10 Most Powerful Items In The Marvel Cinematic Universe

5. Hulkbuster Armour

After Iron Man 3 teased the appearance of the Hulkbuster armour with the very Hulkbuster-esque Igor unit, Avengers: Age Of Ultron finally introduced it as a pacification unit to take care of Bruce Banner when he became out of control.

Technically known as Iron Man's Mark XLIV Armour, the Hulkbuster is deployed in South Africa to stop The Hulk, who has been coaxed into a rage by Scarlet Witch. The Hulkbuster is one of the few items or weapons in the MCU capable of standing toe-to-toe with The Hulk, its strength almost exactly matching his, though it has a few clear advantages: an orbiting satellite can drop down repair parts for any damaged modules on the suit, and it has a rapid-fire punch ability which is used to immobilise the big green dude for a short while, locking his arm in a vice-like grip.

The Hulkbuster eventually manages to KO The Hulk, proving that, though it'll cause a ton of city-wide damage in the process, the giant suit is a semi-reliable way to stop Hulk in his tracks... eventually.
