Even Gwyneth Paltrow’s Pepper Potts Has a Higher Kill Count than Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the MCU

As a seasoned gamer and avid follower of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I must admit, the kill count revelation of Pepper Potts has left me rather astonished! I always thought her role was more of a supportive one, not a lethal assassin. But then again, who would have guessed that even the Hulk, green and mighty as he is, had fewer kills under his belt?


In combat, superheroes and other comic book figures often inflict significant destruction. While unintended, incidents of harm and casualties do arise, irrespective of their intentions. However, there are instances where heroes deliberately take lives as it’s the only means to defeat their adversaries and emerge victorious.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that while some fictional characters like Batman and Superman are known for ‘no-kill’ policies, it’s more of an exception than the norm among superheroes. Most of them don’t hesitate to take lives, be it monsters, aliens, or other villains they face.

Given the circumstances, let’s discuss the number of people this intriguing character has killed, or in other words, examine the tally of deaths attributed to her Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart. The character at hand is none other than Pepper Potts, a figure you might not initially associate with such a list, but prepare to be amazed as we reveal how her kill count stacks up against some prominent MCU characters.

The information we’ve gathered about character kill counts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) comes from a list compiled by user Creedswede on IMDb. This meticulous user took it upon himself to track the kill tallies of both major and minor MCU characters, making sure to include some crucial observations. According to this data, Pepper Potts’ kill count is as stated below:

  • Iron Man – 1
  • Iron Man 3 – 1
  • Avengers: Endgame – 62
  • Total kills: 64+

Furthermore, she featured in films such as “Iron Man 2”, “The Avengers”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, and “Avengers: Infinity War”. However, she didn’t cause any fatalities in these productions. This was largely due to the fact that her character typically lacked an Iron Man suit in many of these movies, thereby restricting her potential actions (and some of these roles were mere cameos).

Regarding her upcoming roles, it’s been speculated that she might feature in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Ironheart,” but it seems unlikely that her body count will significantly rise in these films. The same speculation applies to her potential role in “Armor Wars,” although the film’s current status remains uncertain, so the future is hazy on this project.

However, at present, these are only speculations about the future. Consequently, we’ll need to observe the developments closely. Rest assured, we will inform you promptly once we acquire any fresh details.

It’s evident that Pepper Potts, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is responsible for the deaths of at least 64 individuals, primarily Thanos’ minions during Endgame. Now, this isn’t a particularly large number when viewed in isolation. However, when we consider it alongside other significant MCU characters like Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, Pepper Potts has a higher body count than the mighty Green Goliath!

In the context of “Deadpool & Wolverine”, these figures were recently revised. However, it’s important to note that Pepper Potts didn’t feature in that film, suggesting that these numbers remain reliable.
