Solutions

1:A - It’s Pepper Potts of course, played by Gwyneth Paltrow. Pepper’s been put through the ringer in her numerous appearances, cleaning up Tony’s various messes, taking over Stark Industries and very briefly, after being infected with extremis, even gained super powers of her own. , 2:B - They enjoyed tasty, tasty shawarma. After helping save a city you’re bound to get a little bit peckish. This extra little scene was filmed two days after the Hollywood premiere – if you look carefully you’ll notice Chris Evans is covering his face to hide a beard he was growing., 3:A - Vibranium is a virtually indestructible material in the Marvel universe. It’s not just the people of Wakanda that take advantage of its strength – Captain America’s iconic shield is made of it, Bucky Barnes’s arm was built from it and Vision’s whole body is vibranium-based., 4:C - Hawkeye is pretty handy with his bow – did you know that the scene from Captain America: Civil War where he shoots Ant-Man on an arrow is lifted directly from the cover of Avengers Vol 1, issue 223?, 5:B - Rhodey technically stole an Iron Man suit in Iron Man 2, which caused a few problems with Tony. Thankfully, their bromance overcame all and War Machine eventually became a member of the Avengers., 6:C - Of course they know each other from work. This brilliant line was improvised on set – not by Chris Hemsworth but by a kid who was there as part of Make-A-Wish. , 7:D - The Eye of Agamotto is a powerful mystical item, and one of the infinity stones that Thanos is desperate to get his little purple hands on., 8:A - Stan Lee, what a guy. Like a benevolent being overseeing his creations, he pops up in many Marvel films., 9:A - In the Marvel universe elves aren’t peace-loving creatures that live under waterfalls – they want to destroy everything that ever existed just as much as the next villain. Their plan was to use the aether to do it – but, as it turns out, the aether is the infinity stone of reality., 10:A - Howard the Duck, the cigar-smoking joker isn’t the only Marvel character the Collector owns. He also has Cosmo the telepathic Soviet dog., 11:D - Oh the Chitauri, who would have thought their attack on New York would have such wide ramifications? Not only did the Vulture create a flying suit from what he found, but HYDRA’s experiments on space junk inadvertently led to creation on Ultron., 12:B - Peter Quill’s obsession with the 90s goes far beyond his excellent music choices. He named his ship The Milano after his childhood crush, Alyssa Milano. , 13:A - When Steve Rogers was given the super serum he became one of the first enhanced humans. This was also the first time we caught a glimpse of an infinity stone, in the shape of the Tesseract., 14:A - Veronica – a mobile service module deployed from a satellite – carries the hefty Hulk buster suit, which Tony can put on in the event of Hulk-related emergencies., 15:C - The soul stone is the final thing on Thanos’s shopping list. Loki has the space stone, the mind stone is on Vision’s forehead, the Collector holds the reality stone, the power stone is currently being protected by the Nova Corps and Doctor Strange keeps the time stone in a nice necklace.
