Vote up the most brilliantly heroic puns to have graced the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

With plenty of comic book inspiration to draw from, the Marvel Cinematic Universe offers up loads of laughs to go along with the seemingly unending amount of action they continue to provide on the big screen. The screenwriters who have worked on Marvel Studios films have seen fit to add plenty of MCU jokes and Marvel puns throughout the last decade of dominance.

Get ready to roll your eyes and chuckle under your breath at some good, old-fashioned wordplay.
