10 Greatest Avengers Of All Time

9. Vision

Vision is one of the more unique members of the Avengers, and one who's almost always been in and around the team since his debut in Avengers #57 in 1968. He's one of the few members of the team to have made their debut in their actual comic, so it's only natural that fans consider him to be one of their strongest assets.

Created by Ultron to fight the Avengers, the android soon realises that that he's being manipulated for nefarious purposes. The Avengers explain to Vision that part of his mental makeup is comprised of that of Wonder Man's, and so, deciding that his skills could be better put to use serving good, he joins them.

Few would've imagined that Vision would go on to become such a staple of the team, becoming one of their most recognisable members of the years, but that's exactly what happened. Today, Vision is considered not just one of the greatest Avengers, but one of the greatest Marvel characters ever created.

Of course, there's another character responsible for that perception, and one arguably superior in terms of reputation...

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
