Avenger Rankings, Worst To First

We all know Hawkeye is the worst, but, who's next?

As promised in my previous article on Big Ten Conference mascots, I have decided that in anticipation of the upcoming Avengers movie this spring, it's officially time to rank the Avengers, worst to first. The way I grade the characters is not solely on their abilities, but rather the overall appeal of the character. But even then, Hawkeye is always going to be last, just to make that clear.

8. Hawkeye

Hawkeye is pretty horrible. His character overall in the Avengers' new movies is basically to sit there and be as dry as possible. He doesn't do anything cool, and he certainly can't save the world like his counterparts. Much like the Hawkeyes of Iowa, he sucks.


7. Vision

I am always confused by Vision. I can't seem to figure out if he's supposed to play a large role, or just sit there and feed advice to the Avengers, who rarely listen to what he has to say anyway. The only redeeming quality about him to me is that he isn't Hawkeye.


6. Scarlet Witch

Scarlet is better than Hawkeye and Vision because she actually brings some cool qualities to the team. She is able to manipulate energy and just destroy people with it. I do wish her character was a bit deeper, but her powers make her better than the former two.


5. Hulk

I get it. He's big, mean, and green, but what qualities does he bring to the team other than that? When he's not mad, he's just a lame doctor who gets into fights with all the other Avengers. BUT he does have the ability to destroy pretty much anything when he wants, so that's pretty cool.

4. Black Widow

She's a badass, plain and simple. Unlike Hawkeye, Black Widow's character has some depth and makes contributions to the team that don't involve sitting in the background and agreeing to everything that the people around her say — like Hawkeye (still horrible).

3. Captain America

Hear me out on this, I love America and would consider myself a patriot through and through, but Captain America isn't good enough to be considered an elite avenger. Sure, his backstory is pretty cool, and he's skilled in what he does, but oh my, I have never seen a bigger prima donna in my life. This man continually chooses to be petty with his teammates and doesn't ever have anything positive to say to, or regarding, his teammates. The only reason I put him towards the top is because he displays a fierceness about him that encourages other people around him, which makes him a good and deep character.


2. Iron Man

Iron Man is my favorite character in the Avengers, but I don't think he's the best Avenger overall. Here's why: Iron Man is an extremely well-developed character. The way he is able to be Tony Stark and Iron Man at the same time is amazing. The wit and sarcastic manner he carries about himself is amazing, yet his ability to be serious and share wisdom is also great. However, his natural abilities don't include much more than being a genius. without the suit(s) he can't do much. But, with the suit on, he is the best character in the series.

1. Thor

What a guy. Thor wins best Avenger in my book for many reasons. He always seems to be the Avenger who can resolve nearly every situation. He doesn't get ahead of himself, and, at the same time, he has a Herculean strength about him. His character is easily one of the most developed of all, and I think most people would agree, it's pretty hard to genuinely dislike the guy. Let's be real, Thor is clearly the best because without Thor, Marvel would have a hard time producing movies without including Thor's extraterrestrial enemies.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
