His self-sacrifice in Thor (2011), hands down.

"Brother, whatever I have done to wrong you, whatever I have done to lead you to do this, I am truly sorry. But these people are innocent. Taking their lives will gain you nothing. So take mine and end this."

It was the culmination of Thor learning true humility; changing to be more authentic to himself, and in turn: becoming worthy of his father's throne. Thor has always been a selfless individual concerned with the well-being of his people. (It's telling that in the vault, what sets him off is the sight of his slaughtered guardsmen more than anything else.) By the time he faces his brother through the Destroyer, Thor has been broken down to his core and is ready to accept the consequences of his past actions ... even when he has no idea what he's actually paying for. The 'what' didn't matter to Thor though. Not more than rectifying his past mistakes, and keeping the people of Earth safe. Especially when it came to safeguarding the lives of his closest friends, and the lives of the earthen people who treated him kindly throughout his banishment.

Thor would not consider this brave. He would consider it a "necessity", so to speak. Simply put: the right thing to do. It wasn't something that Thor was trying to do for fame or fortune or even to be spoken about across a banquet table. It wasn't a moment of glory. It was very simply ending the fight so no more people would get harmed because of him.

He laid down his life for them, and he would do it again in a heartbeat.
