15 Times MCU Heroes Actually Killed

2. Pepper Potts Killed TWO Supervillains

Considering Iron Man is a big enough deal for him to have three films with his name above the door and five other film appearances in the MCU, the fact that he's never killed any of his own supervillains said a lot about the nature of his heroism.

In Iron Man 2, Whiplash kills himself and Justin Hammer is arrested and sure he does send Ebony Maw to his death, but in the other two Iron Man movies, he relies on Pepper Potts to do the dirty work. That's right, the manager of his business has more big-fish kills in the MCU than the leader of the Avengers, which might account for her aspirations to become an Avenger herself.

In the first Iron Man, it's Potts who flicks the switch on the arc reactor to fry Obadiah Stane and by the time Iron Man 3 comes around and she's been infected with Extremis virus, it's her who ultimately takes down the fire breathing Aldrich Killian. You try going back to a desk job after that.
