If the Tesseract was in Asgard after the Avengers (Thor took it along with Loki) how come Von Strucker had it at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier? Even more at the end of Thor: The Dark World they said that they took the Aether to the Collector since they already had the Tesseract in Asgard. And didn’t want to Infinity Stones be together.

The last time saw Loki's scepter (before it was shown in the post-credits scene of Winter Soldier), all the Avengers were standing around a defeated Loki and Black Widow was holding it.  Is it implied that because HYDRA infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D., they got hold of Loki's scepter?

In issue 5 of the recent Incredible Hulk ongoing (vol. 3), it is revealed that      Dr. Doom   separated the Incredible Hulk and Bruce Banner. He does this using an adamantium chainsaw.   Image blurred to protect the innocent spoiler.  I was under the impression that adamantium was pretty much impossible to find and use outside of Ultron and the Weapon Blah program. Is it common enough that it's no big deal for the blurry fellow above to have gotten an adamantium chainsaw?

I'm planning on re-watching the currently-released 5 Marvel films prior to seeing The Avengers.  Have Marvel released any sort of official viewing order?  Captain America: The First Avenger seems like the hardest one for me to place in order with the rest.  It takes place prior to the other films, but has the greatest number of references to the other films.  So should it be watched first, or last?  The rest of them are relatively clear, as they're chronological in the order they're released, with the possible exception of The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 2 happening at the same time.

Although my question is based on the comic mini-series Infinity Gauntlet issues #1 through 6, I'm open to any and all answers (i.e Movies, other comic books etc. etc.) across the Marvel multi-verse.   It was elegantly presented in the Infinity Gauntlet series how Thanos, after collecting all the soul gems snaps his fingers and destroys half the universe.  Additionally, in the recent movie Avengers: Infinity War,       Thanos does it again! He snaps his fingers and destroys half the universe.   However, one thing is unclear to me. In both cases,      Half the universe is destroyed (or obliterated, or erased from existence).   But who decides which half of the universe should not exist anymore? Does the wielder of the Gauntlet choose, or is the Gauntlet (along with the stones) sentient enough to make the decision?

At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Captain America is given the job to go back in time and restore the Stones to where they stole them originally. The question: what exactly happened?  Did he plan on restoring them to right after they were stolen to make it as if they were never taken, or before? And either way, according to their time travel rules -- changing the past doesn't change the future, only create a new alternate universe. So how could they possibly travel back into that same alternate universe, if every time a new alternate reality is created?

In Avengers: Endgame, after recovering the 6 Stones, Hulk snaps his fingers and brings back all the lost characters but he can’t bring back Black Widow or Gamora as the sacrifices for the Soul Stone are final. However, he explicitly states he tried.  Since those characters had not died because of the snap it’s clear the resurrection part doesn’t need to be limited to just the snapped out people, do we have any information about all the people who died for reasons other than the snap? Were they resurrected too or are they still death?  I’m thinking here of Vision, Loki, the people from Xandar, the Dwarves, all the casualties on the fight with Thanos, etc.

Sorry, not quite sure how to format spoilers so I tried to keep the title vague.  Here's for the new Thor movie (just watched it last night):      How did Loki fake dying (and managed to fool Thor, the reinforcements who found his body and possibly Odin since he would have wanted to see the body after it was brought back)?   And follow-up:      Also, in the end, he's shown to have pretended to be Odin on the throne while talking to Thor about Thor's decision to stay on Earth. Where is Odin and how did Loki manage to do this? Did he do something to Odin?

In the very first few minutes Ebony Maw presents Thanos with the space stone and says to him that no one has ever had the power and honor to wield 2 infinity stones at the same time.  Is this a mistake? In the first Avengers movie, Loki DID. He received the scepter that contained the mind stone (which we only discovered during "Age of Ultron") from Thanos himself, in the hopes that Loki would bring back the space stone from earth. Loki wielded both stones for the entire movie.  The question is, am I missing something? Is Ebony Maw wrong? Hard to imagine that being the case, since Thanos was deeply involved in Loki's actions in the first Avengers movie. Is this an oversight by the writers? Has there been any explanation for this?

So there are two teams in Avengers: Endgame: Natasha (Black Widow) and Clint (Hawkeye)/Nebula and War Machine.   Yet Black Widow and Hawkeye were chosen for the mission to Vormir. So did Nebula know to send them since one loved one had to be sacrificed and she gathered that they both share a history or was it just a normal team separation?

Bucky (Winter Soldier) has a metal arm (possibly made from vibranium?) but it's an attachment to his body as far as I understand. Why, when Thanos destroys half of the universe at the end of Infinity War, does his metallic arm also disappear with him? Shouldn't it be left behind as his gun did?

I thought that normal people couldn't handle the Infinity Stones without something to control their power?    The main scene that drives this home for me is the end of Guardians of the Galaxy, where Peter Quill, being part eternal, can barely hold one Infinity Stone but in Endgame they treat them as just stones that anyone can hold.  Can this apparent discrepancy be resolved?

In the film Thor, Odin casts a spell on Mjolnir and strips Thor of his power.  He then banishes Thor to Midgard (Earth).  On Earth, Thor is seemingly just a strong and durable human.  Later in the film, he becomes worthy, and regains control of Mjolnir.  This then grants him his full power set and control over Mjolnir.  My question is, prior to this, could Thor control lightning all on his own?  Or is this purely an ability of Mjolnir?

There are so many "Why didn't Dr. Strange" questions related to the Thanos fight.   But I wondered, when they fought Thanos and tried to pull off the gauntlet, why didn't Strange just create and close a portal around Thanos' arm? Like in the city fight where that dude's arm was cut?  I guess it all has a reason because Strange saw many different outcomes but still, I really wonder.  PS: i am not asking why Strange didnt use the ring to port back to Earth. I mean specifically why he didnt cut Thanos' arm off.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor and other Asgardians don't appear to have visited the Earth for a considerable amount of time, certainly not after the English language was created.  Since there are have been no "recent" interactions between the humans and Asgardians, how are they able to understand and speak English?

As so many fans are so fond of pointing out, the Asgardians in the MCU are not actually gods, but rather a super-advanced alien race.  Their "magic" is merely technology, their lives are limited.  Any worship of them as divine beings is either a mistake (e.g. Odin) or a deception (e.g. Loki).  I  how I feel about this, but sadly, the matter has been settled.  And yet, that's not always how it is.  The comic book Thor seems to be a genuine god, at least he was during the , which revolves entirely around gods and their godly nature.  No mention is made of technology or advanced aliens, and numerous mentions are made of "godly" factors such as reliance on worship, etc, not to mention godly feats, like being tossed straight through a moon and coming out the other side.  There are also numerous physical distinctions, such as "godblood" being a material discernible from mortal blood.      And anyone who has read that arc knows that if the gods were merely highly advanced mortals, Gorr would have brought that up.    So I'm wondering, when did this van-Daniken-esque take on Thor begin?  Was it an invention of the MCU, or is there precedent in the comics?  Is this an Ultimate/616 split, or do different writers interpret it differently within the same universe?

In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos is depicted collecting 5 of the 6 Infinity Stones relatively breezily (as  where only for a moment do the Avengers come close to stopping him).  Where was he before the events of Avengers: Infinity War? If he's so powerful and capable, why didn't he do all this 10 years earlier or a week earlier instead of on this specific day (or two)?

The Avengers become divided, both over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to harness the Tesseract to develop weapons as a deterrent against hostile extraterrestrials.   Was this division due to Loki? i.e. Loki was present on the Helicarrier and due to his negative vibes the members of S.H.I.E.L.D. were divided and started fighting to each other.
