6. Sharon Carter Is A Badass

As Sam, Bucky, and Zemo fled the bounty hunters that were triggered when Selby was killed, they found they had a guardian angel protecting them in the form of Sharon Carter. The character hadn't been seen in the MCU since Civil War, and it's now clear that she's spent the years since living as a hustler in Madripoor.

Since she didn't have the Avengers to fall back on or look to for help after stealing Cap's shield for him, she had no chance of a presidential pardon, and thus found herself unable to return to the USA. It's fair to say that in the following years, Sharon has changed significantly.

As Agent 13 and the niece of the legendary Agent Carter, Sharon was always a badass, but she appears to have now dialled that up to at least 11.

She handled every bounty hunter coming Sam, Bucky, and Zemo's way with ease, she kept the trio from being killed in Madripoor's Lowtown, and she was instrumental in furthering their investigation into the super soldier serum. Seeing Sharon in the MCU like this was incredible, but she may be keeping a huge secret that we will get to later in this list.
