Avengers: Infinity War - Power Ranking Every Character

26. Ebony Maw

Ebony Maw
Marvel Comics

Thanos' smart underling is not a fighter (and probably also not a lover, to be honest), but what he has going for him that sets him apart from the other non-combatants is an intellect so fierce that it's basically a weapon in itself.

His brain is one of Thanos' most lethal weapons, as Ebony Maw uses it to manipulate and persuade his enemies to serve him with nothing more than verbal suggestion. The fact that he did this to someone as mentally strong as Doctor Strange says a lot about those powers.

25. Falcon

Marvel Studios

Though he's mostly best considered one of Captain America's "side-kicks", Falcon has one thing that sets him apart from a number of other "lesser" powered superheroes in the Avengers: he has a means to fly. Without his wing suit, he's no more than a highly-trained soldier, which would drop him significantly below the likes of Hawkeye and Black Widow, but flight is pretty useful when your enemies can't (which the Black Order can't).

He's still not likely to be THAT much of a major player in Infinity War, but as Cap's continued right-hand man, he'll probably be on screen a fair bit (unless he's one of the supporting characters chosen to be killed for effect, of course).
