Even Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts Has a Higher Kill Count than Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the MCU
When superheroes and other comic book characters engage in battles, they often leave behind significant destruction. While these heroes don’t intend to cause harm, collateral damage and casualties are common outcomes.
There are also instances where heroes deliberately kill, believing it’s the only way to defeat their enemies.
Although characters like Batman and Superman uphold “no-kill” policies, they are more the exception than the norm. Many superheroes have no qualms about taking the lives of their foes, whether they’re monsters, aliens, or something else entirely.
With that in mind, let’s discuss the kill count of a rather surprising character from the MCU: Pepper Potts. While she may not be the first person you’d think of for such a list, you might be shocked to discover how her total compares to that of some other prominent MCU figures.
The information we have comes from a list on IMDb created by user Creedswede, who took the time to compile the kill counts for both major and minor MCU characters, along with several key notes. According to the data he provided, here is Pepper Potts’ kill count:
- Iron Man – 1
- Iron Man 3 – 1
- Avengers: Endgame – 62
- Total kills: 64+
Additionally, she appeared in Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Avengers: Infinity War, but she did not have any kills in those films. This is primarily because she wasn’t in the Iron Man suit for most of these projects, which limited her capabilities (and some of these were merely cameo roles).
Looking ahead, she is rumored to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Ironheart, though it seems unlikely that her kill count will increase in those films. The same applies to her rumored role in Armor Wars, but the status of that project remains uncertain, leaving her future in doubt.
For now, these are just rumors regarding her future, so we’ll have to wait and see what unfolds. Rest assured, we will keep you updated as soon as new information becomes available.
So, as noted, Pepper Potts has killed at least 64 people in the MCU, primarily Thanos’ henchmen during Endgame. While this may not seem like a large number, it’s noteworthy when compared to other major MCU characters—like Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk—showing she has a higher kill count than the Green Goliath!
These figures have been updated as of Deadpool & Wolverine, even though Pepper Potts did not appear in that film, which suggests that they are accurate.
