Random Dumbest Characters In Marvel Cinematic Univers (19 items)

• 

  (#7) The Other

  • The Avengers

  Who He Is: The Other was the vocal proxy and second-in-command to Thanos. He represented the Mad Titan in most of his dealings with his underlings and served as his personal servant. He gave Loki the Chitauri Army so that he could conquer Earth, and gave him the scepter, which contained the Mind Stone.

  Why Is He So Dumb? He assumed that he was as powerful as his master when he spoke on his behalf, which proved to be his undoing.

  His Dumbest Moment: While addressing Ronan the Accuser, he spoke down to him and treated him as if he were nothing. Ronan was not the kind of guy you could get away with disrespecting. As he raised his voice to the Kree zealot, Ronan swiftly, and without a second thought, snapped his neck with his Cosmi-Rod.

  His Dumbest Line: "Lower your tone! I may be your..."

  (#12) Darcy Lewis

  • Thor: The Dark World, Thor

  Who She Is: Darcy Lewis was a political science student at Culver University. Through that program, she became Erik Selvig and Jane Foster's assistant, but she had little to no understanding of anything they were doing. She was a terrible choice for a lab assistant, and shouldn't have been assigned to work with them, but that's how her education ended up playing out.

  Why Is She So Dumb? She's mostly dumb when it comes to science, understanding science, quantum mechanics, or anything she is doing in the service of Selvig and Foster.

  Her Dumbest Moment: Applying to work as a lab assistant while studying political science. It may have been worth six credit hours, but it didn't make sense at all.

  Her Dumbest Line: "I am not dying for six college credits!"

  (#16) Thor

  • Thor: The Dark World, The Incredible Hulk Returns, Thor, Hulk Vs, Thor: Tales of Asgard, Ultimate Avengers 2, The Avengers, Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow, Marvel Universe

  Who He Is: Thor Odinson is the Asgardian God of Thunder, adoptive brother to Loki, and the son of Odin. He was originally meant to take over as king when his father stepped down, but his arrogance and refusal to follow Odin's directives proved he was unworthy of the advancement. He was stripped of his hammer and his powers and banished to Midgard. Later, he joined forces with the Avengers, hunted for Infinity Stones, decapitated Thanos, and got the mother of all "dad bods."

  Why Is He So Dumb? To be clear, Thor isn't unintelligent, but he has made some incredibly stupid decisions. For a man who is more than 1,500 years old, he doesn't learn his lessons easily, and it takes quite a lot of failure before he finally reflects on his life and the choices he's made.

  His Dumbest Moment: He defied Odin and attacked the Frost Giants on their homeworld. This earned the ire of their king, unraveled the truth about Loki's origins, led to his banishment, and left him unworthy to wield Mjolnir and his powers.

  His Dumbest Line: "He's a friend from work!"

  (#1) Taserface

  Who He Is: Taserface was a member of the Ravagers who led a mutiny against Yondu for leadership of the faction. He's gruff and arrogant, but clearly not a smart person when it comes to properly leading his people.

  Why Is He So Dumb? When he captured Yondu, he took out just about everyone who was still loyal to him, but left his former captain alive. He then decided to leave Groot alive, which was a serious error in judgment, given that he was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

  His Dumbest Moment: He knew how dangerous Yondu was with the Yaka Arrow, but he left the arrow alone and didn't snap it in half when he had the chance. He then left Yondu and Groot alive, which resulted in Yondu's escape, his acquisition of the fin and arrow, the demise of everyone loyal to Taserface, and the destruction of the ship. Also, he nicknamed himself Taserface thinking the name would inspire fear in his enemies, when all it did was make them laugh out loud in his face.

  His Dumbest Line: "It's too adorable to kill!"

  (#17) Thanos

  • Marvel Universe

  Who He Is: Thanos, the Mad Titan, is a man who believes the only way to save life in the universe is to snuff out half of it. To achieve this end, he hunts down and retrieves all of the Infinity Stones so that when he snaps his fingers while wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, his dream can become a reality.

  Why Is He So Dumb? To put it plainly, Thanos isn't unintelligent, dumb, or stupid. In fact, he's probably the smartest character in the MCU, but that doesn't mean he hasn't made some incredibly stupid decisions.

  His Dumbest Moment: Thanos's rationalization that the best way to achieve safety and security throughout the universe is to end half of all life wasn't thought through very well. Not only would wiping out half of the universe's plants, animals, and people result in chaos, more lost lives, and completely disrupted governments, it would also eliminate food chain supplies and leave most people starving. Accomplishing his goal had the opposite effect. He also consistently underestimated his enemies, and that was especially true at the end of Avengers: Endgame when he brazenly went up against the combined might of the MCU. Underestimating Tony Stark proved to be his dumbest move, as it resulted in the complete elimination of Thanos and every one of his people.

  His Dumbest Line: "You should have gone for the head."
• 

  (#2) Trevor Slattery / "Mandarin"

  Who He Is: Trevor is an actor who was hired by A.I.M. to play the part of "The Mandarin," a villainous revolutionary leader who struck fear in the hearts of Americans. He became a direct challenger to Tony Stark, and when it turned out he wasn't actually a leader, and merely the "face" of the group, he was revealed to be a bumbling moron.

  Why Is He So Dumb? He took a job that made him into a villain, he was responsible for numerous attacks even if he didn't carry them out, and he showed a great deal of poor judgment and impulse control problems.

  His Dumbest Moment: Once his true nature was revealed, everything he said and did showed how stupid the guy really is. His dumbest moment was taking the job of the Mandarin in the first place, but his dialogue with Stark didn't help improve anyone's opinion of his intellect.

  His Dumbest Line: "If you want something, take it, although the guns are all fake because those wankers wouldn't trust me with the real ones."
