1'''Everyone''' gets their moment at some point, though some characters stand out more than others:
2* Captain America is kind of a snarky bastard—which is fitting for a guy who spent the first twenty-odd years of his life as a pipsqueak whose only real weapon was his mouth.
3* Naturally, ''Film/IronMan'' has its titular armored hero Tony Stark, which then gets taken to the next level in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', and even moreso in ''Film/IronMan3''. Said film is even directed by the already-mentioned Shane Black.
4** Some of his better ones are as follows:
5--->'''Brandt:''' Really? That's all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?\
6'''Tony:''' Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.
7--->'''Christine Everheart:''' Mr. Stark, you've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?\
8'''Tony:''' Absolutely ridiculous, I don't paint.
9--->'''Captain America:''' Wait, Stark! We need a plan of attack!\
10'''Tony:''' I do have a plan. Attack.
11** And so on.
12* It doesn't stop there. He programmed JARVIS to be this for SnarkToSnarkCombat.
13* ''Film/{{Thor}}'':
14** Clint Barton, when a group of S.H.I.E.L.D agents unsuccessfully tries to stop Thor from entering the facility:
15--->'''Clint:''' Do you want me to take him down or would you rather send in more guys for him to beat up?\
16'''Clint:''' You better call it Coulson, cause I'm starting to root for this guy.
17** Then, in ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', "Clint" turns out to be Hawkeye and joins a whole [[WorldOfSnark Team of Snarkers]].
18** Loki, who seems to become snarkier with each film.
19--->'''Loki:''' ''[in a casual tone of voice]'' It's good to have you back. Now if you'll excuse me, [[spoiler:I have to destroy Jotunheim.]]
20** Sif, who mostly snarks good-naturedly at her friends.
21* Thor gets his own good-natured snark moment at Sif in ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'':
22-->'''Sif:''' I've got this completely under control.\
23'''Thor:''' ''[looks around at the destruction]'' Is that why everything's on fire?
24::: He ramps up the snark considerably in ''Film/ThorRagnarok''.
25--->'''Loki:''' I can't see into the future, I'm not a witch!\
26'''Thor:''' ''[looks at Loki's all black suit]'' No? Then why do your dress like one?
27* [[WorldOfSnark Everyone]] in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron'', [[CreatorThumbprint as par the course for a Whedon script.]] Even Ultron gets in on it.
28-->'''Tony:''' What's the Vibranium for?\
29'''Ultron:''' [[SarcasmMode I'm glad you asked that]] [[EvilGloating because I wanted to take this time]] [[GenreSavvy to explain my evil plan]]!
30* Nick Fury. Full stop.
31-->'''World Security Council:''' Director Fury, the council has made a [[NukeEm decision]].\
32'''Nick Fury:''' I recognize that the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a ''[[SophisticatedAsHell stupid-ass]]'' decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.
33* Scott Lang has many moments too. Sometimes [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] tropes about the franchise itself, like the characters often using PaperThinDisguise to blend in.
34-->'''Scott Lang:''' These aren’t disguises. We look like ourselves at a baseball game.
35* And of course, ComicBook/SpiderMan eventually joined the universe.
36-->''[A gang of thugs are robbing a bank wearing cartoonish Avengers masks]''\
37'''Spider-Man:''' ''[in trailers]'' Wait a minute, you guys aren’t the real Avengers! I can tell! [[TheBigGuy The Hulk]] gives it away.
38** His eventual girlfriend, MJ is even snarkier than him.
39** [[spoiler:When the [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy other two]] [[Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries cinematic incarnations]] of ComicBook/SpiderMan arrive in the MCU in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', they both prove to be as snarky as the average Marvel lead.]]
40** [[spoiler:Even the Raimi-Verse Spider-Man is shown to have his moments of snark, despite not being very snarky in his own movies.]]
41--->[[spoiler:'''Peter 3:''' Max was like... the sweetest guy ever. Before he fell into a pool of electric eels.]]\
42[[spoiler:'''Peter 2:''' [[BlackComedy That'll do it.]]]]
43** [[spoiler:The Webb-Verse Spider-Man is also as snarky as he was in his films.]]
44--->[[spoiler:'''Peter-3:''' So are you [Peter 2] gonna go into battle dressed like a cool youth pastor or do you have a suit?]]
45* Wanda Maximoff, while less so than other characters, has her moments too. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as she used to watch old American sitcoms with her family as a child.
46-->'''Dr. Strange:''' Your children aren't real. You created them with magic.\
47'''Wanda:''' ''[eyes wide with faux-innocence]'' That's what every mother does.
48* Doctor Strange as played by Creator/BenedictCumberbatch is very snarky. He even manages to give Tony Stark a run for his money in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' when they converse.
49-->'''Strange:''' … [[ComicBook/{{Thanos}} He]] could destroy life on a scale hitherto undreamt of.\
50'''Tony:''' ''[leaning on a large cauldron and stretching his legs]'' Did you ''seriously'' just say [[AntiquatedLinguistics "hitherto undreamt of"]]? \
51'''Strange:''' Are you seriously leaning on the Cauldron of the Cosmos?
52** He doesn't stop snarking even when he is in [[Film/DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness a different universe (Earth-838, to be precise)]], while handcuffed and being introduced to the Illuminati.
53--->'''838-Mordo:''' …The Smartest man alive, Reed Richards, of the ComicBook/FantasticFour.\
54'''838-Reed Richards:''' Hello Stephen. \
55'''Dr. Strange:''' Fantastic Four? ''[smirking]'' Didn’t you guys chart in the '60s?\
56''[[[ActuallyPrettyFunny Reed smiles]]]''\
57'''838-Captain Marvel:''' I’m sorry, is this a joke to you?\
58'''Dr. Strange:''' Well, there’s a guy over there with a fork on his head so, yeah. Little bit.
59** He also gets in a lot of SnarkToSnarkCombat with Wong, who is as much of a snarker as Strange himself.
60* Thanos also lets out a fair share of snide quips.
61-->'''Loki:''' If I might interject… If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena.\
62'''Thanos:''' If you consider failure "experience."
63* What makes Thanos's successor as the MCU's BigBad Kang an effective KnightOfCerebus is the fact that he ''lacks'' any snark in his first appearance.
64* With [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} Deadpool]] finally arriving in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wade Wilson continues his extremely snarky trend from his comic book and previous live-action film appearances.
