Tony Stark-Peter Parker, and other mentor-student relationships in the MCU

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has always followed a tradition of a heroic journey for every Avenger ever. However, alongside the Superhumans, they also have a legacy of a mentor-student relationship. These mentor-student relationships in the MCU are one of the iconic connections of all time. Check out the best five leaner and teacher duos from the Marvel series. 

Tony Stark and Peter Parker 

The Iron Man and Spiderman relationship were one of the most enjoyed mentor-student relationships of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There have always been father-son overtones in Tony Stark and Peter Parker’s relationship. Tony recruited Peter to his Avenger army in Captain America: Civil War. In Avengers: Endgame, Peter had to let his mentor go, which was the saddest moment from the Marvel series.

T’Challa and Zuri

T' Challa loses his father during the bombing attack and misses the mentor figure in his life. However, T’Challa looked to Zuri for guidance in the living world. Black Panther director Ryan Coogler described Zuri’s role as similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi’s role in the original Star Wars trilogy. Zuri also became a sort of surrogate father figure to T’Challa in the same way like Obi-Wan was for Luke Skywalker.
