Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) doesn’t let the fact that she’s a woman stop her from vying for the throne in Game of Thrones. She manipulates the men around her and when they no longer serve useful or pose a threat, she has no problem disposing of them. She has a special love for her family, except for her younger brother Tyrion Lannister, who she is constantly plotting against.

In Game of Thrones, Arya (Maisie Williams) is the youngest daughter of House Stark. She’s the exact opposite of her older sister Sansa: carefree, resourceful, and a bit of a tomboy. A student of Syrio, she certainly knows how to use Needle.

In the Avengers, Clint Barton is Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), a master archer and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Unlike teammates Captain America and The Hulk, he has absolutely no superpowers. But on the bright side, he’s been in a relationship with Black Widow.

In Game of Thrones, the Faith Militant is the military order of the Faith of the Seven, made up of a zealous movement of followers called the Sparrows.

In Game of Thrones, the Night King is the master and the first of the White Walkers, having existed since the age of the First Men. He appears in Bran Stark’s visions and faces off against Jon Snow, who cryptically warns the rest of Westeros that “Winter is coming”.
