Above Average is the main antagonist of the RDCWorld Skit How The Avengers Gonna Be With Any Threat. He's a man whose power is simply that he's above average at literally everything. During an attempted robbery, he was confronted by a few of the new Avengers, but because of their lack of numbers, he was able to easily overpower them and make way with some of their equipment, deeming it more valuable than the money he was attempted to steal.
He is portrayed by Mark Phillips of RDCWorld1.

How The Avengers Gonna Be With Any Threat[]
The skit starts with Above Average holding a man at gunpoint in his home, demanding the man give up the location of the money he's after. However, the man proclaims he doesn't have any money. Above Average then informs the man of his power and says that because of his above average intelligence, he knows the man is lying. A few moments later, three of the new Avengers arrive to stop him: Shuri's Black Panther, Sam Wilson's Captain America, and Ant-Man. While at first Above Average is taken back and scared of the Avengers' presence, he then notices there's only 3 of them. He looks around, confused, and asks them where the others are and if someone's perhaps hiding in the bathroom. Captain America says it's just them. Above Average laughs and continues trying to extort the man of his money. Captain America demands he stop, and Above Average turns his gun to face him. Captain America scoffs at the idea and explains that his shield is made of vibranium.
However, Above Average aims the gun toward Captain America's leg and shoots him. This causes him to fall onto the couch in pain, having been injured due to not taking the Super Soldier Serum like the previous Captain America, Steve Rogers, did. Ant-Man and Black Panther then square up, ready to fight Above Average. The screen cuts to black, and when it cuts back moments later, Ant-Man is unconscious (possibly dead) on the ground, and Black Panther has been beaten into submission. Above Average exclaims how easy it was to beat them and once again holds the victim at gunpoint. When the victim yells out for the Avengers' help, Captain America tells him to just comply with Above Average's demands. Above Average makes fun of the new Avengers' weakness and inability to stop them, then gets an idea. He decides the money is no longer worth it and instead steals both Captain America's shield and Ant-Man's helmet before forcing Black Panther to do the Wakanda Forever salute. He then departs through the front door before telling them to bring more people, like the Winter Solider, next time they encounter him and that he'll be back for the money at a later date.
