10 Most Brutal Deaths In MCU History
4. Iron Man - Endgame
The man who has been with the MCU from the very start, Tony Stark's death signalled the end of an era in modern cinema.
The billionaire/genius/playboy/philanthropist was leading a quiet life with his wife and daughter when duty called, this time to bring back the deceased half of life in the universe. As the man himself points out, part of the journey is the end. Tony, a mere mortal, wields the might of the stones for a moment, vanquishing 2014 Thanos and friends at the cost of his own life.
The level of damage done to his body afterwards is grim to say the least. Horrific burns cover the stones-wielding arm and run up onto Stark's neck and face, leaving the poor guy badly disfigured. In his dying moments, he is barely able to speak or even react as friends and loved ones such as War Machine, Spider-Man and Pepper Potts say their farewells. With a kid back home and plenty to live for, Tony still went down in battle, proving he could indeed make the sacrifice play.
Just to wring out a little extra pain in the feelings department, the last we see of Mr Stark is a quaint hologram he recorded for his daughter before his noble demise.
