10 Most Brutal Deaths In MCU History

10. Frank - Ant-Man

Despite being the most comedic, family-friendly of all MCU franchises, Ant-Man enjoys a brief diversion into the grim with one of the MCU's gnarliest deaths to date.

Darren Cross, the wonderfully hammy antagonist, finds himself at odds with a Pym Technologies executive by the name of Frank. After years of trying and failing to successfully reproduce Pym Particles, Cross is on the cusp of realising his dream if it weren't for people like Frank blocking it on legal grounds.

Infuriated, Cross whips out a shrink ray and opens fire, failing miserably at safely shrinking Frank. Instead, it turns him into a small, fleshy pile of goo. What used to be Frank is then wiped up via tissue, and never seen again.

Part of what makes this scene so brutal is how oddly human the colouring of Frank's remains are. Another is the thought of how painful it must've been to spend one's final moments getting squashed into nothingness.

To add a little insult to injury, Frank's death is never really brought up again. No one seems particularly fussed as to his whereabouts. This scene was deemed disturbing enough to warrant removal from the made-for-TV version of Ant-Man.
