Where do y’all think the Marvel Television characters were during the events of Infinity War? I know we will never get a definitive answer to this, but it’s fun to think about. Here’s my thoughts:
Daredevil: Most likely in New York City. Hell’s Kitchen is not too far from Bleecker Street, so he most likely saw the ship that Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian arrived in. It seems weird that Matt would not immediately investigate this anomaly and head towards the Sanctum Sanctorum, but perhaps he was more focused on getting others to safety and out of harms way.
Jessica Jones: Also would be in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. She probably met up with Matt shortly after the invasion of Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian. It could be assumed that she and Matt would have eventually traveled over to the Sanctum Sanctorum after the battle was over and met up with Wong, who informed them what happened and that the Tony and Strange are handling the situation. Hopefully this would give the two enough time for if Thanos did succeed and they were able to prepare some for the coming chaos. After Thanos snaps, these two would probably be working hard to keep the peace in New York, assuming they survived the snap.
Luke Cage: Would be in Harlem during the invasion of Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian. Since he is still a crime lord at this point, it’s easy to see why he would not intervene and put himself in the spotlight in anyway. So, I would assume he used his resources and connections to try and keep Harlem calm during the chaos of Infinity War. If he did not survive the snap, someone else would have taken over his organization, such as Sugar. We don’t have confirmation of Luke’s fate, but actor Mike Colter said that Luke Cage did not survive the snap (which cannot be taken as absolute canon, but it was just how he decided to respond). So, if Luke was snapped for certain, he would not be around to help the other Defenders keep New York peaceful and would have lost control of his organization. When Luke Cage gets blipped back in Endgame, he would face an interesting dilemma on what he is to do now that he is no longer a crime lord.
Iron Fist: As far as we know, Danny and Ward are still in Asia looking for a past Iron Fist when the events of Infinity War occur. Danny may have witnessed the invasion on the news and called Colleen to see if she was okay. Much like Matt and Jessica, Colleen would probably just be trying to stop all chaos from breaking lose in southern Manhattan. Danny and Ward most likely just remained in their current location until Thanos’ snap, which they may or may not have survived.
The Punisher: Frank was still combating John Pilgrim and Billy Russo when the events of Infinity War were happening. So, he was occupied elsewhere in New York City. He may have heard about the battle on Bleecker Street, but most likely assumed that the Avengers and the Defenders could take care of it. Not his problem. We have confirmation that Frank survived the snap, as there are scenes in the Punisher Season 2 that occur after the snap. It would be interesting to see how Frank behaved after the snap, but we can assume he most likely had a similar path as Clint Barton and just went around murdering criminals (as we can see in the final scene of the second season).
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents: The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. during the events of Infinity War are very clear. Daisy Johnson and the rest of the team were battling against Glenn Talbot in Chicago and trying to save planet Earth from total destruction. So, their actions are well documented. In addition, we also know for sure that they survived the snap, as Season 6 is a year after the snap and they are all still alive and well. However, perhaps some past members of the team did not survive (such as Hunter, Bobbi, or Robbie) since we did not see them in Season 6.
Inhumans: The Inhuman society migrated to Hawaii after the events of Inhumans Season 1. It can be assume that this is still their current location and would be here during he events or Infinity War. One Inhuman, Bronaja, has the ability to see the future, so there is a strong likelihood that the Inhumans knew of Thanos’ plan and that it was to succeed. Why the Inhumans did nothing is unknown, but one reason could be that they were less focused on stopping Thanos and more focused on making sure they were prepared for when Thanos did in fact snap. They may have put Attilan on lockdown and planned for what they should do if king Black Bolt were to be snapped. Though, again, it is still odd that they would not help the Avengers in Wakanda at all if they knew about Thanos. This highlights how selfish the Royal Family of Attilan truly is.
Runaways: The Runaways were trapped in the Dark Dimension when Infinity War occurred and were not even on Earth for six months. When they finally returned, the snap had happened three months prior. So, it’s not like they could have done anything. As for their parents, (the ones that were still on Earth), they all survived the snap and are seen in Season 3 after the snap. One could conclude that by being in the Dark Dimension, the Runaways were saved from the snap, as every single one of them survived.
Cloak and Dagger: We know for certain that they both survived the snap, as we see them in Runaways Season 3 after the snap occurs. During the events of Infinity War, they were probably still traveling the United States looking to help out wherever they could. When they heard about Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian’s attack in New York, they may have teleported there and checked it out for themselves. This means that perhaps Tyrone and Tandy met Matt, Jessica, Colleen, and Wong and they all discussed what was going on, as it would make sense for them to all be in New York. Tyrone and Tandy would have probably prepared for the worst and most likely traveled into the Dark Dimension during the Battle of Wakanda so that they would be safe from the snap of the Avengers lost. This could explain how they both manage to survive.
Helstrom: Daimon and Ana aren’t really superheroes, so it makes sense why they were not really involved. Sure, they may have seen what happened in New York on the news, but it’s not like they could have really done anything about it. They just aren’t on that power level. They both live on the West Coast of the United States, so they couldn’t have met up with Wong for more information like how Matt, Jessica, Colleen, Tyrone, and Tandy did. They most likely just continued on with their day and hoped that whatever was happening wasn’t too serious.
Agent Peggy Carter and friends: They’re all dead lol
