Have you ever thought about your fellow co-workers as Marvel’s Avengers? Nope, we’re not talking about dressing up your boss as The Hulk and asking them to smash things up and talk like the green monster. We’re talking about their characters, personalities and key traits, that could be very similar to your office buddies.
Thor: The Ever-So Flamboyant Individual
You know him, you see him around, and to be honest, you kinda like him. He’s chic, witty and has this weird presence that forces you to focus on everything he says. Unfortunately, he sometimes makes these old-fashioned dad jokes that make you want to cut your ears off, and let’s not talk about him when the douchebaggery takes full control of him. Just be careful, because when he’s angry, you don’t want to be around his thunderbolts.
Iron Man: The Arrogant Boss, Who Isn’t Necessarily Your Boss
He is really something else. You’re not really sure if you hate him, but you’re definitely not a big fan of his attitude. He does have that charismatic leader personality, and sometimes he comes up with the most practical plans. But the thing is, he is very bossy, and he’s not even your boss. Just hang in there and try not to start a fight with him.
The Hulk: No Further Explanation Needed
He’s quite polite when he’s calm; actually, he’s one of the nicest guys around. Gets a bit nervous when you joke too much and can’t really handle the pressure, until you piss him off. All hell break loose after that! Imagine a red alert light bulb that is buzzing in your head screaming “RUUUUUN!” Yup, that’s the only way to think in a moment like this, because there’s nothing else to do. Try to calm him down, you’re dead. Try to speak with him about the beauty of calmness and serenity, you’re dead. Try to turn to your boss for security, also dead because you’ll be gone before reaching them.
Captain America: The Logical Guy
You’ll find him on his desk, because you barely ever see him elsewhere. He works his hands off, and in meetings, he comes up with the most thorough and comprehensive plans ever! But for some reason, you just don’t click. He’s just too nice for crying out loud. He never joins post-work outings. He’s not up to date with the latest movies or songs. He just likes to lay back at home, reading the newspapers and a classic novel, with a daily cup of tea at 8:30 pm.
Doctor Strange: Mr. Know It All
He’s another version of your office’s Iron Man, because he is definitely smarter, and arrogant for a reason: he does know it all. He takes pro-active steps to avoid crises, he always knows the perfect timing to schedule a meeting, and if you ever go ask him for a favor, or to help you out in a task; he’ll do it faster than you can say “The Road to Ragnarok was rogue and robust”, but you will probably hate your life for it.
Spiderman: The Talkative Fresh Grad That You Find Really, Really Funny
He is definitely younger than most of the other co-workers/Avengers, but you don’t mind hanging out with him. He talks more than most, but not the kind of boring talks about his Sahel vacation, or how much he loves guacamole; the sort of light office talk that gives you that occasional break you need every now and then. But sometimes, you just feel like you’ve had enough, and you want to send him back to his friendly neighborhood.
