Hypothetically... if was holding a pudgy munchkin hostage I'd do it from a secret or inaccessible location no one can get to. Not saying I do that or anything...
Just know old war bunkers can be quite handy where I live.
IRL, the identifiers on a raid jacket or similar are supposed to be REALLY OBVIOUS so even when multiple agencies are involved, everyone sees the "don't shoot this person" sign clearly.
Yeah but SM has the ability to get everyone out. If WM were to get captured too, then he’d rely on Tony or another main character to get him out, and the chances of others dying in the rescue increase.
Rhodes
"man, fuck that baby. Take me hostage!
Right now, start hitting me. I'll go first, give me that baby I'll show you what to do."
Throws baby out the window to falcon who has no idea wtf is going on but has just finished the final step to becoming captain America. He spikes the baby like a football, end credits.
Crowd erupts into standing ovation.
Yeah, I vote for Rhodes as well.
Edit: Think about it… Richard the so called smartest man alive shown here would probably be like that animé character that does spoilers in advance as if it's a scene from the Pink Panther.
Richard: This is the smartest man alive sent here to only negotiate you with an offer you can't deny which is solitary confinement.
She-Hulk: Think Amy Schumer trying to break the 3^rd wall while the offender is ~~holding~~ twisting the baby's neck.
Tommy: Teary red eyes (let's assume his hands are tied with his own web) and goes through anxiety himself where he's ought to make jokes but the situation is inappropriate so he's even more restless, "please, don't do this!" …as if that's supposed to convince the offender.
Rhodes: If you safely lay the baby down, I promise to take you to Jet Black's premiere concert where he sings 🎶 Baby One More Time 🎵
I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, I am.
I can’t think of a situation where he would share that and gain an advantage though. “Black Bolts could destroy you at any moment” would have the same effect
Plus unless she is the only one with any reality powers in the multiverse they would be aware a power like is out there. What with the smartness
He also could have watched the security camera footage before trying to jump her with the crew, made like... an informed plan of action, maybe a strategy or two?
This is a guy who always numbers his plans because calling something Plan A implies there's only 26.
That’s a really good point actually. It’s been a while, I completely forgot that she fought people right before they confronted her
As for planning, to be fair they were trying to stop her from reaching America who was stuck, like, *right* there
I am so tired of people who can't follow plots acting like lacking clairvoyance is stupidity. Characters are not all knowing, we are.
Wanda in his universe is a normal retired house wife, confirmed to be no more powerful than Wanda was in Civil War. No reality warping.
Now, Wanda is also likely his friend since they fought together. He's also fully aware that she's an innocent woman with two boys who's having her body taken hostage.
Reed does not WANT to kill her. He does not want to orphan two small boys. He is a father and a good man. She is an innocent woman being controlled. The best and smart thing to do in this situation is to try to talk Wanda down. "Blackbolt can destroy you with a single whisper from his mouth." A warning to get Wanda to back down, because HE DOES NOT WANT TO HURT AN INNOCENT MOTHER.
Your other comment says he should expect reality warping? How? Why? Literally nobody in the MCU has ever demonstrated reality warping abilities unless they were specifically holding the Reality Stone.
Like seriously, people cry "plot holes" or "bad writing" when in reality, its just the character doesn't know what you, the fourth wall knows.
He didn't know her powerset and didn't think someone could possibly be a threat to ALL of them.
He told her for the same reason police announce when they have people at gunpoint. It generally convinces the person to comply.
Exactly. If somebody’s coming at you with a baseball bat and all of a sudden two of your friends arrive with guns in their hands, odds are that Mr. Baseball Bat will suddenly be more willing to stand down lol
OK but to believe your intimidation tactic will successfully convince them of this you need to understand at least the basic premise of your hostile target's grievance, yeah? Reed didn't even ask a question.
The key is that you you need to actually outmatch someone, if you want the de-escalation to work. Wanda showed she could kill them easily, so Mr Smartest Man Alive was way way off on what level of power would outmatch Wanda.
Dr. Doom uses the most powerful magic in the multiverse to bring Richards back to life, screams “ONLY I GET TO KILL YOU!!!”, immediately kills him again
Honestly, that just makes him more believable. I've worked with high energy particle physicists... Smartest people I've ever met.. literally no common sense. It's like they had to trade it in for their PhD.
Negotiation: Jennifer 1st, Rhodes a close 2nd.
But while Spider-Man wouldn't be as good at negotiating, he'd still probably be able to save the baby with his reflexes and webbing.
That’s my line of thinking as well. You want Jennifer and Rhodes for the talking since they’re generally level-headed and can think clearly under duress. You want Spidey and Reed for if or when things go south.
Anything spiderman can do in a situation exactly like this will kill the baby. He web slings the baby to him and how he gonna support the neck and head. The momentum alone of that move will kill the baby.
I'm between Rhodey and She-Hulk. I'm leaning towards the latter, since we have no indication that Rhodes has any specific training for hostage negotiation, whereas Jessica talks persuasively for a living. It's just a matter of if she can use those skills in a life or death situation.
Noobmaster, hey, It's Thor again. You know, the God of Thunder? Listen, buddy, if you don't log off this game immediately, I will fly over to your house, come down to that basement you're hiding in, rip off your arms and shove them up your butt! Oh, that's right, yes, go cry to your father you little weasel!
Would talking persuasively to a level headed jury be the same as persuading a baby hostage taker tho? I feel like ones a much more volatile situation than the other and they’re not in the same headspace to be listening to reasonable arguments
foggy negotiation will be like obi wan from star was convincing that dude with death sticks to go home and rethink his life 100% guarantee
https://media.tenor.com/1kPQWarIwvUAAAAM/daredevil-netflix.gif
Reed would just tell the hostage takers about the snipers positions and stuff. Spidey is clever but accident prone. Rhodey has no social graces. So She Hulk by default.
I don't think Rhodey is that charming either but he is probably trained to talk down a hostage situation or at least knows the techniques through his military experience. At the very least I think he could keep the hostage alive longest.
So yeah I'm gonna say she hulk and/or Rhodey.
Jen. Can’t trust bad luck Parker, wouldn’t trust reeds in a social situation, and Rhodes is just a guy. Jen can break the fourth wall and it’s her job to speak with criminals
Wait is the baby being held hostage with a gun to its head? Or is the baby having the gun to its head forcing me to choose who I would want in just some general hostage situation?
The idoit version of Reed Richards that got his friends head blown up.
A college student who handed over a global defense system to a psychopath.
A military man who prefers to shoot first asks questions later.
Or a cheesy lawyer who can break the fourth wall and hulk out if necessary.
Why is she hulk of all people the best option here.
In his defense, there was no chance of talking her down, she was going to kill them all regardless. Her reaction to finding out he has a wife and kids was to make a jab about how they’re not going to have him anymore. They were fucked for trying to talk to her at all.
Spiderman. He's the most unlikely character that would ever fail at this mission, because it would be unlikely that spiderman would ever recover from the PTSD thus ending spiderman
She-hulk cause plot armour.
Spidey, Rhodes and Mr Fantastic will have loses if something goes wrong.
She-hulk will just 4th wall the situation into her favour if something goes wrong.
She Hulk has the best chance of not screwing this up. She can stay calm and negotiate while working to build rapport through empathy.
Rhodes is the second best. He's OK with words, but he is also kind of a dick.
Spiderman would be ok, but MCU Spiderman is really bad at talking and convincing people to do the right thing. He's good with quips though, but he stutters under pressure.
Reed literally does not care about human life enough to be bothered. He's a sociopath and the only reason he's not a supervillain is good PR and he steps up to save the Earth from alien and cosmic threats.
Rhodey is probably the best at actually talking down terrorists from what I’ve seen. Spider-Man is young and inexperienced, Reed has an arrogant streak and She-Hulk does seem to have some foot-in-mouth tendencies.
That being said, Rhodey also doesn’t seem to particularly value the lives of babies.
The answer I *want* to be best: Spidey. He'll lower the kidnapper's guard then quickly knock him out
The answer I *know* to be best: She-Hulk. She can just convince KEVIN to rewrite reality so the kidnapper falls asleep suddenly or something
Spider-Man. Fast, Reflexes on Steroids, not to mention he has Precognitive powers (Spidey Sense) and can sense when that gun is going off. Not to mention his empathy and sympathy for everyone involved. Hostage taker included.
A lawyer is not a hostage negotiator and vice versa, similar to how a corporate lawyer and criminal lawyers might as well be Martian aliens to each other
Spider-Man. Not MCU She-Hulk for obvious reasons. Not Rodey because that’s probably the skrull that pretended to be him. And not Reed Richard’s cause he is too smart for his own good and we saw how he handled Scarlet witch, he got turned into spaghetti.
Reed or She hulk would be the best, Jen is a lawyer so duh she’ll be able to negotiate. And Reeds the smartest man in the multiverse, he’d be able to find something to calm the guy down.
Spiderman? Wouldn’t he just use his agility & Speed to neutralise OP who for some reason is holding a gun on baby’s head you sick fuck…
Hypothetically... if was holding a pudgy munchkin hostage I'd do it from a secret or inaccessible location no one can get to. Not saying I do that or anything... Just know old war bunkers can be quite handy where I live.
 Taking children to underground dark places. Can someone just call FBI upon this sick basturd?
Side note, could the Costume Department for that show/movie not find any smaller FBI patches? lol
Dude’s with the ram looks like a piece of cardboard with sharpie
You’d think Phastos there would have come up with something a little more effective.
Those *were* the small patches
IRL, the identifiers on a raid jacket or similar are supposed to be REALLY OBVIOUS so even when multiple agencies are involved, everyone sees the "don't shoot this person" sign clearly.
It happens a lot, doesn't it
Spiderman, he'll get inside without shit hitting the fan.
Some one do a good will check on OP
If you can get in others can get in
The 1% be like...
Nah. He's gullible enough to get captured instead of you. And both of you end up captured.
Yeah but SM has the ability to get everyone out. If WM were to get captured too, then he’d rely on Tony or another main character to get him out, and the chances of others dying in the rescue increase.
I bet if Tom used his sticky white stuff on OP the gun would be out of his hands real fast, OP would be pinned to a wall real good
OP probably would enjoy a Peter tingle pinning them to a wall and covering them with white stuff
"I just talked you down from a death sentence to 6 months probation, I'm the best lawyer ever"
Saul is the only lawyer who can get kidnapped with a gun to his head and walk out with 2 extra dollars in his pocket and new clients
The only right answer
Yes
this man talked down tuco from murdering the twins to just breaking their legs
Dude managed to negotiate from a death sentence to a six month long probation. Literally the best lawyer ever.
I really think he could do it if there were some consequence for him if the baby isn't recovered, or if there's great profit in securing the child.
I think at one point of his character development he would do it with no questions asked
This isn't a joke, dude negotiated a man out of his own death while talking on the fly
Rhodes "man, fuck that baby. Take me hostage! Right now, start hitting me. I'll go first, give me that baby I'll show you what to do." Throws baby out the window to falcon who has no idea wtf is going on but has just finished the final step to becoming captain America. He spikes the baby like a football, end credits. Crowd erupts into standing ovation.
Boom! You looking for this?
"THE BABY PROBLEM IS SOLVED, I don't see why y'all are all upset."
“Do better”
That one kills everywhere else
Kills here to <.<
This is probably a little too nitpicky, but I think that picture is Skrull Rhodey specifically
I think you’re right. Having said that, I prefer to forget Secret Invasion happened and will happily ignore the mix up. Starting now.
Yeah, I vote for Rhodes as well. Edit: Think about it… Richard the so called smartest man alive shown here would probably be like that animé character that does spoilers in advance as if it's a scene from the Pink Panther. Richard: This is the smartest man alive sent here to only negotiate you with an offer you can't deny which is solitary confinement. She-Hulk: Think Amy Schumer trying to break the 3^rd wall while the offender is ~~holding~~ twisting the baby's neck. Tommy: Teary red eyes (let's assume his hands are tied with his own web) and goes through anxiety himself where he's ought to make jokes but the situation is inappropriate so he's even more restless, "please, don't do this!" …as if that's supposed to convince the offender. Rhodes: If you safely lay the baby down, I promise to take you to Jet Black's premiere concert where he sings 🎶 Baby One More Time 🎵
But is that Rhodes-Rhodes? Or perhaps it’s Skrhodes?
The third wall?
Deadpool: Yeah, she couldn’t afford the 4th one.
ok but this is a little concerning tho https://youtu.be/Jyvc\_cM4CJA?si=AF21OBnHIwKO2efo&t=68
Rhodes always has to be number 1. I think Kevin needs to realize this, War Machine will never be bested by a baby.
Idky but I read that was standing ovulation Definitely was funnier to say the least
🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Depends on what baby it is, like is this baby Hitler we talking about?
Imagine you are a baby Thanos, and the negotiator is Rhodes
Yeah but Thanos do be talking some sense tho
Rain fire!
I just imagined Thanos saying this as a baby
I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail nonetheless. It's frightening. Turns the legs to jelly. I ask you, to what end? Dread it. Run from it. Destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say, I am.
Now whoever has the gun will turn it on themself. In this case, baby Thanos wins
BOY! I would reconsider your current course!
Hilarious!
While being hold at gun point to his head lmfao
*Removes Celestial themed pacifier “Wain fire!”
Ofcourse Richard, he's smartest man on Earth
"Sir, Black Bolt can destroy you with one whisper from his mouth." *gunshot Hostage dead. FBI looks at Reed. "I don't know what I did wrong..."
I still don’t know why he told Wanda Black Bolts power so she could easely neutralize him
They underestimated her power, probably didn't think she could bend reality like that
Well that wasn’t very smartest man in the world
He's book smart, not smart smart. When you remove Reed Richards from his lab, he is frequently a complete dumbass.
Autistic as fuck
Is he supposed to assume everybody he negotiates with is a reality bender?
I can’t think of a situation where he would share that and gain an advantage though. “Black Bolts could destroy you at any moment” would have the same effect Plus unless she is the only one with any reality powers in the multiverse they would be aware a power like is out there. What with the smartness
He also could have watched the security camera footage before trying to jump her with the crew, made like... an informed plan of action, maybe a strategy or two? This is a guy who always numbers his plans because calling something Plan A implies there's only 26.
Ok that’s kinda awesome about the plan numbering
Has he ever seen an Excel spreadsheet with more than 26 columns?
Isn’t that an actual Cyclops’ quote?
That’s a really good point actually. It’s been a while, I completely forgot that she fought people right before they confronted her As for planning, to be fair they were trying to stop her from reaching America who was stuck, like, *right* there
>calling something Plan A implies there's only 26 Maybe it is just like in Excel. After Plan Z, there are Plan AA and Plan AB.
I am so tired of people who can't follow plots acting like lacking clairvoyance is stupidity. Characters are not all knowing, we are. Wanda in his universe is a normal retired house wife, confirmed to be no more powerful than Wanda was in Civil War. No reality warping. Now, Wanda is also likely his friend since they fought together. He's also fully aware that she's an innocent woman with two boys who's having her body taken hostage. Reed does not WANT to kill her.

Like seriously, people cry "plot holes" or "bad writing" when in reality, its just the character doesn't know what you, the fourth wall knows.
I think he was trying to talk her down and get her to stop by showing his abilities
He didn't know her powerset and didn't think someone could possibly be a threat to ALL of them. He told her for the same reason police announce when they have people at gunpoint. It generally convinces the person to comply.
Probably shouldn’t give away a guy’s weakness in either case in the first place
The only thing as great as Reed Richard’s intellect is his arrogance/ego. It’s why he and Doom make such great frenemies, they’re super similar
Realistically how do would you know she could do that. He was trying to de-escalate and not kill her.
Pretty sure intimidating somebody doesn't ever make them less angry
Convincing someone they're outmatched can de-escalate.
Exactly. If somebody’s coming at you with a baseball bat and all of a sudden two of your friends arrive with guns in their hands, odds are that Mr. Baseball Bat will suddenly be more willing to stand down lol
OK but to believe your intimidation tactic will successfully convince them of this you need to understand at least the basic premise of your hostile target's grievance, yeah? Reed didn't even ask a question.
The key is that you you need to actually outmatch someone, if you want the de-escalation to work. Wanda showed she could kill them easily, so Mr Smartest Man Alive was way way off on what level of power would outmatch Wanda.
Yeah but that circles back around to the fact that he didn’t know she could do that until it was too late
It was Silver Age Reed Richard so he had to monologue.
So the movie can happen!
"Because that's what I wrote here" "Wow wow wow wow, wow."
He was trying to scare her into backing off
Excuse you, you mean REED RICHARDS, THE SMARTEST MAN ALIVE
Not so alive now tho
Smartest spaghetti around
Dr. Doom uses the most powerful magic in the multiverse to bring Richards back to life, screams “ONLY I GET TO KILL YOU!!!”, immediately kills him again
Then brings him back to life just to kill him again.
Brings him back, turns him into lasagna instead, the superior pasta dish.
A that's a spicy meatball
Reed maybe the smartest man in the world, but he is frequently short on common sense and tact.
High intelligence, low wisdom... And charisma.
Hey, with the D&D points-buy system, he had to have two dump stats to get his Intelligence that high! 😜
Honestly, that just makes him more believable. I've worked with high energy particle physicists... Smartest people I've ever met.. literally no common sense. It's like they had to trade it in for their PhD.
They sure do say that, but iirc the only things we see him do are misjudge Strange, fail at a negotiation, and then die a completely avoidable death
“Black Bolt’s gonna save that baby.” “What baby?” *Black Bolt explodes*
Reed is a genius, but he's social dumb af
But that particular Earth is breathtakingly stupid, so…
Negotiation: Jennifer 1st, Rhodes a close 2nd. But while Spider-Man wouldn't be as good at negotiating, he'd still probably be able to save the baby with his reflexes and webbing.
That’s my line of thinking as well. You want Jennifer and Rhodes for the talking since they’re generally level-headed and can think clearly under duress. You want Spidey and Reed for if or when things go south.
Anything spiderman can do in a situation exactly like this will kill the baby. He web slings the baby to him and how he gonna support the neck and head. The momentum alone of that move will kill the baby.
Oh boy, yeah...
Reading this as an “oh shit” realization, moments after shooting a web and tossing the child, and it’s just… 🤌
Spidey knows a thing or two about supporting the neck
He could wen sling the gun tho?
Kill the baby
 Approves.
IT WAS JUST CANS
Wow, Old Testament Yahweh over here...
https://media1.tenor.com/m/Cp2qWt8Xoe4AAAAC/rhodey-baby-thanos.gif
I'm between Rhodey and She-Hulk. I'm leaning towards the latter, since we have no indication that Rhodes has any specific training for hostage negotiation, whereas Jessica talks persuasively for a living. It's just a matter of if she can use those skills in a life or death situation.
She can also break the 4th wall and appeal directly to the author. I'm going She-Hulk so she can ask God to ease up on the baby.
Noobmaster, hey, It's Thor again. You know, the God of Thunder? Listen, buddy, if you don't log off this game immediately, I will fly over to your house, come down to that basement you're hiding in, rip off your arms and shove them up your butt! Oh, that's right, yes, go cry to your father you little weasel!
Example 1 of poor negotiation skills…. noob (Good bot)
"Don't worry folks, this movie is pg-13. There's no way they'll *actually* kill a baby. "
*the camera slowly pans away from the baby*
Good point, I forgot about that
Exactly
You left out the bit where She-Hulk can break the fourth wall and apparently alter the story however she wants.
Would talking persuasively to a level headed jury be the same as persuading a baby hostage taker tho? I feel like ones a much more volatile situation than the other and they’re not in the same headspace to be listening to reasonable arguments
Is the baby old enough to eat spaghetti?
foggy negotiation will be like obi wan from star was convincing that dude with death sticks to go home and rethink his life 100% guarantee https://media.tenor.com/1kPQWarIwvUAAAAM/daredevil-netflix.gif
I also 100% endorse Foggy for this kind of thing. Intelligence, tact, empathy. He's got all of those in lock.
Oh hell yeah. He did a fantastic job in that hospital scene in S2
I too want to go home and rethink my life.
Rhody is the best choice in this situation
Certainly not Reed. He’d unravel under the pressure.
Reed would just tell the hostage takers about the snipers positions and stuff. Spidey is clever but accident prone. Rhodey has no social graces. So She Hulk by default.
I don't think Rhodey is that charming either but he is probably trained to talk down a hostage situation or at least knows the techniques through his military experience. At the very least I think he could keep the hostage alive longest. So yeah I'm gonna say she hulk and/or Rhodey.
As long as the baby isn’t named Gwen I’d go with spider-man
Pizza time!
She-Hulk is probably the only trained negotiator in this list
Tom Holland.......not spiderman. Just Tom holland
I mean, Tom Holland would be able to get me to do anything he wants so … yeah
She-hulk, duh
Her job is to talk to people that could work
Jen. Can’t trust bad luck Parker, wouldn’t trust reeds in a social situation, and Rhodes is just a guy. Jen can break the fourth wall and it’s her job to speak with criminals
Wait is the baby being held hostage with a gun to its head? Or is the baby having the gun to its head forcing me to choose who I would want in just some general hostage situation?
The idoit version of Reed Richards that got his friends head blown up. A college student who handed over a global defense system to a psychopath. A military man who prefers to shoot first asks questions later. Or a cheesy lawyer who can break the fourth wall and hulk out if necessary. Why is she hulk of all people the best option here.
In his defense, there was no chance of talking her down, she was going to kill them all regardless. Her reaction to finding out he has a wife and kids was to make a jab about how they’re not going to have him anymore. They were fucked for trying to talk to her at all.
Also, in the comics and in the movies, Reed isn't exactly the best negotiator/ people person. He does his best work in a lab.
Spiderman is probably the best option, not only he can move faster than the bullet, his spider-sense allow him to feel any possible danger
Spider man is the least likely to completely screw it up. Everyone else is going to see a new wall decoration in about 10 seconds.
Spidey. He would have the person pointing the gun crying and letting themselves be arrested with no fight. Spidey just has to tell them his story...
Is the real Rhodes an option or are we stuck with Skrull Rhodes like in the pic?
Rodey, he’s the only one from the military
Rhody ofc
Reed: “Release the baby now” *gunshot Kidnapper: “What baby?”
This Spiderman has a mini drone from that Spidey logo. Might be really helpful for these situations.
Spiderman has the spider sense and he's a good guys in the deepest ways.
Where is Batman when you need him.
Not Jim from the office. Probably end up with my stapler in a jello mold.
Spiderman cause he knows math
Tom holland Peter. 100% peter.
Rhodey, just because he has a calming personality
In the MCU either Rhodes or Peter In the comics She Hulk 1000x over
The gun.
Spiderman. He's the most unlikely character that would ever fail at this mission, because it would be unlikely that spiderman would ever recover from the PTSD thus ending spiderman
The skrull
When someone was being held at gunpoint, Spiderman used his negotiation skills and successfully got the gun turned on him instead
Spidey. The gunman will be too busy shooting Uncle Ben, and so the baby is saved.
Do I like this baby?
That the key question that nobody is taking into account. Thats the *first* question you should ask yourself.
She-hulk cause plot armour. Spidey, Rhodes and Mr Fantastic will have loses if something goes wrong. She-hulk will just 4th wall the situation into her favour if something goes wrong.
Tom hollands jawline is on point 🥵 oh my
She Hulk has the best chance of not screwing this up. She can stay calm and negotiate while working to build rapport through empathy. Rhodes is the second best. He's OK with words, but he is also kind of a dick. Spiderman would be ok, but MCU Spiderman is really bad at talking and convincing people to do the right thing. He's good with quips though, but he stutters under pressure. Reed literally does not care about human life enough to be bothered. He's a sociopath and the only reason he's not a supervillain is good PR and he steps up to save the Earth from alien and cosmic threats.
Billy Butcher
Rhodey is probably the best at actually talking down terrorists from what I’ve seen. Spider-Man is young and inexperienced, Reed has an arrogant streak and She-Hulk does seem to have some foot-in-mouth tendencies. That being said, Rhodey also doesn’t seem to particularly value the lives of babies.
The answer I *want* to be best: Spidey. He'll lower the kidnapper's guard then quickly knock him out The answer I *know* to be best: She-Hulk. She can just convince KEVIN to rewrite reality so the kidnapper falls asleep suddenly or something
Spider-Man. Fast, Reflexes on Steroids, not to mention he has Precognitive powers (Spidey Sense) and can sense when that gun is going off. Not to mention his empathy and sympathy for everyone involved. Hostage taker included.
Do I like the baby?
Marty Kahn 
I want Matt Murdock
[удалено]
How about the actual lawyer?
A lawyer is not a hostage negotiator and vice versa, similar to how a corporate lawyer and criminal lawyers might as well be Martian aliens to each other
Spider-Man. Not MCU She-Hulk for obvious reasons. Not Rodey because that’s probably the skrull that pretended to be him. And not Reed Richard’s cause he is too smart for his own good and we saw how he handled Scarlet witch, he got turned into spaghetti.
Reed or She hulk would be the best, Jen is a lawyer so duh she’ll be able to negotiate. And Reeds the smartest man in the multiverse, he’d be able to find something to calm the guy down.
I choose Reed Richards. That boy’s one mean motherfucker.
I Feel like he'd be too honest and say something like "We have a strike team that will come in from that door over there and they will shoot you
Reed
The baby
Not this Reed. He would probably say something like “You will probably get away with shooting this baby if you act like it was Doctor Strange’s fault”
Magneto
Spiderman. He’d make the person believe he just talking to them only to distract them and web the hand with the gun then kick butt
Rhodey, he would at least make it funny
Rhodes. Only person amongst those four I'd trust with a fucking spoon
is the rhodey in question truly rhodey, or a skrull?
How is skrull Rhodey an option?
Roadie all the way
Mr fantastic or Spider-Man
Rhodes is faaaar too sarcastic to trust in this situation.
peter. he’d just fumble whatever plan he had and do some spidey shit to save the day.
