Avengers gonna Avenge

The Endgame is upon us, and with the conclusion of Infinity War, our remaining Avengers will have a lot of, well, avenging to do. But who has done the most avenging to date? Read on for our very scientific rankings.

With not much avenging to his name as of now, Rocket will have plenty to avenge in Endgame considering he's the last Guardian standing.

She's tried and failed to go after both Gamora and Thanos, but will have the chance to avenger her sister's death in Endgame.

I'm still waiting for him to avenge being punked by Ant-Man.

The kid didn't even get the chance to avenge poor Uncle Ben this time around! As of now, he's technically only avenged an awkward ride to the homecoming dance.

She's helped the Guardians out, but her big need for retribution is directed at adopted daddy Thanos, who, last I checked, just killed her.

War Machine doesn't get much personal avenging to do. The closest thing we've gotten is Terrence Howard getting the No. 1 show on TV after being replaced in Iron Man 2.

He's really just lucky that others on this list haven't avenged against him.

I feel like she still owes Drax some payback for making fun of her, but she did help take down her master Ego.

In a short span, she's put together a solid avenging résumé, between protecting Wakanda and taking down her king's usurper.

She's only had one chance at avenge, and ask Jude Law's Yon-Rogg how that worked out.

He kind of got back at Loki for that whole mind control thing, but I guarantee that he never got back any compensation for all the extra farm expenses that he accrued when the team came for a visit.

If you kidnap his daughter, you will die. That is just a fact.

Yes, he saved Natasha from Ultron and got to repeatedly smash Loki, but how about he avenge being turned into the Hulk?

It's always nice when you can get even with your dad for abandoning you and then trying to kill you and destroy the universe. Well, it would have also been nice if your enemy didn't kill your crush and if this discovery didn't lead you to inadvertently helping him get free.

Being able to reverse time and bring your friend Wong back from the dead is pretty clutch. My one criticism here is that poor Pangborn is still waiting to be avenged!

Drax has half-avenged the death of his family, as Thanos is still out there to be killed, which means Drax has some possible upside in the future rankings!

She really should have had some more personal avenging opportunities, but this is a numbers game and being an OG helps her rise toward the top.

Technically created as a result of Ultron's actions, Vision ends up taking out the final Ultron drone in that showdown. And after Scarlet telekinetically pushed him hundreds of feet underground, Vision gets the ultimate payback: making her fall in love with him!

Her brother died as a result of the confrontation with Ultron. Ultron was subsequently destroyed. Looks like a perfect record to me.

When you're the original Avenger, then you better be near the top of the avenging rankings. And he's done well in the retribution department, with the only black mark on his record being Bucky just still out here despite having killed Tony's parents.

It doesn't hurt when your résumé goes all the way back to World War II. And while Bucky hasn't taken care of his business himself, like a good friend, Steve did some avenging for him.

He doesn't have the longevity of the others, but T'Challa doesn't mess around. Whether it was Zemo killing his father or Killmonger almost killing him, Black Panther comes for — and gets — you.

Dead mom? Check. Traitorous brother? Check. Destroyed home planet? Check. Lost eye? Check. You name it, Thor has avenged it.
