but not all of the Avengers villains can be said to have been created in this way. Ultron, the primary villain of Avengers: Age of Ultron, was literally built by one of the heroes. He was originally designed to be a peacekeeping program and artificial intelligence, and was created using code from the Mind Stone. However, he soon decided to go rogue, believing that the best way to keep peace was to kill all humans... who was responsible for his creation?
Who were the Avengers first brought together to face?
By this point, the Avengers have faced a huge range of supervillains, both individually and as a super-team. However, what was the first ever global threat that the entire team was assembled to take on in the first Avengers movie? It was complicated, because there were multiple different forces at work, including Loki, an Infinity Stone, and a few others, but their first big battle was against one of Marvel's many alien races - which aliens did they battle in New York?
Who helped to found S.H.E.I.L.D.?
SHIELD has certainly had its ups and downs. In the '40s, SHIELD was still in its earliest days, growing out of the Strategic Scientific Reserve with the help of Howard Stark. From there, it grew to a massive organization, but fell when it was revealed that HYDRA had infiltrated it from the first, and is now being rebuilt from the ground up in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.... back at the start, who was the brilliant female spy who was one of the founders?
How did these siblings get their powers?
In the comic universe, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff, aka Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch, get their powers because they are mutants. However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe didn't have the rights to the mutant X-Gene, so their version of these two characters got their powers in a different way - and while superheroes are generally accepted as simply existing in the MCU now, the reason was given in their debut film. Do you know how it happened that Pietro became a speedster and Wanda became capable of warping and changing reality itself?
How is this woman connected to Thanos?
Although Avengers: Infinity War will be the first time that we see Thanos on Earth, he has appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe before now. There have even been several characters connected directly to him, including Gamora, Ronan the Accuser, and this bald, blue-skinned assassin, Nebula. Nebula has appeared in both Guardians films, as an enemy of the team, and later as a reluctant ally - but what is her (and Gamora's, for that matter) direct connection to the Mad Titan, Thanos?
Name this team
While most of the Avengers have met with the other heroes who are going to be in Infinity War, this particular team has been operating in a very different sphere. Rather than being stuck on Earth, this team travels throughout the stars, taking on jobs, occasionally being arrested for crimes (because they weren't too law-abiding before they became heroes), and generally fighting the good fight. In fact, of the team, only one is from Earth - the leader, Star-Lord. What is his team called?
What was Ant-Man, before he became a hero?
Every superhero has a backstory, and something that defined them before they became a hero. For some of the Avengers, they were spoiled princes of Asgard, scientists, rich playboys, or just high school students... but Ant-Man, one of the newest members of the superhero community, took a bit of a different path through life. However, it ended up being these choices that set him up to meet his mentor, and the original Ant-Man, and to finally become a hero. What did he do?
Whose father is this?
As we have gotten to know the heroes (and villains) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many generations of heroes (and even royalty) have come into play. Howard here isn't royalty, though - unless that is meant in the sense of being 'tech world royalty'. He's a genius inventor, and was one of the first founders of SHIELD, an inventor, a movie director, a businessman - and a bit of a ladies man, as well! Whose father was he, before he died?
Name this superhero!
This is definitely a superhero that we are going to be seeing a lot more of in the future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - especially as she hasn't even truly suited up yet on screen! The daughter of Hank Pym, Hope is finally going to get her chance at the spotlight with a brand new suit that shrinks, flies, and even has blasters on the wrists. She's going to be incredible, too, having been raised by superheroes and trained her whole life... what's her super-name?
What is the name of the team this woman commands?
This ferocious warrior's name is Okoye, and she is the leader of a team of elite female bodyguards in Wakanda. These women are sworn to protect Wakanda, and to protect the throne, no matter what - not even when someone manages to take the throne who should never have been allowed to sit on it. She is one of the most powerful warriors in Wakanda, and all her women are equally well trained and ready to fight in Infinity War - what is their collective name?
What country does Black Panther rule?
Black Panther is the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and this superhero is also a King, and the ruler of an African country. Until recently, it has been assumed that this country was relatively poor and undeveloped, but as fans learned in the Black Panther movie... it is actually home to some of the most advanced technology in the world, and has been hiding to keep its people safe for many years. What is the name of this secret nation?
Whose side was Black Panther on in Civil War?
While Black Panther may have just had his first solo outing this year, that wasn't his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He actually made his debut in Captain America: Civil War, where he was part of a Wakandan delegation led by his father (and the King at the time). But when an explosion ripped through the building, it killed the King, leaving T'Challa to take his father's place... and to take a side in the Civil War that was connected to his death. Which side was it?
Whose family member is this?
Another relatively recent addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe is May, a woman who looks significantly different to the way that she appears in the comics, and in previous live-action incarnations! She has only just become aware that her nephew is actually a superhero, and we've yet to see quite how she will be dealing with that particular revelation - as she obviously wants to keep him safe, just as he wants to keep her safe! Who is her nephew?
Name this hero
This superhero was one of the first to introduce a whole new world of magic to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - one taught to him by the Ancient One, and wielded in his position as Earth's guardian against the forces of magical evil. He's not quite an Avenger, either, but he'll definitely be helping out when there is a threat to the world he protects - as he has already helped out Thor when he could... what is his name?
What does Dr Strange wear?
Doctor Strange has an impressive range of powers - including the magic that he uses so capably, and the Eye Of Agamotto (which is also an Infinity Stone). However, he also has something else that he wears, which gives him even more abilities - specifically, the ability to fly! This item is semi-sentient, and chose to come to Stephen Strange in particular, which is no small feat. Now, it is a key part of his costume - but what is it called?
Where did Thor meet Valkyrie?
Thor and Valkyrie's first meeting wasn't a particularly auspicious one, as she shot a controller disc into his neck and dragged him away to sell him as a gladiator... and their next meeting wasn't that much better. However, they did finally become friends and teammates by the end of Thor: Ragnarok, as she fought as his side to save their shared home, and she'll be appearing to fight against Thanos as well. Where did Thor first meet this hard-drinking, fighting, bounty hunting scrapper Valkyrie?
Who is expected to join the Avengers next?
Finally, this is a question for only the biggest fans of the Avengers and the Marvel Cinematic Universe... who is going to be the next, brand-new, never before seen hero who joins the fight to save the world? She's getting her own solo movie in March 2019, she's a badass pilot who goes on to become a superhero, she's a huge part of the Marvel Universe, and fans have no doubt that she'll be a big part of the second part of Infinity War...
