26. The Ancient One (Doctor Strange, 2016)
Her character was supposed to be mystical and…it worked–we were mystified by her appearance indeed.
25. Hela (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
She looked like a Power Rangers villain before she even put that headpiece on.
24. Okoye (Black Panther, 2018)
We almost wanted to list her as “The Dora Milaje” because much of her cool factor came from how bad-ass their group was as a whole.
23. Nebula (Guardians of the Galaxy, 2014)
We’ve got literal aliens on this list, but Nebula seems more robot than flesh and that might be your thing, but not ours.
22. Ghost (Ant-Man and the Wasp, 2018)
Too emo.
21. Betty Ross (The Incredible Hulk, 2008)
Does anyone even remember Betty? Or that this film is officially part of the MCU?
20. Dr. Christine Palmer (Doctor Strange, 2016)
See Betty Ross but only the first point.
19. Nakia (Black Panther, 2018)
Not Lupita's most memorable role. Blame Michael B. Jordan for stealing all the hype.
18. Lady Sif (Thor, 2011)
Fills the role as designated ass-kicking girl in Thor’s gang nicely, but underutilized like the rest of them.
17. Minn-Erva (Captain Marvel, 2019)
Only because we still remember her in Crazy Rich Asians.
16. Michelle (Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2017)
Zendaya’s a cutie but she’s not on the level of MJ's past actresses just yet. Of course, she's MJ.
15. Captain Marvel (Captain Marvel, 2019)
She’s not there yet because Black Widow is still the head bitch in charge of the Avengers.
14. Maria Hill (The Avengers, 2012)
After the “it’s Robin!” hype died down she also went down this list.
13. Valkyrie (Thor: Ragnarok, 2017)
Sassy and drinks a lot.
12. Shuri (Black Panther, 2018)
The cutest kid sister an Avenger could have.
11. Peggy Carter (Captain America: The First Avenger, 2011)
Totally had the spotlight stolen from her later on by her niece.
10. Jane Foster (Thor, 2011)
Disappeared before the "best" Thor installment but, hey, it’s Natalie, she can start off the top ten.
9. Mantis (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, 2017)
Also on the topic of the who-played-who, have you seen Mantis IRL?
8. Scarlet Witch (Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2015)
Would probably land right around here on a power ranking of X-Men too.
7. Darcy Lewis (Thor: The Dark World, 2013)
Kat Dennings out of nowhere!
6. Hope van Dyne (Ant-Man, 2015)
The second-best part of the Ant-Man series. After Luis and his monologues.
5. Sharon Carter (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2014)
She shot her shot on the Cap! The reigning landi of the MCU.
4. Gamora (Guardians of the Galaxy, 2014)
It’s like Avatar all over again!
3. Pepper Potts (Iron Man, 2008)
The first ever MCU leading lady set a high bar.
2. Natasha Romanoff (Iron Man 2, 2010)
The undisputed, we’ll miss her after she bows out with her prequel movie. Also, we actually forgot she debuted in Iron Man 2.
1. Aunt May (Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2017)
Oh wait, sorry, Aunt May has to win this.
