It’s a Good Thing Captain America Doesn’t Have a “No-Kill” Rule Because His MCU Numbers Are Eye-Watering

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel universe, I must admit that I was taken aback by the sheer number of lives Captain America has claimed in his MCU adventures. With a kill count of 132+ enemies, he has certainly left a trail of destruction in his wake.


Superhero characters from comic books often unintentionally cause significant destruction during their battles due to the intensity of their conflicts. Regrettably, accidents and even fatalities happen, regardless of their intentions. However, there are instances where these casualties are deliberate, as superheroes may have to eliminate their adversaries to secure victory.

Occasionally, there are instances where I find certain superheroes adhere to a “no-kill” policy, such as Batman and Superman. However, it’s essential to clarify that this is more an exception than the norm for most superheroes. Typically, they aren’t hesitant about taking lives, be it humans or extraterrestrial beings, monstrous foes, or any other adversaries they encounter in their line of duty.

Given that, let’s delve into the tally of deaths associated with a pivotal comic book hero, namely Captain America, whose body count from the Marvel Cinematic Universe may shock you.

Our data originates from a user-generated list found on IMDb, compiled by Creedswede, who meticulously recorded the number of kills for both major and minor Marvel Cinematic Universe characters, with pertinent observations included. According to this information, Captain America’s kill count is as shown below:

  • Captain America – 34
  • The Avengers – 17
  • Captain America: The Winter Soldier – 20
  • Avengers: Age of Ultron – 40
  • Captain America: Civil War – 7
  • Avengers: Infinity War – 8
  • Avengers: Endgame – 6
  • Total kills: 132+

Moreover, he featured in films like “The Dark World”, “Ant-Man”, “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, “Captain Marvel”, and both “Deadpool” and “Wolverine”. He also appeared in “Loki”. However, it’s important to note that he did not make any kills in these productions. This is primarily due to the fact that his roles were either cameos or scenes using archived footage of him.

It’s evident that Captain America has surpassed many MCU villains and other superheroes in terms of enemies neutralized, with at least 132 confirmed kills in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Although he falls short compared to Iron Man’s impressive kill count of over 1100, this number is still significant.

Regarding future developments, there’s a strong buzz suggesting Captain America could return for “Secret Wars,” potentially in other appearances too, either as the original hero or as an alter ego known as Nomad. However, these speculations remain unconfirmed at this point. If, as rumored, he does make a comeback, you can expect some changes in the numbers and possibly a higher kill count compared to the current tally.

The figures provided were last revised during the timeframe of the “Deadpool & Wolverine” film, in which Captain America was not featured (even though Chris Evans reprised his role as Johnny Storm). Therefore, it’s reasonable to consider these numbers reliable.
