New research has revealed which characters, careers and jobs are the most inspiring when portrayed in the Marvel Universe — with Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel — named the most influential. The findings, pulled together by Irish casino Slotbox, looked at the jobs held by the main characters featured in all MCU movies and Marvel TV series, and conducted a search analysis to identify any related uptick in career interest, inspired by the characters. Each character was then awarded an influence score, reflecting changes in search interest after each TV show/film debuted – revealing the biggest on screen inspirations.
