From Captain America to the original X-Men, here are the major characters who (probably) won't survive Marvel's next multiverse-shattering event.
Marc GriffinCaptain America
Captain America, introduced in Marvel Comics in 1941 and portrayed by Chris Evans in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is a super-soldier defined by his vibranium shield and star-spangled costume. His origins in World War II ground him in a specific historical moment, while his role as Avengers leader highlights his blend of tactical skill and unwavering moral compass. The character stands out for balancing patriotic symbolism with deeply personal struggles, making him a complex figure beyond traditional heroism. His relevance traces back to pivotal MCU moments like *Captain America: The Winter Soldier*, where political espionage challenges his ideals, and *Avengers: Endgame*, which cements his legacy through sacrifice and leadership. Fans return to Captain America because his journey explores evolving concepts of loyalty and freedom, reflecting broader cultural conversations about identity and justice within the superhero genre.
