Even Cobie Smulders’ Maria Hill Has a Higher Kill Count in the MCU than Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk

As a long-time fan who has witnessed the evolution of Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, I must say that Maria Hill‘s kill count is nothing short of astonishing! Growing up watching these heroes and villains clash on screen, it was always assumed that the superheroes would have a higher body count. But little ol’ Maria Hill, the seemingly unassuming agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., has managed to outdo many of them!


In most instances, battles between comic book characters – including superheroes – often result in significant destruction. It’s important to note that this isn’t deliberate on the part of the superheroes, but unintended damage and even casualties can occur regardless of their intentions. However, there are situations where the casualties are purposeful as defeating enemies might require a superhero to take lethal action.

Occasionally, there may be instances where superheroes like Batman and Superman follow a “no-killing” policy, but this is more the exception than the rule. Typically, superheroes aren’t hesitant about using lethal force against their adversaries, regardless of whether they are humans or other beings such as aliens, monsters, etc.

Given that context, let’s delve into the number of victims a captivating character has left behind. To be precise, we’re referring to the kill count of her Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart. The character we’re focusing on is none other than Maria Hill. Prepare yourself for astonishment as you discover the extensive list of characters she’s taken down (and yes, it surpasses even the Hulk’s tally).

Our data originates from a user-created list on IMDb, compiled by Creedswede, detailing the number of kills for both main and secondary Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, complete with significant observations. According to this data, Maria Hill’s kill count is as follows:

  • The Avengers – 1
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier – 83
  • Captain America: Civil War – 6
  • Total kills: 90

Furthermore, she featured in films such as “Avengers: Age of Ultron”, “Avengers: Infinity War”, “Avengers: Endgame”, and “Spider-Man: Far From Home”. However, she didn’t contribute to any kills in these productions, primarily because her roles were cameos or not central to the storyline. She has also made appearances on several TV series, with “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” being one of the most notable, but the exact number of times she appeared on these shows is not specified.

Maria Hill, with a staggering 90 kills in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, certainly earns the title of an exceptionally formidable character. This tally far outweighs many MCU villains’ body counts and exceeds that of most superheroes. In point of fact, when matched against other heroes, she outperforms – for instance – both Hawkeye and even the Hulk (considering both Norton’s and Ruffalo’s portrayals), a feat that undeniably stands out.

It’s regrettable (or fortunate, contingent upon one’s viewpoint) that Maria Hill’s tally of deaths she has caused in the MCU won’t rise further, as her character was killed by Skrull Gravik during the occurrences of Secret Invasion.
