15 Times MCU Heroes Actually Killed

6. Thor (Plus Jane Foster & Erik Selvig) Killed Malekith - Thor: The Dark World

Extremist enemies require extreme measures. Thor actually reveals in Avengers: Infinity War that he's killed 3000 enemies in his lifetime, which puts him well out in front for MCU killcount (well, apart from Thanos, but that's sort of a given), but only his defeat of Malekith probably directly saves the multiverse. So it's kind of a big deal.

Having seen the Dark Elf sanction the murder of his mother and the mistreatment of his girlfriend, Jane Foster, Thor tangles with Malekith in a final battle that takes in universe jumping, slapstick comedy (yikes) and an Infinity Stone failing once more to protect its wielder. In the end, Thor teams up with his Astro-Physics friends (hurray!) and teleports the baddy to Svartalfheim before Selvig teleports his ship there too and it crushes him.

Sure, Selvig does the last key part, but it's Thor who incapacitates Malekith and it's very much a team effort.
