About This Quiz
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has given us some of the greatest summer blockbusters of all time, creating a multibillion-dollar film series that's had fans following it for over a decade. "The Avengers" movies have some of the best comic book characters ever brought to life. With over 20 movies that include Avengers characters, we get crossovers, cameos and storylines that keep us interested and make us want more.Â
For those fans who didn't follow the comic books, we first heard of the Avengers initiative in 2008, when Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) showed up in a post-credit scene, and we were excited to see more. Soon, the series of films took flight, and things went crazy. The only year we didn't have a stand-alone film or "Avengers" film with one of these MCU characters was 2009, and for 11 years, these characters have practically become part of our families.
If you are an MCU fan, you can probably spot your favorite characters no matter what kind of hairstyle they have or how their costumes changed. However, do you know which "Avengers" movie these changes occurred in? Take this quiz to see if you can guess which "Avengers" movie we're talking about (don't worry, we'll show you a screenshot). SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't seen all four "Avengers" movies, you will probably want to put this quiz on hold for a minute.
Captain America takes one more journey back in time at the end of "Avengers: Endgame" and doesn't come back (well not the way we expected). It turns out that Cap went ahead and stayed behind to spend time with the love of his life.
Ultron was the most powerful villain that the human race had ever seen up to that point. He was the culmination of all intelligence and power that the human race could muster, so it took quite a bit to take him down.
After spiraling into a depression, we next see Thor hanging out with some old friends, drinking a bit too much and ultimately letting himself go. It appears as though he's gone a few years without brushing his hair, as well.

While everyone who followed the comics knew that Captain Marvel would show up at some point or another, those who only followed the movies had to look up the symbol that was shown during the end credits scene of "Infinity War".
Hulk is the kind of character who doesn't care if people get in their funny one-liners before attacking. During the Battle of New York, Loki tries to stop Hulk and the Avengers from fighting at all, as they are annoying him. Before Loki can finish his monologue, Hulk grabs him and smashes him into the floor several times.
Though the Ant-Man movies weren't projected to make a lot of money, they've come into their own and gained quite the following. Audiences loved seeing Ant-Man's interaction with his daughter, so seeing them reunite in "Endgame" was just the right amount of drama for us.

As an attempt to give Bruce Banner some control over the Hulk, writers decided to have the scientist control his feelings, and the only way to do that is to have incredibly high blood pressure at all times, allowing him to turn into the Hulk whenever he wants ... until he can't.

During the Battle of Sokovia, the Avengers attempt to stop Ultron from wiping out the entire population of the planet. He plans to do so by lifting the city high and making it crash into the Earth as though it were a giant asteroid.

Writers have had a difficult time adapting the Hulk to the big screen, mostly because the character is supposed to be a wild card. However, in the beginning of "Age of Ultron" we see Iron Man try to take him on.
