History TheFriendNobodyLikes / MarvelUniverse

* ''Film/Deadpool2'': Wade lampshades that none of the big-name X-Men ever seem to be around. While the out of universe reason (which Wade [[BreakingTheFourthWall points out]]) is that the studio didn't have the money, in-universe it seems they're all intentionally avoiding him for being an annoying, murderous AntiHero. The main cast can be briefly seen for a few seconds... and they quickly close the door before Wade notices them.

** It becomes especially pronounced in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'' where Tony gets the lion's share of the blame for creating Ultron, despite the fact that Bruce had quite a bit to do with it too. Of course, this is mostly because Bruce admits he was in the wrong and apologizes (and was a lot more cautious about the whole thing to begin with) while Tony thinks he was still in the right and keeps trying to justify his actions.

** Loki appears to have been this to his peers on Asgard. In ''Film/{{Thor}}'', Sif and the Warriors Three crack jokes at his expense and only seem to tolerate his presence because they're friends with his brother. In a memory seen in his [[Series/Loki2021 spin-off series]] Sif once delivered a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech after Loki cut off her hair as a prank. Thor does care about Loki but also expresses irritation at his manipulative behaviour and ChronicBackstabbingDisorder.
** Thor himself ironically becomes this in ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder''. After joining the Guardians of the Galaxy, it's made clear from the start that, at this point, he's overstayed his welcome. He has to be told to pull his weight to defend a planet in distress. [[spoiler: Although he singlehandedly disposes of the invaders, he destroys the king's palace]]. It's almost a relief to Star-Lord when Thor decides to leave to help Lady Sif. The Benatar takes off and flies through a jump point before Thor can even finish his farewell speech.

** For that matter, most Spider-Heroes tend to be this on some level, sometimes even to other Spiders. For example, after the events of ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'', ''everyone'' came to see ComicBook/{{Silk|MarvelComics}} as an annoying, childish screw-up for a good while. The only one of the Spiders that escapes this status is [[Characters/SpiderWomanTitleCharacter Jessica Drew]], who (among other things) is the only one who doesn't have a secret identity.

* The [[Characters/MarvelComicsRedSkull Red Skull]] is without question THE biggest example in the Marvel Universe. He's a literal Nazi that was not only the right-hand man of [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] himself, but he maintains a fanatical belief in Nazism in the present, [[EvenEvilHasStandards much to the disgust of the other villains]]. Very few, if any villains genuinely admire or even like him. (Crossbones, a ''neo''-Nazi, is one of those exceptions.) Even ''[[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]]'' turned on him in [[ComicBook/BatmanAndCaptainAmerica a crossover]] when he realized that the swastika on his uniform wasn't a stylistic choice and was in fact a dead-serious representation of the Nazi ideology. The Skull is particularly despised by [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]] (a Jewish mutant whose backstory heavily features time in a concentration camp) and Characters/DoctorDoom (a man of Roma descent who takes nearly everything ''very'' personally), and because Magneto is particularly influential among villainous mutants and Doom is... [[MemeticBadass well, Doom]], this tends to drag his reputation down among everyone else. Not even [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheKingpin the Kingpin]] wants to do anything with him (American capitalism clashes with Nazism as both would tell you). He's rarely ever involved in villain team-ups because the partnerships almost always conclude with his newfound allies trying to kill him. One of the few times he did join a LegionOfDoom, in one of [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]]'s all too common off days, the day wasn't even over before Magneto ''[[BuriedAlive buried him alive]]''.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} was this on the ComicBook/XMen, early in his career. Basically, he was a huge {{Jerkass}} who argued with everyone except [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]], and even with her made it very clear he'd like nothing better than to get [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]] out of the way. His popularity, CharacterDevelopment, taking a paternal role with [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Kitty Pryde]] and [[Characters/XMen90sMembers Jubilee]], and mellowing of his personality due to self-discipline have made him the person ''everyone'' wants on their team, because he gets things done and always has your back. (The version of Wolverine in the Comicbook/UltimateMarvel universe was even less popular, because the Ultimate universe's DarkerAndEdgier approach meant that Ultimate Wolvie was ''even more'' of an asshole.)

** [[Characters/MCUIronMan Tony Stark]] can be this guy to the other members of the eponymous ''Film/TheAvengers2012''. He's deemed selfish and arrogant by most of his peers (and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dossier on him as well) and particularly [[Characters/MCUCaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]] finds him to be abrasive and an un-heroic glory hound. However, he's a good member of the team and did ultimately come around and win the respect of his fellow members. Funnily enough, Tony's abrasive, casual attitude ''does'' get him the friendship of [[Characters/MCUTheHulk Bruce Banner]], since Tony is the only person who treats him like a human being instead of a ticking time bomb. [[spoiler:This comes back to help him at the end of the film, where Tony nearly dies falling to Earth and the Hulk, recognizing their friendship from his time as Bruce, saves his life]].

* ''ComicBook/TheAvengers:'' During the five minutes he was with the team, nobody got on with the Hulk. Thor was itching to start a fight with him (and Hulk was itching to start one right back), Iron Man thought it had been a mistake allowing Hulk on the team at all (techincally, they didn't. Hulk was the first to suggest joining together in the first place.) And Wasp was just flat-out terrified of him. The only one who was willing to give Hulk a chance was Giant-Man. Hulk didn't make it easy by just generally being a jerkass to everyone, and then turning on them in a paranoid rage.
* For the heroes Namor the ComicBook/SubMariner, ComicBook/ThePunisher, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}, and Sunfire. Namor for being a considerable {{Jerkass}} and AntiHero ''at best'', the Punisher for being a murderer who doesn't arrest criminals (and he also makes it clear to almost any hero he encounters that he regards them as dangerously naive), Deadpool for being a psychopath and annoying, and Sunfire for being a self-righteous, [[MyCountryRightOrWrong obnoxiously patriotic]] asshole [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero with a xenophobic streak]]. Of them, only Deadpool and Sunfire have gained any true acceptance from the other heroes; the former because of his CharacterDevelopment and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold tendency to help others]], the latter because of his skill in battle and courage.

* For the villains, nobody really likes Boomerang. Even with the usual pack of no-hopers who make up the lower echelons of Marvel's RoguesGallery, Boomerang goes further than most by being a [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], [[DirtyCoward cowardly]], [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder backstabbing]] asshole with [[SmugSnake an ego visible from space]] [[SmallNameBigEgo but basically nothing in the way of achievements to back that up]]. It's so bad that he's forced to buddy up with Life Model Decoys of his old [[ComicBook/SuperiorFoesOfSpiderMan Sinister Syndicate buddies]] because they tossed him out and is currently (and unknowingly) living with Spider-Man!
* ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy:'' Much of the time, no-one on the team can stand Starhawk, thanks to his enigmatic and aloof behavior, and general tendency to never explain himself ever beyond saying he is "the one who knows". His sister Aleta has more reason than most of them to outright hate him, what with the whole "being used as a glorified power-source and hardly ever let out for a thousand years" thing, and when they're finally separated in the 90s series, she takes the opportunity to vent a thousand years of pent-up anger at him.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' gets this treatment from time to time. ComicBook/{{X 23}} [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/7666/1162823-marvel_team_up_06__2005__page_20.jpg makes sure he's aware of it]]. In the original run, i.e. ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', this was because he was a HotBlooded HeroicWannabe with TestosteronePoisoning, prone to harassing the Fantastic Four and fighting them so that he can audition to join them. After he mellows out and loses the major chip on his shoulder, other heroes still dislike him because of his [[CasualDangerDialogue constant joking and battle banter]], with some of his comments being poignant examples of DiggingYourselfDeeper that make other supers less than happy to team up with him. Other superheroes also find his mask and his fixation on having a private life (i.e., maintaining a SecretIdentity, which many Marvel heroes don't) selfish and a sign of his lack of commitment.
