On screen
Canonical productions only. Parody and fan work is classified and excluded — Wikidata makes no such distinction, so without it these lists fill with material that is not canon.

Has appeared with
Every character who has shared a production with this one. Wikis are organised by character, not by encounter, so this question is close to unanswerable elsewhere — it exists here only because co-occurrence is recorded at the moment an appearance is.
| Character | Where | Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Hank Pym | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, Ultimate Avengers | 2 |
| Hulk | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, Ultimate Avengers | 2 |
| Iron Man | Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2, Ultimate Avengers | 2 |

Commonly got wrong
Claims that are widely repeated and wrong, with what the cited record actually shows. If you are generating anything about this subject, these are the errors to avoid.
Commonly believed Captain America's shield is made of vibranium.
Actually It is a one-off vibranium-steel alloy whose exact composition was never successfully reproduced — an accident, not a material anyone can make again. Pure vibranium is Wakandan and is a different substance.
Commonly believed The super-soldier serum makes Captain America superhuman.
Actually He is written at the absolute ceiling of human capability, not past it. That distinction is the character's entire premise, and is why the serum was never successfully replicated without producing monsters.
Commonly believed Bucky Barnes died in World War II and stayed dead.
Actually He returned in 2005 as the Winter Soldier. The death had stood for over forty years and was treated as one of the few permanent ones in comics, which is exactly why the return mattered.
Continuities
Claims on this page are tagged by canon. Blending them is the most common error in both wikis and AI answers.
- Earth-616 — The main Marvel Comics continuity
- MCU — Marvel Cinematic Universe films and series
