4. Iron Man
What a journey this character has been on. Let’s pretend that the retcon mess of Age of Ultron didn’t happen and undo all of the work done in Iron Man 3 and The Avengers for a moment to process where he started to where is in Civil War. Sure, he’s still egotistical to a wild, destructive fault, still a billionaire genius mechanic, but now it’s weighed down by a guilty conscience and a heavy heart. Robert Downey Jr. has done such tremendous work with the character that Marvel might as well just retire the character once he’s done as he’s imbued the character with an electrifying vulnerability as well as a disarming bravado.
