Current Situation: These have been a crazy couple of years for Peter Parker. First, he was bitten by a radioactive spider (off-screen) and his uncle died (presumably), then he was recruited by Tony Stark to help him out in a battle against Captain America’s rogue heroes. Armed with a Stark-made super-suit, Peter protected his hometown of Queens as (a friendly neighbourhood) Spider-Man. After stopping the supervillain known as the Vulture, however, Peter was offered a place as an official Avenger – which came with the perk of an upgraded suit.

Last Seen: Black Panther (2018)
Current Situation: Back in 2016, Prince T’Challa lost his father King T’Chaka when Zemo orchestrated an attack on the United Nations Sokovia Accords summit. Later that week, he returned to his home country of Wakanda to be crowned king. Unfortunately, his first few weeks as monarch were far from easy, as his ruthless cousin usurped the throne. Once he got it back, T’Challa decided to end Wakanda’s isolationism and shared its technology and resources with the world. When Infinity War kicks off, it’ll have been two to three years since we last saw the heroic king.
