For more than a decade, superhero movies have stood head and shoulders above other genres in terms of box office receipts, media hype, and star power. In particular, Marvel's remarkable Cinematic Universe—perhaps the most successful franchise of all time—has taken over Hollywood and produced smash hit after smash hit.

One of the strengths of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is its ability to emotionally connect audiences with its characters, with humor playing a major part as well. Every character is carefully humanized in the films. Look at Tony Stark's ego issues, Thor's family issues, and Peter Parker's high school days. Even with the villains, this happens regularly: Thanos's background and motivations are crystal clear. The minor characters also helped shape the entire universe. Without them, the MCU would not be as engrossing as it is today.

This quiz tests your knowledge on the many characters that exist in the MCU, from the Avengers, to the villains and side characters. Can you still identify them after we have removed the 6 letters M-A-R-V-E-L from their names? Your goal is to figure out each of these Marvel character names and type them out in full. If you were a true believer, you should be able to do this.
