With Marvel branching out and incorporating television shows into the MCU canon, characters new and old have been explored in greater detail. From beloved heroes to sidekicks to villainous antagonists, the Marvel Cinematic Universe boasts some well-developed, well-rounded, flawed yet human characters audiences can relate to.
Having such an array of multifaceted characters, the MCU’s intriguing roster of characters can be easily categorized by the twelve zodiac signs. Audiences can identify parts of themselves with the MCU’s TV show characters and the traits often connected to certain zodiac signs.
12 Aries (March 21 – April 19) – Sam Wilson
Fiery fire signs, Aries are known for their ambition, competitive nature, and bold personality. They’re often recognized for being team leaders and fighting for their beliefs. In The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Sam Wilson comes into his own as both a person and as a hero.
Following the death of his friend Steve Rogers, Sam continues fighting for what he believes is right and uses his voice to stand up for those who have been silenced, particularly Isaiah Bradley. Sam proves himself a leader and a worthy carrier of the “Captain America” title.
11 Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Bruno Carrelli
Taurus are the stable, dependable friend everybody needs in their lives. Often apprehensive about change, they are very present in their current situations and aim to get the most out of their life.
Bruno Carrelli is Kamala Khan’s rock when she’s going through her journey of becoming Ms. Marvel and growing up as a young, Pakistani-American woman. Bruno has the opportunity to attend Caltech but is apprehensive about leaving the security of his life and his close relationship with Kamala to move across the country.
10 Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Kate Bishop
The Air sign Gemini is usually associated with people whose personality consists mostly of infectious charisma, playfulness, and an intense curiosity. Similarly, Geminis tend to have no filter and will talk without really processing what’s leaving their mouths.
Hawkeye’s beloved newcomer Kate Bishop embodies the traits of most Gemini. Overly curious and invested in Clint Barton’s role as an Avenger, Kate gets them into trouble many times throughout the series. Kate is incredibly charismatic and optimistic and audiences can’t help but be drawn to her character,
9 Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Wanda Maximoff
Cancers are extremely strong people, often to their detriment. As seen in popular MCU movie and TV character Wanda Maximoff, cancers bottle up their feelings and hide their pain, which can lead to disastrous consequences.
While Cancers deeply feel emotions and are very sensitive people, they are afraid to be vulnerable — often due to past experiences — in case they are deemed weak. Wanda tries so hard to stay strong but experiences constant trauma that builds up within her until it explodes and causes complete chaos.
8 Leo (July 23 – August 22) – Kamala Khan
Being a young woman growing up, Ms. Marvel’s Kamala Khan is attempting to discover who she is and where she belongs in the world. Despite the difficulties in her life, she remains a warm, creative character and friend with a huge personality.
Kamala embodies the common traits belonging to the zodiac sign, Leo. Leos crave their chance to be in the spotlight and have a fiery passion for life, wanting to make the most out of every moment. They often light up a room and are deeply loving people.
7 Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – Mobius M. Mobius
Virgos are usually smart, logical, and practical people who think all their decisions through. They can be extremely judgemental, but with everyone’s best interests at heart. This is exactly how Mobius treats Loki during their questionable relationship and reluctant friendship. Virgos are sometimes distracted from their tasks because their minds are full of ideas, and they have a lot of mental energy. Mobius displays this by pushing away his tasks and thinking about what his life could be like if he didn’t have so much responsibility at the TVA.
6 Libra (September 23 – October 22) – Steven Grant
Moon Knight‘s Steven Grant is an anxious, shy, and passive individual. He rarely stands up for himself and becomes extremely stressed out when the dangers of Marc’s life begin to merge with his own.
Steven embodies common Libra traits. He doesn’t wish to be alone, despite his isolation and struggles to make decisions about his own life. Like a Libra, Steven tries to avoid conflict by any means possible, which makes being thrown into Mr. Knight’s life extremely difficult for him, even as he starts to harness his own power.
5 Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) – Yelena Belova
One word to describe a Scorpio would be cool. Scorpios are often laid-back, mysterious individuals who make an awkward moment comfortable again. On the other hand, it can feel like they’re capable of staring into another’s soul with just one look.
Yelena Belova is an elusive individual to Kate and Clint in Hawkeye and carries an air of mystery. However, she’s still funny, likable, and sports some cool outfits. Despite being a Black Widow assassin hired to kill Clint, Kate can’t help but like Yelena.
4 Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – Monica Rambeau
Most Sagittarius are confident and optimistic, therefore people often look up to them and respect them. While assertive and honest in most situations, Sagittarius’ are also deeply empathetic, compassionate, and wonderful people to have by one’s side.
Monica Rambeau is committed to helping the people of Westview and enters the Hex herself in an attempt to understand what’s happening. However, despite recognizing Wanda is behind the containment of the town, Monica remains compassionate and tries to help Wanda manage her emotions.
3 Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – Clint Barton
Capricorns are known as the hardest working sign. They’re dedicated to their cause yet manage to remain patient and mature throughout the struggle. However, Capricorns also repress a lot of their emotions, believing they interfere with progress
In Hawkeye, Clint Barton shows his dedication to correcting the mistakes he’s made in the past. He shows patience when it comes to Kate’s involvement in the situation, and becomes something of a father figure to her. Clint shuts out his emotions, following Natasha’s death. Through Yelena, he learns to come to terms with the loss.
2 Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – Bucky Barnes
Anyone who’s an Aquarius can probably relate to feeling like an outcast. Despite loving and advocating for humanity as a whole, Aquarius rarely form connections with individuals. When they do, those relationships are strong. Bucky Barnes battles with feeling like an outcast, unsure where he fits into society as a hero when he has such a dark past.
Bucky feels very connected to both Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson, two of the only people he’s ever befriended in his life, and is deeply affected by Steve’s death. However, there’s hope. At the end of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Bucky is in a stable place surrounded by Sam’s family who treat him as one of their own.
1 Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – Darcy Lewis
Oftentimes, Pisces are romantic, laid-back people who are prone to living in a fantasy and forgetting whether their experiences are real or if they dreamt them. In that sense, Pisces often adapt their personalities to match those around them.
In WandaVision, Darcy Lewis is very much taken with going against authority and matching the energies of Monica Rambeau and Jimmy Woo. Darcy shows her connection to romance when she meets Vision and tells him she believes the love he shared with Wanda was real and true, supporting them as a couple.
