Marvel Celebrates Superhero Dads (Plus Thanos) In Father's Day Post
Marvel greets all of the MCU's superhero dads for Father's Day 2022, but also includes some eyebrow-raising picks like Thanos. More than ten years after it began, the MCU is still going strong with a robust mixture of movies and television shows. Currently, the behemoth franchise is unraveling its latest Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel, while gearing up for the July release of Thor: Love and Thunder. Beyond that, Marvel has She-Hulk in August and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in November.
When the MCU started in 2008, fathers were already a big part of the franchise's storytelling. Tony Stark was dealing with his problematic relationship with Howard Stark in both Iron Man and Iron Man 2. Meanwhile, in Thor, Odin's parenting of Thor and Loki received plenty of attention. Beyond Phase 1, fathers have come in all shapes and sizes. Hawkeye and Ant-Man are the most prominent family men in the franchise, not to mention Hank Pym. The MCU also shows that not all fathers are great, as seen with Thanos inAvengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. So far in Phase 4, Shang-Chi's Wenwu and Black Widow's Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian have also been introduced.

In the caption, they're called«Super Hero dads.» However, some fans are quick to point out that not all of the fathers included are heroic. If anything, it shows how varied the MCU is when it comes to its characters. Check out the slide of images below:
