MCU: 10 Greatest Iron Man Moments
4. The Missile - The Avengers
The Avengers gives fans the chance to see all their favourite MCU heroes come together to face off with big bad Loki and his swarming army. The Battle of New York gives stand-out moments to Captain America (taking lead of the team), Bruce (revealing his secret to keeping the Hulk at bay), and Thor (just being generally unstoppable), but the most pivotal and emotional moment of the fight comes when a nuke is launched on the city.
Though Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) tries to stop the missiles being fired, one breaks through and it looks as though everything's about to go very wrong.
But in comes Iron Man, who picks up the missile and flies it through the enemies' wormhole and into space. The missile destroys the mothership of the army and Tony's suit shuts down as he begins to fall back down to earth. He's eventually saved by Hulk, who gives him a loud wake up call, and in that moment proves he's willing to lay everything on the line to protect the innocent.
