Which MCU hero has the highest kill count?

All the MCU heroes (from both movies and TV shows) are partying in a bar. They get drunk (yes even Cap - because Thor gave him some of his more potent stuff) and start bragging about how many foes they've dispatched.
As usual we go by onscreen feats, but in this case we also assume that any hit that looks like it should be lethal will be considered a kill, even if it's not specifically shown on screen that the victim actually died. All we need is that the hit was done on screen and we have reasonable cause to assume it was a lethal strike.
So with that in mind, which hero can claim bragging rights for highest kill count?
Psychotron
Likely Thor due to being old as ****.

My money would be on Thor, considering that he's been at it nearly a thousand years longer than any of the non-Asgardian MCU heroes.
But are we going off implied career/lifetime kills, or just onscreen? Because in terms of actual onscreen kills, Iron Man has a sizable amount. And if we are including the space-based characters, Yondu has killed an absolute f***load by now.
FrothByte
No, not implied kills, because Thor would have too massive an advantage. We're basing on what we see on screen.
TheVaultDweller
Well, then Yondu is a serious contenders. Yondu killing that field full of guys at the end of the first GotG, plus the ship clear from the second one, likely puts his confirmed kill count in the several dozen. And Rocket also potentially killed like 50 to 60 guys during the forest scene in GotG volume 2.

But it's hard to gauge, because of things like the Battle of New York. We see Iron Man blow up scores of the Chitauri flyers, and each one appeared to carry 2 soldiers IIRC. And Thor blew up 2 Leviathans, which were shown to each carry squads of foot soldiers, and that's without going into the rest of their kills in that battle, or from other films.

Wolverines killed a crap ton of fodder people too or is he not allowed here due to Fox owning his rights?
John Murdoch
Cap and Thor both flirt with the top spot, but I'd agree with the great call by Vault: Yondu (GotG 1 & 2 arrow scenes) and maybe Iron Man (the village terrorist takedown in 1, the drone kills in 2, the AIM soldier kills in 3, the Chitauri and Ultron bot kills in Avengers 1 & 2).

Yeah I was trying to limit this just to MCU.

The real question is this: can we all petition Kevin Feige to make this concept into a movie or at least an MCU one-shot? I'd watch Avengers tower kill count quipping montages all day long.
Really cool idea Froth.

Thanks! It would be great to see the Avengers (and other MCU heroes) get into a pissing contest about who's the MVP of heroes, with matching montages and kill counts to act as their season stats.

Punisher has had quite a few.

True, Supes loves mass murder.

Deadpool, Wolverine, no contest.
KingD19
If it's MCU, Yondu Udonta has the most shown onscreen kills. He takes out at least 30 in the first movie after the crash. And in the sequel he drops like 70 or more guys on his ship.
I don't think Rocket killed all those Ravagers, just stunned them. Although...those falls were pretty brutal.

Well, that's hardly fair.
FrothByte
I wonder how many Frost Giants Thor killed with the Jotunheim buster.
TheVaultDweller
That's tough to call. We briefly see a lot of them running away, but then the focus moves to Thor and his friends. Could have been 20, or it could have been 200, for all we know.
TheVaultDweller
Okay, so this most likely isn't the highest, but I thought it deserved an honourable mention, considering the guy is a street leveler with no powers. Someone on Reddit actually went through the entire S2 of Daredevil and tallied Frank's confirmed kills. It apparently comes to 98. Not bad IMO.

Jeeze. 98 for only being a secondary character appearing in half a season? I wonder what his kill count will be once he gets his own show.
TheVaultDweller
Probably well into the hundreds lol. IIRC, the showrunners said that it's going to be pretty violent, even compared to everything else we've seen from Marvel Netflix.

Wolverine.
He has appeared in a ton of movies, and killed so many.
Not mentioning he has participated in several wars so, until now i think Wolverine.

Eson the searcher isn't a MCU heroe. He could be a villain or just not a heroe.
But yeah, he would be on top if we are refering to any character.

Cap probably, just in his first film he was in World War 2 for christ sake lol
