This feels like a curbstomp thread. Because Metro Man is way, WAY too fast for the MCU to even perceive him if he goes all out.
And unfortunately, copper doesn't do anything to Metro Man. That was a lie so he could fake his own death and figure out what he wanted to do with his life, not what the world expected of him.
Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence.

Pretty sure MCU has some speedsters, right?
Plus they have the infinity gems and Captain Marvel is pretty powerful on top of that
The MCU has speedsters, yes. But Metro Man is at a level that he was able to leave Mega Mind's 'death trap', go over to Mega Mind's lair, look at him, then go and sit in a park having an existential crisis, go to the library to pick up self-help books, go to a dinner and READ those books, come to a realization, and return to Mega Mind's 'death trap' with none of the many, MANY people noticing he had even moved, much less did all of that. That's X-Men Quicksilver on PCP levels of speed.
And Captain Marvel is pretty powerful, but that means nothing when her opponent is fast enough to leave her as a statue while raining down low-level Class 100 punches on her.

Megamind disguised as Metroman casually cut a skyscraper in half. He has that kind of crazy gadgets in his belt and Metroman still never had to consider him any real threat.
I don't disagree with the above assessment, but I'd quibble on this.
Based on everything we saw Titan do with the same powers, Metro Man doesn't have the strength feats to be anywhere near the Class 100 bracket. He's like Class 80 tops based on things that he did.
This doesn't change the outcome, he is wildly too fast for the MCU.
I thought the stereotype was PCP made you violent/ignore pain. I thought crack was the one that made you think you were going super-fast (or speed, I guess... An appropriate name for the effect).
The MunchKING is Back! And he is AWSOME!
Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Fair point to the strength, but it's still strong enough to **** up every character in the MCU.
Especially, as I said, when he's fast enough to do everything in this clip so fast NOONE watching even realized he'd left and did everything I said above (relevant scenes start at 1:24):
And I didn't mention it before, but Metro Man is fast enough to take the stones from whoever has them. Hell, he's fast enough to take the stones, leave, hide them, get lunch, and come back. If I'm not wrong, he's low-level Flash fast.
