The focus in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is on superhero action like the Battle of New York and heavy sci - fi concepts likea lot of stones that command the spacetime continuum , but almost every movie has a romantic subplot piled on top .

As we ’ve gotten to experience these characters andsee their journeys , we ’ve also seen them devolve in and out of sexual love a crew of time . Just like with any such franchise , some of these couples have been lovable and adorable , while others have been dull and boring . So , here are The 5 Best ( And 5 Worst ) Couples In The MCU .

Best: Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter

Steve Rogers ’ love for Peggy Carter was right at the center of his MCU part arc . He left behind a lot of matter in the forties , buthis best friend also made it to the twenty-first centuryand he was able to go on being a soldier in the present twenty-four hours , so his biggest loss was Peggy .

While many fans were expecting Captain America to be killed inAvengers : Endgame , he in reality gota much felicitous and more satisfying end to his character arc . Steve finally got to have that saltation with Peggy that he ’d been hold off 70 years for – and he get under one’s skin a lifetime of marital bliss with her , too .

Worst: Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter

This whole romanticist pairing was a fault from the beginning . It does n’t even fathom like a good thought on paper . Steve Rogers was freeze in the ‘ forty when his romance with Peggy Carter was burgeoning and was n’t melt out until 2011 . By then , Peggy was really old and soon to be on her deathbed , so Steve was alone – untilhe shacked up with her granddaughter , Sharon Carter .

She looked vaguely like Peggy and shared her DNA . The relationship had weird incestuous vibes and the producers wisely enervate it out of the franchise . But we ’ll always call back that it was once a affair .

Best: Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne

Scott Lang has a pretty singular situation for a superhero in that he ’s a divorced Father of the Church . Superhero stories usually advocate the traditional values of the nuclear family , so it ’s rare that a comic leger character finds loveafterthey’ve been married and had kids .

His relationship with Hope Van Dyne got off to a rocky starting time inAnt - Man , but as it get inAnt - Man and the Waspand they became an ass - boot superhero team , they became one of the MCU ’s best twain . Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly are both incredibly likable doer , andthey have vivid on - concealment chemical science together . The characters are a sodding match for one another and it ’s a joy to find out them together .

Worst: Thor and Jane Foster

Ugh ! This is mainly down to the MCU portraying Jane Foster as the most boring female lead in a blockbuster franchise since Bella Swan . It ’s also partly because , prior to Taika Watiti ’s contributions , Thor was the most wearisome Avenger , too .

It might have been a dissimilar account if Thor hadbeen the odd guyfrom the beginning and Natalie Portman was given a character that her talent deserve . It was wise when the producer decided to make out Jane from the franchise , but one wonders if her love affair with Thor could ’ve been pay off if they ’d shared some scenes inAvengers : Endgame , which was the original design .

Best: Black Panther and Nakia

Depicting a great couple on - screen takes a lot of things . The actors want to be great , they demand to have chemistry , and they need to be likable – andChadwick Boseman and Lupita Nyong’o ’s pairing as T’Challa and Nakiachecks off all three . The way of life their quixotic subplot is portrayed inBlack Pantheris singular , too .

It ’s not about a grind falling for the girl next door or two co - workers clear they bed each other like every other film . The movie is really set after they ’ve been together and broken up , and now , they ’re reckoning with the feeling that they still hold for one another .

Worst: Stephen Strange and Christine Palmer

Despite the copious cant ofsurreal visuals and trippy storyline to dig out of the strip , 2016’sDoctor Strangewas a depressingly generic . The visual effects were spectacular and the magic characters were portray as mystical as they could ’ve been , butthe descent story was formulaicand the romantic subplot was creative thinker - numbingly terrestrial .

Despite Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel McAdams being singly great actors , they do n’t have any on - screen chemistry . Stephen Strange was given a passion pursuit for no reason other than to check it off the list of superhero line of descent story requirements . Their romance came and went without a trace .

Best: Luke Cage and Claire Temple

It was a substantial disaster earlier this year whenNetflix decide to cancel all of   their Marvel shows , although it was more of a tragedy that we ’ll never get see some character again than others . While other twosome on Netflix ’s Marvel shows – namely , Matt Murdock and Karen Page , or Danny Rand and Colleen Wing – did n’t have any on - screen chemistry and were doom to fail , Luke Cage and Claire Temple really had something .

They had a lot in uncouth , relish spend sentence together , and were among the most interesting parts inThe guardian , the miniseries thatended up vote down Netflix ’s Marvel - verse line .

Worst: Scarlet Witch and Vision

Captain America : Civil Wartook the two least interesting characters in the MCU – Scarlet Witch and Vision – and crammed them together in a romanticist relationship . While the two fiber are unbelievable in the cartoon strip , something about Wanda Maximoff ’s boring , droll MCU characterization and Paul Bettany ’s banal , monotonous agate line rescue as Vision have made them easily the worst couple in the MCU .

A memorable graphic symbol being paired up with a forgettable character is one thing , but two forgettable persona is the worst of both earthly concern . Disney has announce that on their upcoming cyclosis service , Scarlet Witch and Vision will get their own television serial publication . No , thanks .

Best: Natasha Romanoff and Bruce Banner

No one understand the romantic entangling of Natasha Romanoff and Bruce Banner do inAvengers : Age of Ultron . But once MCU buff got used to it , it seemed like a good fit . She ’s the only one who can dothe “ Sun ’s getting real depleted … ” lullabyto get Banner back out of the Hulk .

He may have hadhis own internal battle run on between Banner and the Hulk , but he really handle about her . They were the MCU ’s very own star - crossed lovers . It ’s just inauspicious that there was no means Natasha could date Professor Hulk , andthen she died anyway .

Worst: Tony Stark and Pepper Potts

Whether or not Tony Stark and Pepper Potts make a good match is actually a pretty divisive military issue in the MCU lover community . But it ’s middling obvious that they ’re not . Tony on a regular basis puts Pepper ’s life history at peril – sometimes in her own home – and respond to constantly disappoint her by spending money rather of offer up his time and emotions .

When Tony grab an participating projectile inThe Avengersand head up through a wormhole to possible die , his A.I. Jarvis asked him if he ’d wish to call Pepper and he suppose he might as well . That ’s not a sign of rightful love – that ’s a signal of being burdened by a terrible family relationship .
