I like we're seeing the old school heroes, mentoring or training their rookies or family members. And which one is your favourite?

It's great to see the remaining old heroes by becoming mentors or helpers to make their students or family members and making them better versions of themselves as well.

Definitely Clint and Kate. They had great chemistry, worked well together in combat and they way were able to open up with each other was really well done

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-24 11:37

Yeah, one of my favourite moments of the show

Icy_Cry41202025-10-24 13:06

I loved this show man. Too bad they are not continuing it.

Additional_Ice_3582025-10-24 11:40

I wish it was executed more in depth and we were able to see it in the movies/tv shows, lots of lost potential there. For me, the prospect of Strange and America Chavez would be amazing. Would explore the multiverse while developing Strange into the mentor he could become.

But the mentorship actually displayed on screen it's by far Hawkeye and Kate Bishop. Great chemistry and probably the most rewatchable show. Hoping for a season 2.

>For me, the prospect of Strange and America Chavez would be amazing. Would explore the multiverse while developing Strange into the mentor he could become.

The fact that Strange seems to have almost immediately dipped to follow Clea across the Multiverse despite knowing that America already lost him in her own universe, as well as her moms, is a recipe for future drama, lmao. Especially if he ends up siding with Doom.

MCU's first deadbeat mentor. Left America to Wong to do all the raising.

Eastern_Hornet_64322025-10-24 12:37

To be fair to Strange, it'd be pretty irresponsible to take Rica along on a dangerous mission to the Dark Dimension before she's learned to control her powers. Part of being a mentor is knowing what your protegée is and isn't ready for.

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-24 12:48

True, true. And duty calls him, and he is the only person powerful and knowledgeable enough for the job, so he cannot stay in Kamar-Taj with her while the Multiverse is collapsing either. He's trying to save the world that she lives in, and thus to keep her safe too, I guess.

But still, it's harsh. The kid has lost her parents, is stranded in a universe that isn't hers, and already went through losing a variant of him. She probably misses him a lot, and I guess if Wong and she were to appear in Doomsday or Secret Wars it would be because he hasn't come home yet and they're a bit worried about his whereabouts.

LotharMoH2025-10-24 13:56

>Left America to Wong to do all the raising

Isn't that Wong's lot in life in the MCU? He puts things back together after Strange gets dusted, leaves his mentee behind.

Oh, that and hanging with Madisynn

Here's my attempt to list all of the current and potential heroes that could fit the description of a "legacy" hero, though I concede a few of these are a little bit of a reach:

* **Hawkeye:** Kate Bishop mentored by Clint Barton
* **Black Widow:** Yelena Bolova mentored by Natasha Romanoff
* **"\_\_\_Marvel"**: Kamala Kahn mentored by Carol Danvers
* **God of Thunder:** Love ~~Odinsdottir~~ Thorsdottir mentored by Thor Odinson
* **Iron Man / Spider:** Peter Parker mentored by Tony Stark
* **Hulk:** Jennifer Walters mentored by Bruce Banner
* **Ant-Man:** Cassie Lang mentored by Scott Lang
* **Wolverine:** Laura Kinney mentored by Logan
* **Falcon:** Joaquin Torres mentored by Sam Wilson
* **Black Panther:** Shuri mentored by T'Challa
* **Mystic Arts:** American Chavez mentored by Stephen Strange

I've excluded Riri Williams because while she does take on an Iron Man esque mantle, she doesn't actually interact with Tony. I think Yelena and Kate are obvious choices but that might be partly because they've both had a good amount of screen time.

Eastern_Hornet_64322025-10-24 12:30

Wouldn't it be Love Thorsdottir? Or Love Gorrsdottir.

Also I dunno if we can really say that T'Challa mentored Shuri. More like T'Chaka and Ramonda mentored them both.

BravoLeader30002025-10-24 12:33

I was about to make a similar comment.

eltrotter2025-10-24 12:48

Yeah I didn’t actually know how it works, to be entirely honest.

I just looked it up and I think you’re right, it would change with each generation. I originally thought the surname originates from one “patriarch” and then stays the same over successive generations but that doesn’t really make much sense now that I think about it.

Reading more about it now, it seems that a lot of Swedish and Norwegian surnames did become “fixed” during the 19th century, so that’s probably how I got mixed up. I think Thor would probably be more likely to use the more traditional naming convention.

Stripe-Gremlin2025-10-24 13:10

Or whatever Gorr’s last name was, for all we know his people don’t have last names

PirateBeany2025-10-24 14:06

I mean we've been talking about Odinsdottir and Thorsdottir, and neither Odin nor Thor is a last name.

Which makes sense, as that Nordic naming convention uses the parent's first/given name to make the child's surname. Do Norse gods have last names?

eltrotter2025-10-24 14:44

Thor has been referred to as "Thor Odinson" in the MCU before, and I believe Loki has been referred to as "Loki Laufeyson" and Silvi as "Silvi Laufeydottir".

PirateBeany2025-10-24 16:33

Sorry: yes, obviously. But I meant in the way that other European-derived names are, with successive generations using the same last name (like Smith or Jones), rather than switching it from generation to generation.

eltrotter2025-10-24 16:37

Oh I see what you mean. Sorry!

PirateBeany2025-10-24 14:09

Obviously Natasha and Yelena interacted a lot as kids -- they were in the same family, after all -- but how much mentoring did Natasha get to do? They were both in the BW program, and the vast majority of Yelena's training came from the program, not Natasha.

Of all the ones listed above, while Clint & Kate is most people's top choice (for obvious reasons), I think Sam Wilson/Joaquin Torres looks like the most straightforward actual mentoring relationship, rather than two people thrown together haphazardly due to circumstance.

eltrotter2025-10-24 14:16

As I said, I’m using some pretty loose definitions here in order to capture everyone who might fit. There is a bit of a mentor / mentee relationship in Black Widow, but it’s not a long term thing.

marvelcomics222025-10-24 11:53

Hawkeye and Hawkeye are peak, they had great chemistry

Aromatic-Cupcake48022025-10-24 11:58

Clint and Kate. It almost feels like a partnership rather only sometimes a mentorship. Hailee and Jeremy’s chemistry is perfect with the dry humour/sarcasm. It also helps that Kate has been idolizing Hawkeye her whole life and he always downplays how cool he is.

Wooden_Passage_26122025-10-24 12:04

Yep. Which I love

_c_e_m_2025-10-24 12:11

America is fine asf

skronk612025-10-24 12:24

They tried to pass the torch too quickly though and now nobody has faith in the new gen of heroes

SharpshootinTearaway2025-10-24 12:35

Almost all of those new gen heroes are still training under their respective mentor, no torch has been fully passed yet.

Eastern_Hornet_64322025-10-24 12:43

Well, some torches have been passed. Steve passed the torch to Sam, and I don't think Nat can mentor Yelena anymore. And Shuri is definitely fully the Black Panther. No training wheels there.

skronk612025-10-24 12:56

I don’t think Hawkeye will be coming back either after his public comments

Eastern_Hornet_64322025-10-24 13:10

Nah, he'll be back. Scarlett Johansson sued Marvel over Black Widow profits and they'd still work with her if Nat wasn't already dead.

skronk612025-10-24 13:47

“If Nat wasn’t dead” is a load bearing phrase there for your statement 😆

Eastern_Hornet_64322025-10-24 15:19

True enough!

Jarita122025-10-24 12:30

Clint and Kate is basically the only answer. It was done well. Clint was really a mentor, without turning into a guest star on his own show/movie or turning into a silly goofball and idiot. Most of those were passed too quickly, without hearing about the new people ever again or will have to wait for a long time.

BravoLeader30002025-10-24 12:32

I like all of them, but the Hawkeyes for sure have the best on-screen chemistry.

TrinaTempest2025-10-24 12:36

America

ubutterscotchpine2025-10-24 12:43

Clint and Kate. My second would be Carol and Kamala.

GXTnite12025-10-24 12:44

Unpopular opinion, Love and Thor

Stripe-Gremlin2025-10-24 13:11

I honestly did like their dynamic at the end and would honestly enjoy an entire movie about that

Single-Pianist-22112025-10-24 13:06

I’m not at all a fan of the obsession marvel has with “passing the mantle” but that said Chris with his actual daughter there is so adorable

The_Orgin2025-10-24 13:28

Only Clint and Kate belong to this category.

It seems like all the old heroes are men but all the new heroes will be girls. No new young men joining? The only guy so far is wiccan but he's pretty feminine.
