Ranking Every Major Female MCU Character From Worst To Best

3. Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow)

Pepper Potts is a standout in the MCU because her relationship with Tony Stark is pretty much the only romance in the entire series that plays out totally organically.

More to the point, Pepper is actually her own character and shown to be incredibly smart when it comes to running Stark's business affairs, while also reining in his lesser habits and refusing to just take his s***.

Hell, she even gets to be part of the action in Iron Man 3, becoming infected with the Extremis virus and delivering the killing blow to Aldrich Killian.

Sadly, Civil War suggests Pepper might be done with the MCU, which considering the potential for her to don the Rescue armour and become a superhero in her own right, feels like a massive missed opportnity.
