Random Busiest Characters In The MCU (14 items)

• 

  (#11) Nova-Prime

  • Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Universe

  Nova Prime Irani Rael is the commander of the Nova Corps, and as Marvel Comics fans know, operating an intergalactic police force like the Nova Corps is no joke. Imagine how hard it is to run a police force in modern-day America, and now try to fathom what that would be like on an intergalactic scale. It doesn't seem to be an enviable position.

  Though it is unclear if Rael survived after Thanos ransacked Xandar for the Power Stone and slayed half of the planet's population just before the events of Avengers: Infinity War, one thing's for sure: She undoubtedly wouldn't have taken that punch on the chin without a fight.

  (#14) Darren Cross

  Ant-Man villain and CEO of Cross Technologies Darren Cross runs a tech company while also personally overseeing the development of shrink-based tech designed for conflict. It's safe to say the guy has a lot on his plate, so much so that his obsession with being remembered as a success appears to drive him a bit mad... well, that and his unprotected usage of the shrinking process. 

  While talking to Scott Lang, Hank Pym - the creator of Pym Particles and shrinking tech in general - says, "The [shrinking] process is highly volatile. If one isn't protected by a specialized helmet, it can affect the brain's chemistry. I don't think Darren realizes this, and, you know, he's not the most stable guy to begin with."

  (#9) Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)

  • The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Marvel Universe

  While audiences are currently in the dark about what Carol Danvers was up to between Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, it is clear she was so busy, she couldn't return to Earth for 20+ years. Even then, it was only during a universe-wide state of emergency.

  It's like she says in Avengers: Endgame, "There are a lot of other planets in the universe. And unfortunately, they didn't have you guys." Marvel Studios is sure to fill in that decades-long gap with future sequels, but Danvers doesn't appear the type to just sit on her hands and wait for trouble.
• 

  (#6) Shuri

  Princess Shuri, sister of King T'Challa, manages to balance the varying responsibilities of royalty while also developing cutting-edge technology and driving Wakanda's technological industry.

  Just look at all the cool things she has created for T'Challa in Black Panther: sound-absorbing shoes, new vibranium armor, and virtual reality cockpits that pilot real vehicles. Shuri is out here rivaling Tony Stark with her obsession with inventing, and she's hardly had any screen time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

  (#7) Maria Hill

  • The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Avengers, Marvel Universe

  Helping run a governmental organization as wide-ranging as S.H.I.E.L.D. is nothing to scoff at, and being Nick Fury's right hand can't be as glamorous as it sounds. One can only imagine the off-screen shenanigans Hill gets up to in the down and dirty world of espionage and intrigue.

  Even when S.H.I.E.L.D. folds after the events of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Hill manages to keep busy by assisting the Avengers through her employment at Stark Industries all while remaining in contact with a ghosted Fury.
• 

  (#4) Doctor Strange

  • Dr. Strange, Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme, Marvel Universe

  As Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange is tasked with protecting the planet from all otherworldly and dimensional threats. In terms of daunting job descriptions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this one certainly takes the cake.

  There are seemingly endless possibilities to the types of menaces Strange must protect the world from and, while cinephiles have only seen him go up against Dormammu and Thanos thus far, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will surely introduce new perils the magic-wielding doctor must fend off.
