THE AVENGERS vs THE US MILITARY - WHO WOULD WIN? (Disney Marvel Avengers Endgame Movie 2019) - YouTube
Channel: The Infographics Show
[0]
As you know from watching our military-themed
shows or just because you follow the news,
[4]
the USA spends more on defense than any other
country by a long, long way.
[10]
The amount of cash is said to be close to
$650 billion, and there is a lot you can do
[15]
with that kind of money.
[16]
The arsenal of weapons that the U.S. has is
mind-boggling, while we are told that the
[21]
military has around 1,350,000 active personnel
and around 810,000 people in reserves.
[28]
Thatâs some number, and then we have special
forces included in that number as well as
[34]
the latest computer technology to fight wars
from a distance.
[37]
Add to that nuclear weapons, and you could
say that it isnât an exaggeration to say
[42]
the U.S. military is a force to be reckoned
with.
[45]
And then we have the Avengers, who are just
a handful of people, but with incredible powers.
[50]
They are superhuman, so we can say that they
stand a chance against the behemoth of the
[55]
U.S. military.
[56]
We know that the Avengers were put together
under something called The Avengers Initiative,
[60]
and that was overseen by the intelligence
agency S.H.I.E.L.D.
[63]
We should tell you that in the comics there
are so many Avengers if we were to write a
[67]
show on them all it would last three hours,
so we are not including everyone.
[71]
According to the Avengers fandom website,
the main team consists of the following people:
[77]
We have Tony Stark, aka, Iron Man, who when
first approached to join this crack team didnât
[82]
seem very interested.
[83]
He is famous for once saying, âI told you
I don't want to join your super-secret boy
[88]
band.â
[89]
He joined anyway, and with him we also had
a guy called Steve Rogers, aka, Captain America.
[94]
Add to that the irascible Hulk, aka, Bruce
Banner, and the guy with the impressive hammer,
[99]
Thor Odinson.
[101]
Other members are Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow,
James Rhodes/War Machine, Scott Lang/Ant-Man,
[107]
Clint Barton/Hawkeye, Widow, Rocket Racoon
and Nebula.
[111]
We might also add that in the comics Spiderman
is part of the Avengers, but seeing as the
[115]
movies are more popular than the comics these
days, we are not going to include him.
[119]
Our team is The Avengers you will see on the
big screen.
[122]
Ok, we donât expect the Avengers to go against
the military, but this is a hypothetical show
[127]
and we just want to try and find out how things
would work out if that were to happen.
[131]
We therefore need to know what kind of powers
these people have.
[134]
This is a long story, but weâll try and
keep it short.
[137]
Captain America has Superhuman Physiology,
meaning he is incredibly intelligent but also
[142]
has amazing movement, strength, reflexes,
perception, and super-fast healing, making
[147]
him a kind of perfect soldier, a fighting
machine.
[150]
Not only that, as we said, he is super smart,
and so when fighting he is a tactical genius.
[156]
Add to him, Iron Man.
[157]
This is the clever, but sometimes arrogant
man Tony Stark.
[161]
He can control his suits with his mind, and
once he is wearing them as you all know he
[165]
flies around at high speeds, has incredibly
powerful weapons attached to him and an armor
[170]
that is like nothing else that exists in the
real world.
[173]
He will never give up and he is a genius able
to outwit just about anything on planet Earth.
[178]
The Hulk, as you know, is one of the most
powerful beings in the universe.
[182]
He has superhuman strength, speed, durability
and can heal very fast, too.
[187]
He is a wrecking ball, but with superhuman
senses.
[190]
Thor has similar strength, but then he also
has that hammer that he can destroy just about
[195]
anything with.
[196]
Although he has problems when certain people
have that Infinity Gauntlet on their side.
[200]
He has powerful armor and also fast healing
abilities, but much of the time he relies
[204]
on his hammer, the Stormbreaker, to do the
business.
[207]
This almost indestructible weapon can withstand
just about any kind of blast, and that will
[212]
go along way when fighting the USA.
[214]
Black Widow has superhuman intellect and she
can also outwit her enemies with ease.
[219]
She is an amazing fighter, but is also practiced
in the arts of deception.
[223]
You wonât know sheâs got you until itâs
too late.
[226]
She is a master tactician, but also said to
be one of the most dangerous assassins there
[230]
is.
[231]
You can guess by the name that Hawkeye is
a master marksmen, but the arrows that he
[235]
uses are by no means conventional.
[237]
He can take just about anything out with his
bow, so he is kind of a sniper with superpowers.
[242]
Letâs just say that War Machine is not that
dissimilar from Iron Man, but perhaps not
[247]
as powerful.
[248]
As for Antman, he might not be much when he
is in human form, but when he is small he
[253]
has superhuman strength and of course has
the added bonus of being the size of an ant.
[258]
He has incredible speed, too, so he is kind
of a juggernaut that no one can see.
[263]
Nebula also moves incredibly fast and has
great strength, to add to that she can incinerate
[268]
humans with those blasters she has tied to
her arms.
[271]
As for Rocket Racoon, he is quite similar
in that he likes to blast things out of existence.
[275]
He is fast and strong, but can also fly better
than most when he has a ship of course.
[280]
Heâs no Hulk or Iron Man, but we can imagine
he would make short work of a bunch of soldiers
[285]
on the ground.
[286]
Who is the strongest Avenger?
[287]
Thatâs the million dollar question, but
we might think itâs between Thor and Iron
[291]
Man, with the Hulk perhaps having the best
physical strength at times.
[295]
But in the end he likely wouldnât be a match
for Thorâs hammer and iron Manâs bounty
[299]
of weapons and his quick mind.
[301]
Just reading a few articles about this, some
people seem to think Thor is the strongest
[305]
just because he is not only fast and strong
like the rest of them, but that Stormbreaker
[309]
is just a deal-breaker.
[310]
Again, we must say that the comics have many
more characters, but even then in the comics
[316]
Thor has shown that he can beat any other
when he has to.
[319]
So, what does the USA have in its arsenal?
[322]
According to Newsweek, the most powerful weapon
that the country has is the B83 Nuclear Bomb.
[327]
This is 80 times more powerful than those
bombs dropped on Japan at the end of the second
[332]
world war.
[333]
Just one of these could cause untold destruction,
but the problem is, when you are fighting
[337]
a handful of people they might not be much
use.
[340]
Maybe U.S. intelligence is aware of where
the Avengers are, but even if that were the
[344]
case we would think iron Man would likely
be aware of any plan to use a bomb.
[349]
The U.S. military no doubt would have been
hacked, or perhaps Antman or Black Widow would
[353]
have secretly infiltrated the military.
[356]
Even if a bomb were being close to send-off,
it could easily be intercepted by Iron Man,
[360]
or Thor could just knock it out of the atmosphere
with his hammer.
[363]
At the same time, the U.S. would likely not
use one because of all the innocent people
[368]
that would die and all the destruction that
would occur.
[370]
Even though this bomb, or things such as the
Trident II (D5) Missile, are said to be the
[375]
most destructive available in warfare today,
we doubt they would be much good against the
[379]
Avengers.
[380]
Now, letâs imagine that the U.S. doesnât
want to cause that kind of damage.
[384]
What might it do next?
[385]
Well, there is a thing called the Massive
Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) and this can find
[390]
people hiding out in bunkers and blast them
to kingdom come.
[394]
The air force describes it as a âweapon
system designed to accomplish a difficult,
[398]
complicated mission of reaching and destroying
our adversaries' weapons of mass destruction
[402]
located in well-protected facilities.â
[404]
So, if the military could find out where the
Avengers were hiding no doubt this kind of
[409]
thing could do some damage to those who donât
have the best healing abilities.
[413]
But again, we reckon that they just wouldnât
be able to get one off before the Avengers
[417]
knew about it.
[418]
Even if it did hit them, most of the Avengers
team would survive and then all hell would
[422]
break loose.
[423]
We havenât talked about Avengers attack,
just defence.
[426]
What kind of weapon would the USA have that
could stop an angry Hulk from getting right
[430]
into the Pentagon and just taking out a lot
of top generals.
[433]
The U.S. might have some amazing military
aircraft, but it doesnât have anything that
[438]
could get out of the way of Thorâs hammer
or out of the path of Iron Man.
[441]
Meanwhile, Antman is busy walking right into
the White House and holding the President
[445]
up by his feet.
[447]
Operations would just fall apart, and anyone
knows that in warfare once you take out all
[451]
the leaders the whole operation comes apart.
[454]
On the ground the U.S. military would be its
weakest just because the Hulk could tear through
[459]
tanks while Captain America was busy taking
out anyone holding a gun.
[462]
It would be a massacre on the ground, just
as much as it would be a massacre in the air.
[467]
Thatâs just our opinion though, and so we
went online to see where this question has
[471]
been asked before.
[472]
It was asked on Quora, and on one thread the
top answer started with saying that the Avengers
[477]
are by no means, a âbunch of ignorant and
unethical superheroes.â
[481]
So, this person says they would fight and
only fight in a way that caused the least
[485]
destruction.
[486]
But to cut a long story short, he said pretty
much the same as we said.
[489]
The military wouldnât have a chance.
[492]
Another person disagreed, saying that the
military would pull out secret weapons.
[495]
He also said some of the Avengers would likely
defect from their group, and that would be
[499]
a game changer.
[500]
He kind of cheated, too, saying if there is
such thing as the Avengers then there must
[505]
be such thing as all superheroes and if they
joined the military then the Avengers would
[509]
lose.
[510]
Another person said that if it was the U.S.
that attacked first there would be a possibility
[514]
of winning.
[515]
He said that the military would have to get
each Avenger when alone, attack only one,
[520]
because as a team they are undefeatable.
[522]
He believed that every Avenger has a weakness,
especially when they are not in superhero
[526]
mode, and so each could be carefully taken
out.
[529]
He did admit though that there is a problem
with Thor, who doesnât drop his guard very
[533]
much.
[534]
On a different forum someone had a similar
answer, stating, âIf the Avengers existed
[538]
for real, you can pretty much guarantee that
most governments will have plans cooked up
[542]
to counter easy and every one of them.
[544]
Heck, a simple sniper could deal with half
of them.â
[546]
Still, Thor would be a problem, and even if
you, say, took out Tony Stark, would not all
[552]
the others get together pretty fast?
[554]
We looked at many answers, and most people
it seems think the Avengers would win.
[558]
Some people even said that if Hulk and Thor
were in the right, or wrong, frame of mind,
[562]
they could wipe out humanity if they so choose.
[565]
Just the two of them.
[566]
We guess the only thing now is to open this
question to you.
[570]
So, who do you think would win and explain
why you think it would go that way.
[574]
Tell us in the comments.
