9. M’Baku provides refuge to T’Challa, despite being defeated in their duel

He battled with T’Challa against Killmonger and helped Black Panther to get back his position as the king of Wakanda.
10. Yinsen saves Tony Stark’s life so that he can continue to save billions of others
MCU’s beginning can be credited to Ho Yinsen. Yinsen was a doctor who was captured by the same terrorist organization that imprisoned Tony Stark in 2008’s Iron Man. Yinsen was asked to tend to Stark’s injuries. They were then ordered to build weapons for a terrorist group but they started to develop a suit of armor they can use to escape. Stark needed some time to power up the suit. So, Yinsen sacrificed himself by trying to fight the terrorists alone. He is the reason that gave birth to Iron Man and saved billions of innocent lives in the future.
