Avengers Endgame: 6 Things You Need To Know About Ronin

6. There Have Been Several Different Ronins

In the Marvel comics, Ronin was originally a persona created for the purpose of anonymity, and was originally used by the deaf, female superhero, Echo. And so began a tradition of established superheroes shedding their renowned mantle and wearing the black costume.

Clint Barton was actually the second person to take on the identity. Since that time, Ronin has changed hands more than once. For a brief stint, it belonged to the Soviet poster-boy, Red Guardian and also New York vigilante, Moon Knight.

Fans might also be intrigued to know that the Ronin ID was even adopted by Eric Brooks, aka Blade.

As a member of the Marvel family, Blade would frequently cross paths with The Avengers, Spidey and so forth. This is a fact that might be lost on movie goers who were heavily invested in the Wesley Snipes, Blade movies of yesteryear. In light of this knowledge, fans can't help but salivate over the idea of the MCU absorbing the blood-drinking vampire hunter into their universe.

Though not an imminent addition, it could be a possibility for a long-term, post-Endgame future.
