Here's what Rescue looks like in the comics and in "Avengers: Endgame."Marvel Unlimited/Disney
Pepper's still around in the MCU, with a name-drop in "Spider-Man: Far from Home," so she could make another appearance as either herself or Rescue in the future, if Paltrow wants.
Rescue made her comics debut in "The Invincible Iron Man No. 10" in May 2009.

Here's what War Machine looks like on the page and on-screen.Marvel Unlimited/Paramount
Howard never got to play War Machine — during the first "Iron Man," he longingly looks at a suit and says "Next time," which was more a nod to his comics canon at the time than a promise of a sequel. By the time "Iron Man 2" rolled around, he had been recast.
War Machine first appeared in "Iron Man No. 281" in June 1992.

But, as many Marvel fans knew, he wasn't actually dead. Instead, he became a mind-controlled assassin known as the Winter Soldier. Over the course of the MCU, he eventually gets his mind back - here's what he looks like now.Marvel Unlimited/Disney
Basically, he cut off his Winter Soldier hair and got a new robotic arm.
In the comics, Bucky has a stint as the new Captain America once he breaks free of the mind control, so we'll see if he gets to wield the shield one day — though that's looking less likely.
Bucky made his comics debut as Captain America in "Captain America No. 34" in January 2008.

For a brief scene in "Avengers: Endgame," we see Clint take on the mantle of Ronin, a time period we expect to see more of in "Hawkeye."Marvel Unlimited/Disney
We didn't get a great look at the full Ronin suit in "Endgame," but from what we can tell, it looks like it has similar gold accents to the comics costume.
Clint's version of Ronin made his comics debut in "New Avengers No. 27" in April 2007.
