Every MCU Movie Ranked By Death Count
15. Iron Man 3 - 56
The main villain of Iron Man 3 was a terrorist, and while not the terrorist anyone thought at the start of the movie, Aldrich Killian was still a terrorist, nonetheless. Yet even so, the man behind AIM still racked up less kills than the movie's hero.
Rhodey said that there were nine bombings attributed to the Mandarin, the two of which that were connected to the movie's plot resulted in the deaths of 11 people. Killian also forced Trevor Slattery to murder an innocent man on camera, as well as six in the first propaganda movie and the two he killed himself, including Maya Hansen.
Tony and his allies however took the lives of 25 men and women. The majority of these were in self-defence, and while it's unclear exactly how much it took to kill someone with Extremis running through their veins, Tony telling JARVIS to target them with 'extreme prejudice' allows the assumption that everyone they came up against in the final battle was killed.
Finally, two police officers were killed by Ellen Brandt in Tennessee, one Extremis test subject died when his body wouldn't accept the experiment, and Killian's right hand man, Savin, killed eight of the President's men on board Air Force One before Tony burned a hole in his chest.
