1. Wanting an Iron Man suit:
Iron Man 3 had a plethora of different Iron Man Suits. The entire movie was any Marvel fan's dream. We all secretly want an Iron Man suit. We also want our own Jarvis. How cool would it be to have a suit that is voice activated? All the cool technology Tony Stark owns makes all of us nerd envious.
2. Sitting through all the credits:
All Marvel fans are guilty of this. We don't just wait until after the credits. We wait until the screen goes black. We wait until the curtains close. Then we wait a couple more minutes. We're all filled with that sense of paranoia that Marvel is trying to trick us, so we sit and we wait until the doors nearly close.
3. Waiting for the Stan Lee cameo:
We wait with bated breath for the Stan Lee cameo. It's the best part of any Marvel movie. None of us can wait to see how Stan Lee will appear. Will he be a garbage man? Will he be a bystander? Will he have a bigger part? How funny will the scene be? Even if it's not actually all that funny, we still laugh. We laugh because it's Stan Lee, which is like seeing Santa Clause for any Marvel fan.
4. Saying "Stan Lee" when he actually appears:
Even though we're all waiting for him, we still feel the need to announce it to everyone when we see him. It's like Where's Waldo for Marvel fans. Spotting Stan Lee means we have to announce it. We have to share in the glee of spotting him. Every Stan Lee cameo is comedy gold to any Marvel fan.
5. Black Widow is our queen:
She is a one woman army. Black Widow is an incredibly independent female character. She kicks butt better than any of the guys. She's only human, but she keeps up with all the non-human superheroes.
6. Loving all Marvel villains:
We love all of our Marvel villains. Marvel villains manage to be both funny and evil at the same time. They usually have witty humor and sarcastic remarks. This causes the Marvel fandom to go crazy. Huge fandoms have formed just around the Marvel villains.
7. Peggy Carter is our other queen:
Peggy Carter, like Black Widow, is just a human that kicks butt. She is an agent that fought her way to the top. The men she worked with were sexist towards her, but she still continued to work hard to solve crimes. She fought her way through everything, and inevitably became the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.
8. Saying "Hulk Smash":
All Marvel fans know the phrase. It's what our favorite giant green monster says all the time. True Marvel fans have the tendency to say this phrase in everyday conversation. Most people when they're angry start yelling or something else. Marvel fans will literally say "Hulk Smash" to try and relieve the tension they're feeling.
9. Owning many many Marvel shirts:
All Marvel fanatics own multiple shirts with Marvel logos and characters. We love our fandom, and we love to express it.
10. Pretending to shoot spider webs out of your hands:
Yes. We still do this. Adult Marvel fans pretend to shoot spider webs out of their hands. It's a thing. Don't bash it. We all deserve to act like children sometimes.
