10. Hawkeye
Whether working as an Avenger or on his own terms, Clint Barton’s sharp wit is always on full display. With sarcastic quips and deadpan humor, he never takes himself too seriously which adds much-needed levity to any situation. Though a highly skilled archer and spy, Hawkeye’s comedic timing and disdain for authority have given him plenty of amusing storylines over the years.
9. She-Hulk
As a lawyer who also turns into a giant green powerhouse, Jennifer Walters finds herself in many ridiculous scenarios. However, she handles it all with hilarious fourth wall breaks (much like Deadpool), mockery of her own comics, and self-aware digs at Marvel tropes. She-Hulk isn’t afraid to poke fun at herself or point out plot holes for fun, making her among the funniest female heroes in the universe.
8. Beast
While highly intelligent, Hank McCoy’s appearances, socially awkward nature and random acts of scientific experimentation often lead to amusing goofs. Whether turning blue, growing furry, or tinkering with concepts beyond his skill, Beast bumbles charmingly into fortunate foibles. His brawn is matched by his ability to find lightness in darkness through wit and wonder.
7. Squirrel Girl
With powers to communicate with squirrels and a strength that bests all foes, Doreen Green takes heroics lightly. She brings cheer to missions with her bubbly optimism and informal style that create irregular humor. By conquering immense threats through bizarre tactics or by happy accident, Squirrel Girl proves that it doesn’t take muscles when you have nuts on your side.

A genetically engineered raccoon with a penchant for mischief and massive guns, Rocket adds scoffs and sass as a Guardian of the Galaxy.

While tough, his pint-sized stature and trash panda tendencies work together to entertain as he saves the day.
5. Iron Man
As a cocky billionaire playboy, Tony Stark backs up his bravado with quick wit. Piloting advanced armor, he cracks jokes even in the heat of intense fights. Whether bantering with friends like Captain America or mocking villains with their robotic faces, Iron Man balances brains, bravery, and bad jokes to consistently amuse.
4. Human Torch

3. Ant-Man
As a size-shifting scientist and father with diminutive powers, Scott Lang is constantly stumbling into misadventures. Whether enlarging everyday objects or shrinking at untimely junctures, he’s a walking and talking embarrassment waiting to happen. Ant-Man’s slapstick and underdog heart create a hero who’s equal parts heroic and hilarious.
2. Spider-Man
Peter Parker’s quick quips in the face of danger are the stuff of legend. While dealing with great responsibility, he adds ounces of humor through witty jabs and one-liners that brighten any page. Beneath the mask, he’s a forever fumbling, yet dedicated everyman who saves with sparks of smart fun flying from his lips faster than his webs. With great hilarity comes great comic relief, and Spider-Man defines both in the most spectacular fashion.
1. Deadpool
Breaking every rule (which even includes 16 walls) with glee, Wade Wilson lives to generate chaos through violent jokes and pop culture references. As a mercenary who knows he’s fictional, Deadpool skewers Marvel tropes while chopping baddies minus inhibitions. Whether mocking missions or flirting with death, his unhinged energy fuels unpredictable stories that never fail to amuse.
