What If...? - 25 Biggest WTF Moments

9. Clint Barton's Robotic Arm

What If...? Guardians Of The Multiverse
Marvel Studios

In a dystopian future in which a megalomaniacal robot has overtaken Earth, and the entire universe around it, there are bound to be many, many new, scary, and confusing things. Of course, there will be more from this episode to come on this list, but at least most everything else was explained.

Flashbacks showed that Ultron killed almost all of the Avengers that he came up against, thanks to hacking into the US nuclear codes. Two people that weren’t killed however, were Clint and Natasha, as they were above the ground in a Quinjet when the bombs struck.

This left them to battle through the waves of Ultron drones on their own, and after so long, they had almost got used to life this way. One thing that didn’t seem to phase either of the former Avengers was Clint’s robotic arm, something that was obviously now normal to them, but completely different to the main MCU continuity.

What made this even stranger was that there was zero explanation as to what happened to his actual arm. His robotic appendage was shot off, and just a bad pun later, it was never mentioned again.
