The Marvel movies have turned the post-credits scene into an art. The scenes are so well established that they've expanded them into mid-credits scenes, often offering two bonuses on every movie.

With Captain America: The Winter Soldier in theaters this weekend, here's a look back at every Marvel mid-and-post-credits scene, and what they meant. By the way, stay all the way through the Winter Soldier credits to catch both scenes in that one.

The history of Marvel's bonus scenes >

1. 'Iron Man' (2008): The Nick Fury Reveal

As Marvel's introduction to the world of the Avengers, Iron Man was a huge success. The DNA of Marvel's mega-franchise strategy was all in that one movie, complete with a post-credits reveal that teased bigger things to come.

As Tony Stark walks through his dimmed home, his AI, Jarvis, shuts down and Tony sees the trench-coated silhouette of Nick Fury, who asks, "You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become a part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet."



2. 'The Incredible Hulk' (2008): The Misstep

This one was a hiccup in the Marvel film universe. After the Hulk and Abomination duke it out in The Incredible Hulk, Tony Stark shows up to a bar where General 'Thunderbolt' Ross (Hulk's historic nemesis) is drinking. He gloats over the General's ineptitude before telling him, "We're putting a team together."

That seed did not bear any fruit in later films, and Marvel's Kevin Feige, the mastermind behind the Avengers mega-franchise, admits it was a misstep. "I will say that the Tony Stark cameo in The Incredible Hulk required us to [laugh] get ourselves out of a corner." They got out of that corner through a convoluted plot that's quickly explained in The Consultant, a Marvel one-shot included on the Thor DVD.



3. 'Iron Man 2' (2010): The Hammer

By 2010 Marvel had a very clear sense of where it was going with the Avengers, so the Iron Man 2post-credits scene makes a little more sense.

With Whiplash defeated we cut to Agent Coulson, who had a bigger role in the second Iron Man movie, investigating a desert crash site. Then we get our first glimpse of Mjolnir, Thor's fabled hammer, setting up Thor, which hit theaters a year later.
