Michael Rooker Boasts an Impressive Kill Count as Yondu in the MCU
Superheroes and other comic book characters often cause significant destruction during battles. While they don’t intend for this to happen, collateral damage and casualties are inevitable. There are also times when heroes deliberately kill, believing it to be the only way to defeat their foes and secure victory.
While characters like Batman and Superman adhere to a “no-kill” policy, this approach is more of an exception than the norm. Superheroes generally don’t hesitate to eliminate their adversaries, whether they’re monsters, aliens, or other threats.
With that in mind, we’re going to examine the kill count of a notable comic book character, specifically his version from the MCU. The character in question is Yondu, a compelling and formidable figure, as you’ll see from his confirmed kill count below.
The information we have comes from an IMDb list created by user Creedswede, who compiled the kill counts for both major and minor MCU characters, along with several important notes. According to the data he provided, here is Spider-Man’s kill count:
- Guardians of the Galaxy – 28
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – 209
- What If? – 25+ (voice)
- Total kills: 262+
He also appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, but he had no recorded kills in those films. Since Yondu is dead in the MCU, the chances of his kill count increasing in the future are quite slim—unless Marvel finds a way to bring him back to life, which doesn’t seem likely at this time.
Rooker has expressed interest in returning to the MCU, possibly in a different role, but for now, these are just rumors regarding the future, so we’ll have to wait and see what develops. We will, of course, keep you updated as soon as we have any new information.
Regarding the numbers, with 262 confirmed kills in the MCU, Yondu is one of the most formidable characters in the franchise. He surpasses many Avengers and numerous villains, placing him among the top MCU characters with the highest confirmed on-screen kills. It’s worth noting that Yondu began his MCU journey as an antagonist, which adds to the context of his impressive kill count.
These figures have been updated as of Deadpool & Wolverine, where Yondu did not make an appearance, so we can assume they are accurate.
