The Marvel Universe has a wealth of incredibly powerful, larger-than-life characters to choose from. A few, however, stand head and shoulders above the rest. Their incredible powers are incalculable and far beyond comprehension. Here is our list of the most powerful characters in the entire Marvel comic book universe. Hint: It’s not Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, Thanos (The Mad Titan) or Black Bolt.
The Most Powerful Marvel Comics Characters
15. Vulcan
Emperor Vulcan (also known as Gabriel Summers, the brother of Scott Summers) is an omega level mutant who has the ability to manipulate all forms of energy, including magic, at will. Once the Emperor of the Shi’ar Empire, Vulcan has even fought against the X-men, Inhumans and Starjammers simultaneously. According to his creator, Ed Brubaker, Vulcan has control over seven elements (fire, earth, electricity, wind, water, darkness, and light).
14. Skaar
The son of the Hulk in an alternate reality, Skaar possesses even greater strength than his father. With a single punch, he once cracked the armour of the Juggernaut and sent him into the outer atmosphere. He has also survived falls from outer space and has a healing factor superior to Wolverine.
13. Odin
Odin, the father of Thor and the strongest of all Asgardians, is an immortal that can manipulate magic for a variety of effects. The King of Asgard also has the ability to absorb the powers of all the Asgardians into himself to greatly augment his already formidable powers.
12. Hercules
Over 3000 years old, Hercules, the son of Zeus, is considered the physically strongest character in the entire Marvel universe. He is stronger than both Thor and Hulk, and once pulled the entire island of Manhattan which weighed 99,000,000,000 tons. Aside from his great strength, Hercules is able to withstand cosmic blasts from Nova and is able to survive in space unaided.
11. Grandmaster
The Grandmaster is an eternal, ancient being that cannot die, has supernatural physical characteristics and the ability to bring the dead back to life. He is also vastly intelligent and powerful.
10. Galactus
Known as the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus eats entire planets and has unlimited cosmic power and knowledge. He also possesses technology that works with his biology and is perceived as the species of whoever is looking at him. For example, a human would see him in human form.
9. Magus
Not to be confused by his son, Adam Warlock, Magus’ power is comparable to that of Galactus. He can become virtually any substance, any size, shape and colour – enhanced shape-shifting. He is immortal and can also teleport, but his powers tend to fluctuate based on the form he takes. At his most powerful, he’s able to split a star in two.
8. Mikaboshi
Mikaboshi, the Japanese god of evil and chaos, is an abstract being greater than Odin. His incredible powers include immortality, reality manipulation, stealth, super strength, healing, endurance, shape-shifting, and more.
7. Cyttorak
Cyttorak is a powerful deity and possibly the strongest magical being in all of the Marvel universe. He is often the source of the elite magicians of the universe, including Doctor Strange. He is omnipotent within his Crimson Cosmos.
6. Phoenix Force
Phoenix Force is a powerful cosmic entity and the prime universal force of life that takes on various hosts, most frequently Jean Grey, Rachel Grey, Emma Frost and even Professor X. It single-handedly defeated Galactus. It can absorb energy, including the life-force of a being or the energy of a sun.
5. Franklin Richards
One of the rare omega-level mutants, Franklin Richards, the son of Reed Richards and Sue Storm, has the ability to warp reality and control the fundamental forces of the universe. It is said that his power equals that of the Celestials. He first appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #6 (1968) and is quite possibly the strongest mutant to ever exist. As far as powerful mutants go, he is at the top of the list.
4. Eternity
First appearing in Strange Tales #138, Eternity, the twin brother of Infinity and the sibling of Death and Oblivion, is the very embodiment of time. Greater than Galactus, he can manipulate space, time, and reality.
3. Living Tribunal
Created by Stan Lee, Marie Severin and Herb Trimpe, The Living Tribunal is so powerful that even Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet dares not to engage him in combat. His power is absolutely limitless and he is able to erase entire realities from existence. However, The Living Tribunal has died fighting Beyonder before.
2. Beyonder
A near omnipotent and vastly powerful entity, Beyonder first appeared in Secret Wars #1. He is so strong that all the Marvel abstracts, celestials, supreme cosmic beings, and The Living Tribunal are at his mercy. He is second only to One-Above-All.
1. One-Above-All
One-Above-All, who first appeared in Doctor Strange #13, is the most powerful and the most mysterious character in the Marvel multiverse. He is believed to represent the creators of Marvel and has taken the form of Jack Kirby. The One-Above-All is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent.
The Most Powerful Marvel Cinematic Universe Characters
The MCU and the Marvel comics universe are very different. While we’ve explored who the most powerful Marvel characters are, the MCU list would differ. So, let’s take a look at who the most powerful Marvel characters in the MCU are.
When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it has introduced some heavy hitters and major strikers. It might not always follow the same rules as the comics (or version of the characters), but it also features a formidable list of the most powerful Marvel characters—even without the X-Men and the Fantastic Four at present. Here are our top five picks:
5. Captain America
Power isn’t only about pure physical strength but also heart. While Steve Rogers might not have the size of Hulk or the mutant powers of some other characters, the Super Soldier serum combined with his iron will ensure that he can hold his own in any fight.
Seriously, this is the guy who faced off against Thanos twice and didn’t get destroyed. When the fight or flight response kicks in, Cap always channels the former. He doesn’t back down from anyone—no matter how big or otherworldly you are. And that makes him powerful beyond belief.
4. Thor
Look, you don’t just get called the God of Thunder for burping really loudly. While Thor’s first few films in the MCU didn’t really show just how powerful he is, his OP level was revealed in Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War.
When Thor arrived in Wakanda, you knew that the real MVP had arrived. It doesn’t matter if he wields Stormbreaker or Mjölnir, because his power comes from deep within his veins. With him on your team, you’re practically guaranteed a head start.
3. Scarlet Witch
To be fair, the MCU hasn’t really shown what Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff) is all about yet. In the comics, she’s undoubtedly one of the most powerful Marvel mutant characters around and considered OP. However, WandaVision and the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hints at what she’s truly capable of—and it’s terrifying.
Forget about the levitation and energy blasts for a second, because it’s her telepathy and magical powers that are her biggest weapons. If she can make you believe you’re in a different reality—without the use of any Infinity Stone—she’s able to disarm and dismantle just about any hero or villain around. And they wouldn’t even know it.
2. Captain Marvel
Before Brie Larson’s hate club gets wind of this article, let’s state the facts here: Captain Marvel possesses cosmic powers, energy manipulation, energy absorption, superhuman strength and she can fly. She’s basically Green Lantern, Superman, Bishop and the Phoenix all packed into one superhero, and easily one of the most powerful Marvel characters in the MCU.
Realistically, Thor is perhaps the only Avenger who can go toe-to-toe with her in combat and live to tell the tale. The rest of the squad? They might as well wave the white flag when Carol Danvers is mad, because they’ll be toast.
1. Thanos
Put it this way, it took all of Earth’s mightiest heroes (and their friends) to take down Thanos. He changed an entire timeline single-handedly, something that Fox struggled to do with its X-Men movies for almost 20 years! While some people might argue that he’s only powerful when he wields the Infinity Gauntlet, he showcased that he’s capable of holding back a whole team of Avengers on his own.
Plus, who could ever forget how he frightened Hulk and sent him cowering for safety after he handed out a brutal beating to the green bean. Face it, in a one-on-one fight, Thanos is unbeatable in the MCU.
The Most Powerful Marvel Characters Coming To The MCU
The ever-expanding world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe already has a respectable roster of some of the most emblematic characters from comic book history. However, with the MCU’s Phase Four going galactic, the door is open for some of the most powerful Marvel characters or entities to ever be put on paper to make their big-screen debuts.
In this list, we’ll take a look at fifteen of the most powerful Marvel characters that are yet to appear in the MCU.
15. Captain Universe
Unlike most of the powerful Marvel characters in this list, Captain Universe is not a single character within the Marvel comics universe. Instead, there have been multiple versions of the characters, as the identity – and its powers – are passed from host to host, kind of like Venom or DC’s Green Lantern.
Virtually invincible, whoever dons the Captain Universe suit will find themselves with amplified superhuman capabilities. Other than the usual Superman-like powers, the wielder of Captain Universes abilities also receives a power comparable only to the Infinity Gems, becoming invincible in their host dimension.
14. Hercules
Based on the mightiest of Greek heroes, Marvel’s Hercules was a staple of the Silver Age of Comic Books. Before the book’s delved into pseudoscientific storylines, legendary superhumans were a valuable source of inspiration for comic book writers. Case in point, Hercules and his constant state as an Avenger.
The hero is pretty much a comic book version of Heracles – at least until 2015 came along. Having sacrificed his powers to save the Earth, the only way the Olympian could recover his abilities was through science. Now, Hercules has become a supernatural version of the Punisher, using a combination of supernatural strength and assault weapons to help those in need.
Don’t be surprised to read the news that this powerful Marvel character has been cast in the MCU.
13. Michael Korvac
Usually just called Korvac, Michael Korvac began his life as a throwaway character for Marvel’s Defenders. However, Korvac has been gaining infamy in the Marvel comics universe thanks to his drastic means and his status as one of Marvel’s first anti-villains.
Born in an alternate reality, Korvac is considered a “Machine God” by most heroes in the comics. Ever since he was fused with a specialized supercomputer, Korvac can draw energy from almost any source, which allows him to grow to any size he desires.
12. Beta Ray Bill
“I may not be a native son of the realm eternal, but the power in my hammer comes from Odin himself. So Beta Ray Bill fights for Asgard! On this day and all the tomorrows!” — Beta Ray Bill
While at first glance it would be easy to confuse Beta Ray Bill with “Thor with a horse face,” this Bronze Age hero is so much more than a simple Thor recolour. After a brief rivalry with the Asgardian god of thunder, Bill and Thor formed a formidable alliance, both wielding their respective thundering hammers.
Besides wielding Stormbreaker, Beta Ray Bill also possesses a myriad of other powers thanks to his technologically-advanced cyborg body. Even though he hasn’t made his MCU debut, a giant bust of Beta Ray Bill can be seen as one of the Champions of Sakaar in Thor: Ragnarok.
11. Marvel Boy
Also known as the Uranian, Marvel Boy’s first appearance happened all the way back in 1950. Created by Stan Lee and Russ Heath, Marvel Boy powers are inspired by the fascinating – and terrifying – world of nuclear weaponry.
Traumatized by the loss of his family at the hands of the Nazis, Robert Grayson is transported to Uranus, where the Uranian Eternals grant him a set of Uranian clothes to turn him into Marvel Boy. Eventually becoming the strongest man to ever inhabit Uranus, Grayson returned to Earth, where he used his powers for the greater good.
10. Silver Surfer
One of the most iconic superhumans of classic Marvel comics, the legendary Silver Surfer hasn’t received the recognition he deserves in films. Originally an astronomer from the planet Zenn-La, the Silver Surfer gave up his identity to serve Galactus the Devourer and save his people.
The Surfer was given a new silver body and a space surfboard that allows him to travel faster than light. Though he was originally considered one of the bad guys, the Silver Surfer came to terms with his noble spirit and finally betrayed Galactus thanks to the Fantastic Four.
9. Gwenpool
“–Wade is still way too old for me. So to the future Marvel writer who tries to hook us up someday – because I know one of you pervs is gonna try it – Ya Nasty!” – Gwenpool
Imagine if a real-life person with vast knowledge of the Marvel universe was suddenly transported into the realm of comic books. That’s just what happened to Gwendolyn Poole, who takes on the name of Gwenpool in the comics.
Not only does Gwenpool know the secret identities and weaknesses of virtually every Marvel character, but she also has shown reality-altering powers that come from her knowledge of comic book logic. She’s essentially a supernatural entity in the Marvel comic books, having defeated some of the publication’s most feared villains by herself.
8. Fin Fang Foom
“Worm! I shall roast you like a pig in an iron kettle!” – Fin Fang Foom
The world of Marvel comics is just as magical as any classic fantasy novel, and Fin Fang Foom is the perfect example of that. A massive hulking dragon, this creature actually predates most of the heroes of the Marvel universe, as it was first printed in the pre-superhero era of comic books.
Retconned into being an alien for modern audiences, Foom is able to modify his stature and has access to a vast assortment of weapons from his home planet. Though he hasn’t appeared in the MCU yet, the presence of Shang-Chi could lead to his debut in live-action form.
7. MODOK
Don’t let MODOK’s funny appearance deceive you: this giant talking head is one of the Marvel comic book universe’s most powerful and feared villains. His name is an acronym that stands for Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing – so you know he means business.
Other than his advanced weaponry and insatiable bloodlust, MODOK is also a mastermind tactician and relentless villain, having crossed paths with many heroes in the Marvel comic books universe. Recently, an improved version of the powerful character, called MODOK Superior, has become Gwenpool’s archnemesis.
6. Beyonder
The Beyonder is more than a mere character in the Marvel Multiverse – in a sense, he is a multiverse. A cosmic entity that’s comprised of the sum total of an entire multiverse simply known as the “Beyond,” the Beyonder has been making life miserable for the Marvel universe ever since 1984’s Secret Wars event.
Beginning as a powerful yet shapeless force, Beyonder eventually became human to understand the species. He has since been partially demoted from his status as the most powerful being in existence to be just a power level under the Living Tribunal and some of the Celestials.
5. Namor the Sub-Mariner
While not immensely powerful, Namor the Sub-Mariner is one of the most important Marvel characters (or villains) that’s ever existed. In his first appearance, Namor was seen as a villain and an enemy of the entire human species.
Ever since then, Marvel Comics’ first superhuman has appeared in some of the publication’s most iconic moments. Though he has never reached the status of someone like Spider-Man, Namor remains one of the most influential characters in the Marvel universe, so his omission from the MCU is baffling, to say the least.
4. Nova
The leader of the Nova Corps, Richard Rider has appeared in his own comic books ever since 1976’s The Man Called Nova #1. A champion of the planet Xandar and the leader of a select group of elite warriors, Rider was selected as the wielder of an extensive dose of Nova Force.
As a result, Nova excels in terms of raw power over the rest of the Corps. His appearance in the MCU was heavily hinted at during the first Guardians of the Galaxy when the Corps made their debut.
3. Franklin Richards
“I was the Impossible Boy who could dream the future. I was a god.” – Franklin Richards
The son of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, Franklin Richards, aka Powerhouse is one of the strongest characters in the entire Marvel universe. Capable of bending the laws of reality to his will, Franklin’s powers are feared even by the Celestials themselves, who consider him to be on par with the godly Celestial Host.
He once created an entire pocket universe and has been baffling most of the Marvel universe ever since. His introduction to the MCU could come at a much later date, seeing as the rest of the Fantastic Four still hasn’t made its proper debut in the cinematic universe. But mark our words, Richards is one of the most powerful Marvel characters and certainly the most powerful mutant.
2. Adam Warlock
“Humanity will fight and die for control over a couple of stones. We will never be free of their burden.” – Adam Warlock
A frequent friend and foe of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Adam Warlock uses his cosmic powers for superhuman feats that transcend the realms of reality. Using the powers of the Soul Gem, Adam is virtually immortal, as Death can’t claim his soul. He also has the power to resurrect the dead and to open wormholes.
The wait might not be too long before we see Warlock in the MCU: he was teased in the after-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. It has also been disclosed that Will Poulter will play Adam Warlock (one of the most powerful Marvel characters) in the MCU.
1. Galactus
“Galactus is and ever will be.” – Silver Surfer
The Devourer of Worlds himself, one of Marvel’s most powerful characters, was created in 1966 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and made his first appearance in Fantastic Four #48. Depending on the comic, Galactus has been seen as the ultimate hero or a tragic hero. He became a close friend of Franklin Richards after battling some evil Celestials and has found in him a true friend and lifelong companion.
Galactus is the physical embodiment of the cosmos, created at the same time as the universe itself. Each species sees Galactus as something they can comprehend, hence why he usually appears as a giant man. He made his live-action debut in the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but he has yet to make it to the MCU.
Honourable Mentions:
Apocalypse
Stronger than Hulk, En Sabah Nur (one of the first mutants ever born) was conceived in ancient Egypt and has multiple abilities, including telepathy, telekinesis, and shapeshifting. Combining his gifts with the technology he discovered in Rama Tut’s tomb and a Celestial spaceship, Apocalypse (a popular X-Men villain) soon became one of the most powerful beings on Earth.
Molecule Man
Owen Reese became Molecule Man after a freak accident involving an atomically powered device. With the ability to control molecules, he is able to manipulate everything in the entire universe. Using his incredible abilities, he is able to transmute objects or beings on the atomic or subatomic level. Uatu (the Watcher) once proclaimed Molecule Man as the most powerful being in the Marvel universe.
God Emperor Doom
Empowered by an enslaved Molecule Man, Doctor Doom became God Emperor Doom, the ruler of Battleworld. He was so powerful that he was even able to murder a Phoenix-powered Cyclops, rip out Thanos’ skeleton and even defeat an Infinity Gauntlet-wielding Black Panther.
Professor X
While it doesn’t always seem like it, Professor Charles Xavier is actually one of the most powerful Marvel characters. With the ability to read minds, control minds and even perform astral projection, the leader of the X-Men earned his place at the top. Of course, there are variants of Professor X more powerful than the Earth-616 version. He is abilities beyond just telepathic powers.
Silver Surfer
Norrin Radd (aka Silver Surfer) gets his powers from the Power Cosmic – granting him superhuman strength, endurance, senses and the ability to absorb and manipulate the universe’s ambient energy. He is able to time travel and enter different dimensions. He saved his homeworld from the planet devourer, Galactus, by serving as his herald. He is definitely one of the most powerful heroes.
God is the strongest
Top 5 powerful MCU characters and you list Captain America?? Hahaha. And no Hulk. Hahaha. Hahahahahhaa. Makes the rest of this crap you posted worthless. Sorry. Just awful.
Get a life
Hulk not mentioned?
Mr Sinister
TBH Visions the strongest
Ultron
Oh wow…..it’s not black panther.
You forgot how scarlet which just erases all reality at one point.
THE STRONGEST MARVEL CHARACTER IS SQUIRREL GIRL YA IDIOTS!!!!!!
iron man
scarlet witch (wanda maximoff) is one of the most powerfull characters, and in infin she almost stopped thanos in her own, i think she is even stronger than thanos
WERE THE GOD IS SCARLET WITCH GRDGTBFVCFTCGB NHGYFD
Black Bolt is the coolest and most powerful
u know who is stronger than one above all stan lee
yeah that’s true he. he is not immortals or has any powerful powers
Stan Lee is actually portrayed as the One above all and considering he has been in nearly all of the MCU films while alive as a mortal and never the same character twice ( he even appeared in 3 different Universes) in 3 different Spider man films and last but not least he as long as he is remembered he will always live on within his comics he is immortal
Scarlet Witch(stronger than Thanos, we didn’t experience a good battle one on one after Thanos crying 🤣)
Hela(daughter of Odin, she is stronger than Thor himself)
dog water
Where’s scarlet witch and captain marvel
WHERE THE HELL IS THE SCARLET WITCH?
And THE ONE ABOVE ALL IS KANG ‘THE CONQUEROR’
what about docter Doom, his power can beat Beyonder.
but squrrel girl beat doom, manny times AND she beat galactus on the moon BY HER SELF IN ONE PANNEL
When the Celestials first appeared (just one came to judge Earth in an issue of Thor), Odin popped into the shell of the Destroyer and grew to the size of the Celestial and was promptly and easily killed. I remember reading the letter section in the back in which the editor said that the Celestials were the next level of power, above Galactus, Eternity and some other meta-powerful entities. I guess they got scaled back a bit in the subsequent lore, but it seems they deserve a place somewhere on this list.
is really is annoying how the MCU made the collector and the grand master so weak.
wanda should def be apart of this list!
Bruh list i shorrible, Where is the fulcrum, where is First Firmament, Where is the Above All Others, Where is Thanos Astral Regulator, Where is the HOuse of Ideas, Where is Then and Now, Where is The One Below All, Where is The White Pheonix of The Crown?!!!
What about The demiurge, Billy Kaplan?
where’s mangog, molecule man, zom, dormammu, shuma gorath, the goblin force, celestials, knull, kronos, onslaught, Gorr the god butcher(he should be at least in the bottom part of the list as he can easily defeat old king thor whose more powerful than odin), korvac, the fulcrum, lady death, infinity, oblivion, the watchers, mephisto, ego, the in betweener, vishanti abraxas, apocalypse, tyrant, proteus, cthon all these were in the back of my head and you couldn’t get any one of these sorry but the list lacks research and is pretty weak
what about Amatsu-Mikaboshi
This list could use a update/refresh tbh, especially since it keeps popping up at my top results in google… Also, this list was a joke when it was made.
Carnage should be here because he can latch on to and possess The One Above All.
where is zom and molecule man ?
I think Thor should be in this list.
where is molecule man ? he should be at least in the top 5
WHERE IS ONSLAUGHT, he was able to throw juggernaut (the host of Cyttorak), force Phoenix force (Jean Grey) into submission in a battle of sheer psychic power, control Franklin Richards (number 5 on this list) His physical strength can stop juggernaut mid-charge and throw him across New York. A feat no other character can do. (aside from Gwenpoole or Stan the Man). Onslaught can screw over any character aside a few of the multiversal level entities.
xeranthemum solos all of them
The Beyonder has a chance to beat One Above all because one above all is creator of the WHOLE MARVEL MULTIVERSE. The BEYONDER IS one whole MILLION times stonger than the multiverse which is infinite and but I am talking about the pre-retcon Beyonder because any other Beyonder would be demolished. So maybe put Beyonder on #1 but IDK tho
Batman still kicks their asses!
Docyor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Sentry, Legion and Doctor Doom would like to have a word with most of this list. All the movie blowhards need yo get out of the conversation because that is a different list to be discussing.
Run King Thor and Phoenix king Thor why not in this list he not Powerful than
what about doctor strange
What about knull?
Forbush man: am I a joke to you
Hercules over Odin bro? And magus over Galactus? Why would anyone pay this tool to write this when he ain’t even a real fan
The MoD is a clear top 4 or top 3 contestant. The MoD wiped out Eternity with a wave of his hand lol, as well as the molecule man.
Sentry should be here.
Clearly he would Beat Hercules, Grand Master, Skaar, Sentry has 2 persona Characters, The Void, Deathseed and The Sentry.
Can’t die unless he wants to, he has 30 different powers endowed in him. (At least the Comic makers made him so)
But i won’t blame this list, anyone is entitled to make their list, at least it was Better than the one i saw previously when i googled it, they Made Squirrel Girl Number 1 above all the marvel characters. ?
Got to agree bro.
Thanos with infinity gauntlet complete should be in the top 5.
The one above all represents the writers and is therefore number 1. Hercules was for a brief time worthy of this list during the Chaos King arc. Skaar has no place at all here. The Beyonders and Beyonder are not the same thing. Living Tribunal being killed by some beyonders is just shitty writing. The Celestials should replace skaar. And instead of Odin it should be Rune King Thor.
This list is trash. We all forgot Disney! They all the power.
Where is Mathew Malloy . the most powerful mutant
A list of who is most powerful should be definate but its not and no one can agree and peoples opinion on who should be where is so varied and out of whack is because there are way too many characters with all similar powers; mind control, warping the universe, bending matter etc. Too many overpowered characters. What they’re should have been was only a handful of characters with god like powers.
Stan Lee and the crew probably didn’t know what was going on and forgot what was what. Probably the real reason why there are more universes?
The new x-men film shows phoenix. On this list it shows that if phoenix showed up in avengers against thanos then it would have been a quick battle but these films don’t mix. They’re so many overpowering xmen that would have ended thanos much quicker but are nowhere to be seen.
The truth is the most powerful is what ever the writers decide to write. Having deadpool kill all these god type characters is like a 93 year old man beat up brock lesnar in the octogon. But deadpool achieved this because that’s what the writers written.
I like the list and I know everyone had their on opinion. But to correct a few of these girls comments. Captain marvel is nowhere near Thor’s powerful level. They just changed that for the movie. In the comics however. Thor beats her in every category. Scarlet witch is powerful but she can’t take very much damage. She is still human and isn’t durable. Captain marvel is a joke compared to Thor. He doesn’t even need the Odin force or to be Rune King Thor to destroy her.
Scarlet witch is not more powerful then the Phoenix Force. You can’t even create a valid argument that promotes SW being comparable to a celestial force that eats stars for lunch. SW wouldn’t have much of a target to use her mind controlling and form altering telekinetic magic against a technically formless force of pure destructive cosmic energy.
Best and only argument would be SW against Jean Grey without the Phoenix Force, and even that could go either way.
Just looking at the movies End Game and, I know it was god awful but still, Dark Phoenix (as well as Last Stand) and witness what Jean Grey was capable of.
SW was the only Avenger who overpowered and made Thanos incredibly desperate within moments. All be it without the inifinity gauntlet.
A great feat and it was alluded at during infinity wars. However swap the two characters out and imagine what would have occurred.
Jean Grey with the Phoenix Force would only have to think Thanos out of existence. The same would hold true for Wanda.
Wanda might be able to stop her before she can unleash total havoc but even with Xavier using Cerbro at it’s full power he was forced out of Jeans mind in Dark Pheonix. How could you honestly believe that SW would be able to trump that?
Wanda shoots out energy that hurts like B, DF Jean Grey points at powerful beings and turns them to dust. No contest.
isnt she mortal though?
thanos smacked tf outta her
WHERE IS SCARLET WTCH!!! SHE IS STRONGER THAN CAPTAIN MARVEL,HULK,Dark Phoenix (i love her though),and EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE!!
this isnt the marvel cinematic universe…..this is a comic book list and its everyone in their normal forms so you take the normal scarlet witch not chaos magic or house of m same reason you cant get rune king thor or black priest dr strange or god of magic dr strange
Uh no there was an MCU list, read again
ehm…
RUNE KING PHOENIX ODIN FORCE THOR…….
ehm..
Reality manipulation and stuff like that ruins comics.
Where’s the celestial?
You forget that the only one named since ever as the most powerful and strongest in the Universe is HE-MAN !!!
I am the most powerful marvel character .you should include me first.
Beta Ray Bill should Be on the list. And what about the Watchers ?
Beta Ray Bill should Be on the list.
I think Captain Marvel should be on the list ad well as the Scarlet Witch. These women rock the Marvel Universe.
rune king thor,protege, molecule man, scarlet witch(choas magic), mad jim jaspers?
to be honest, this list is wrong, they put Mikaboshi at number 8 even though eternity said he couldn’t beat mikaboshi so Mikaboshi would at least be number 2 to three, also im pretty sure death ran away from Mikaboshi. odin can destroy entire reality’s, this is proven during his fight with seth, so him being 13 on the list is also wrong. Cyttorak should not be 7 if hes omnipotent(reguardless of being limited to the Crimson Cosmos.) the one above all should not even be up there because hes not that strong nor can you prove this, you can say that hes omnipotent omniscient and omnipresent, but the whole omniscient thing is already solved, hes not omniscient mainly for the fact that he got interested in a deal thanos made, then thanos had to tell him the deal and the one above all was interested as if not knowing, but being omniscient is knowing all.im pretty sure if i kept complaining about this list then this would go on for a little while so im just gonna leave this at this.
WHERE IS SCARLET WITCH!! She can warp reality. You don’t get much stronger than that. And if this was made after captain marvel and endgame, captain marvel should be on this list. Even the Hulk can’t fly a spaceship down from SPACE. WITHOUT DYING.
what about Amatsu-Mikaboshi
WHERE THE HELL IS CAPTAIN MARVEL!!!!!!! She is the most powerful. Even the Hulk can’t fly a damn spaceship down from space. And if this was written before the movie, ok I get it. But Scarlet WItch can WARP REALITY. You don’t get much stronger than that. So don’t you dare underestimate the girls.
Phoenix force clearly referring to the collective, rogue were the stronger of those
Talking smak Spidey wil rule even over the omni potent assassin of beyonder
Brute strength hulk gets outweigh by almost every gamma enfused character that followed (abomination, red hulk)
If its there cosmic or celestial force mar-vel rivals and out weights most other characters
But in all its an ever changing and infinite story-verse
Well i dont know but i think hope or rogue should be up there they are both omega level and can mimic powers meaning they practically can take ANY power and i know this is wrong but wolverine is my fav and i think he should be somewhere up there because pretty much no one can puncture his adamantium and as his claws are also adamantium they can rip through pretty much anything plus he can heal so just sayin also what do u guys think is stronger adamantium or vobranium?
These lists are stupid. They’re flavor-of-the-day. All it would take for that list to become obsolete is for a writer to write a new story where (fill-in-with-the-name-of-your-favorite-hero) beats any one of those, and since the Marvel universe “rules” are completely fabricated, complaints will fall on deaf ears and everyone has to accept the “new” reality.
For myself, I say that only the original creator’s say-so about a character is official. Johnny-come-latelys don’t count. I just ignore them…. So the Hulk will always be the most powerful Marvel character. All others are wanna-bees.
World breaker hulk
Put Dark Phoenix up against the Hulk then come talk to me
WHERE IS DEADPOOL?!
Silver surfer is top 5 for sure !
Stan Lee should be number one.
yes true believer
The Marquis of Death destroyed the sun, turning it into like a neutron star or something, and threw at earth destroying it. He did that to millions of planets and universes. He has almost omnipotent power and can easily kill the people from #5-15 on the list. Just my opinion. He doesn’t have that much popularity, only because he doesn’t show up in many comics, although he showed his absolute power in the ones he did.
Hello Rogue can steal anyone on this list’s powers with just a touch!
But they have to be there for her to touch. So by herself she cant beat them because these people are so insanely powerful that she would be killed before she got close. Like some of the ones on this list would be almost impossible to touch if they didnt want touched.

Hello,to anyone who is saying that “OMFG U STUPID IDIOT HULK IS THA BEST”I have to say that:THANOS WHO WASNT ON THE LIST KICKED HIS ASS SO SHUT UP STUPID 13 YEAR-OLDS!
Thanos not thanks
Thanks, or Kronos should be here as they all powerfull titans, that promise the end of everything ?
Why isn’t David Haller (Legion) on the list, didn’t he like snap gods out of existence. He’s got to be at least above 10.
Yeah…Haller can rip apart a universe with but a simple thought. The dude can not only atom by atom rip a universe but the man also has instantaneous awareness/access to the multiverse–NOW THATS ABSOLUTE POWER. Good mention dude; I’m backing your play!
Yes sir he is easy top 10 and I’m pretty sure he is more powerful then even Richards
why is’nt The Impossible man on the list?
Franklin Richard should be 2 cause he has named 2 strongest according to marvel
Runescape Thor should definitely be on this list if Worldbreaker Hulk is, he either defeated or rivaled the Beyonders, and is 2x as powerful as Oden.
The One Below all?
What a great list thank you. Deadpool definitely missing tho.
Hulk killed death and all the super heroes and villains then resurrected his wife and son so he should be up there
Why wasn’t storm included in the list she has the ability use weather elements to her ability also Thor did not make the list being the son of Odin those 2 together would be a formidable force as they could combine their powers
Molecule man whopped the Beyonders ass and he’s not on the lists? PITIFUL
My ex wife would be #1 she has the ability to crush a man’s soul and bleed their wallet dry
That power only works on weaklings.
Where’s Legion, Scarlet Witch, Ant-Man in some ways too (quantum), Loki who has defeated Surfer, Thor, Hulk should be here especially planet/world breaker seeing as he has no limits to his powers/strength period. And even Vision is seriously powerful alongside the characters Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock and The Kree Empire in general which aren’t so much stand alone powerful but the armies they have are frightening to say the least. Then there’s the likes of genius powerful- Like the saying you don’t need superpowers to be a hero or even a massive threat universally and people like Ironman, Reed Richards, Von Doom and Moongirl could think of devastating ways to cause serious drama if they went the other way or had bad intentions.
Star Lord is also by far more powerful than a lot of this list massively being a celestial due to his father the living planet Ego who’d stomp a lot solo being one himself. You then have the likes of White Queen Phoenix, Silver Surfer is more powerful than many here too. Squirrel Girls defeated Thanos so she’s a candidate. Invisible Womans not most powerful but she has beaten Jean Grey before and so too has Emma Frost. The only reason I mention the few non god like X-Men characters is for one Storm hurt Surfer twice and that’s hard to do. Damn even Spiderman surprise one shot him off his board (no I am not confusing them as all powerful god or skyfather beings i’m simply stating define most powerful) most powerful at what exactly even the best can fall to people you’d never expect to get hits in never mind win. Talking of Skyfathers also pretty sure Hela would end mostly all this list the exceptions being the top 3 t 5 never mind the fact The Collector wipe out an entire race of elites single handed so that’s power there. Christ The Collector makes Thanos look silly in terms of raw power and even Thanos deserves to be on this list. There’s loads others but it’d take all day.
????????
I find it hard to believe that Thor isn’t on this list seeing how he passed Odin #13 in every single trial that Odin failed. He the later defeated The Living Tribunal #3 in his later comics. Not to mention the time he enslaved the entire cosmos for 1000 years to “protect” it, then went back in time and stopped himself from doing it.
I’m surprised Mr Mar-vel, or Hope who is another Omega-level mutant, she was born with her powers active and gained more as she grew up. She also was the host for the 5th Phoenix (White Phoenix) not to be confused Jean’s later Phoenix of the white room. She was born with 2 powers, by 18 years old she had 7 or more powers. She could man handle Thanos even with his Infinity Gauntlet.
U think storm is as powedul as some of these on the list. While she is busy calling up clouds to cause a lighting strike thor hits her in the face with lighting be ause he is the god of thunder but sure storm who is a mutant that controls wind and pulls clouds together can beat him and he isnt even on the list
A lot wrong with this list
“Hercules, the son of Zeus, is considered the physically strongest character in the entire Marvel universe. He is stronger than both Thor and Hulk, and once pulled the entire island of Manhattan which weighed 99,000,000,000 tons.”
Hmmmm, Herc is physically stronger than Hulk? O-Kay….. *Maybe* before Hulk gets Angry. On that basis, Thor is pretty close to un-angered Hulk, and Algrim/Kurse has More than Twice Thor’s strength. That should put him around twice Hulk’s base level strength too.
Herc is also Not more Powerful than Odin.
The Celestials are more powerful than Odin.
Fulcrum, as others have noted.
Lord Chaos and Master Order?
The Stranger? Surtur?
BTW, wasn’t *The* Beyonder retconned to be one of the race The Beyonders?
Didn’t Protege have the ability to duplicate Any power?
What about Mickey Mouse… he has the power to make you laugh until your sides hurt.
????????
also he can buy your soul and bend your reality to his will
Why Fulcrum is omitted from this list? As far as I know he is the second most powerful being in the Marvel Universe. In fact some claim Fulcrum is Jack Kirby. Over here it’s been mentioned that One-Above-All has taken the form of Jack Kirby. I’m bit confused. Can somebody to clarify things.
Im guessing they are basically the same. If you are at that level of power why not just be the Fulcrum instead of TOAA for a day, and then switch back.
“…the Fulcrum is likely an aspect, manifestation, or alternate name of the One-Above-All.
The Fulcrum is an incarnation of Jack Kirby, the well known author who literally created the Celestials and the eternals…”(1)
where is spawn? He killed satan and GOD. You know, christian god. The one that could do anything he wanted to do because he is so powerful. Yeah, spawn killed them, then basically did whatever he wanted without care.
Spawn is not marvel.
spawn isnt marvel looooooooooooooool
Deadpool should be second, in the comics Deadpool kills the marvel universe, he nearly assasinates every marvel entity and then later turns and looks at the reader and says ” I’ll find you soon enough”. But all in all, one above all should be at the top. He represents the creators.
What about rune king thor???
Not sure on the exact order of this list , but another thing that I AM certain about involves several of the characters here as well.
And that would be the list for cheesiest, lamest, most over the top, laughably ridiculous while being embarrassingly dumb and just plain old stupidest names ever given to characters in anything. Marvel and DC have always held a monopoly on this with the number one slot still being:
The Living Tribunal. So lame.
One above All….where do I even start. Such depth must have been given to the thought process of coming up with that one. They saved ink in combining name and description.
The Beyonder…Uhhh, okay. Awesome I guess?
Steppenwolf…Wonder what music was playing when that was thought up?
Marvel has some of the coolest names of characters ever as well. Just so hilarious to see the most powerful with the most god awful, unimaginative and laughable, literally laughable names .
The Living Tribunal….HAHAHA! Marvel can steal my tribute of a user name for a final showdown!
Boi,TLT be existing before you’re even a sperm LOL.
Unlike DC. “Lucifer Morningstar” Wonder what they read before that name was thought up? Satanist Books?
“Superman” …Sounds lame af.
“Wonder Woman” She be Wondering.
and “Steppenwolf” is from DC.
LOLLLL
The Molecule Man should be top 5.
Marquis of death. He should definitely be on there!
where the living hell is deadpool he should be on this list. did any one forget he actually murdered almost everyone in the multiverse and he can literally not die.
Well, this is actually wrong. While yes, he did kill everyone regular in the marvel universe, he didn’t kill any truly cosmic entities. He didn’t touch any of them. Besides, any one of these people besides Skaar or Hercules could kill him. All they would have to do is destroy every molecule in his body, which for these people, would be a snap of their fingers.
WBH should be in place of Skarr. Even Apocalypse’s Horseman version of Hulk was stronger than Skarr.
Not a very comprehensive list im sorry to say.
9-15 wouldn’t be even in my top 40 to be honest.
The Magus entry is all wrong. Possibly confused with the other Magus.
This Magus’s son is not Adam warlock. Just Warlock. This Magus is the head of the Technarchy, an alien Techno organic race of beings.
The other Magus is the evil verson of Adam Warlock.
Neither should be on this list though. Well def not in the top 100 if being honest.
I feel that the Beyonder should be third on this list and the Living Tribunal should be second since he was created to be second in power to the One Above All and has never gotten his powers stolen by Dr. Doom .
Hercules and vulcan lol wouldn’t be even on the top 200 of my list. There are so many more powerful beings in marvel its ridiculous! Sorry!
But he died by the beyonder he should be third because warlock becomes the new living tribunal
The information is wrong.
Living Tribunal was killed by the Beyonders not Beyonder.
Where the hell is Thanos? I’m in no way saying he should be at the top, but you’d think he’d at least be top 5 or slightly lower.
But anyone with the infinity gauntlet would be there so it wouldn’t be just Thanos. If anything it would be categorized as “Infinity Stones” but those are items, not beings, wouldn’t really work out that well
Nice wannabe list fool. Crap internet list that ended up in top placement.
dude what about molecule man i agree with the list but molecule man has to be in that list also i think gladiator is suppose to be here.
The marquis of death anyone? Should be at least number 3
What about Deadpool, have we all forgotten that he killed everyone in the marvel universe?
deadpool can easily be erased from the earth!!!!
Well, technically not. He is immortal, and he can rewrite himself. Marvel is thinking about getting rid of him, sadly.
From reading the Marvel wiki on Magus, it seems like a lot is known about Magus …
Why does everyone get pre-retconned Beyonder wrong? He is more powerful than TOAA. The TOAA is supreme being of the Marvel multiverse, the Beyonder is supreme being of the Beyond Realm. The Beyond Realm was considered to be much greater in size than the Marvel multiverse and was also not considered part of that multiverse either. The comparison was a drop of water in an ocean, with Marvel being the drop and the Beyond Realm being an ocean. Basically you have supreme being vs supreme being, one that hails from a much bigger multiverse and is much greater in power than that very multiverse. (power millions of
times greater than the Marvel multiverse was what was said about him I believe)
If you’re able to find the source, I’ll be happy to have a look through, and possibly update.
The One Above All is not the supreme being of the Marvel multiverse; he/she/it (whatever) is the supreme being of the omniverse, including the DC multiverse, all entertainment universes, etc. Because of this, the Beyonder is stuck at number two
All the stuff about Beyonder was retconned. So it’s not even a part of normal marvel continuity
TOAA is the representation of a collective consciousness of writers, creators, and all those people working at creating entertainment, with his DC name being Overmonitor.
no, he is not he is near-omnipotent but not omnipotent like the TOAA
I think Jesus should be number one…
Now let’s pray.
Lol?
Lol!
Ummm.Yeah no the Phoenix is not that powerful. Stop lying to you’re self.Also Jean is an omega level Mutant that’s true but she dies A LOT so no she doesn’t deserve to be on the list. Franklin Richards has done a lot in comics he’s way way more powerful then Jean. He has done in comics
1) He made Galaxy’s his herald and rose him from nothing.
2) He creates pocket universes like no joke. The kid goes in his room makes universes and puts them in his pocket. Jeans a joke compared to him
3) He made a counter Universe and brought every hero there so they wouldn’t die.
So tell me how he doesn’t do “anything” in comic books…..
Now tell me how dose she or the Phoenix are above him also one more thing what are you stupid the Phoenix, above beyonder or TOAA for that matter you’re hilarious…
I’m sorry but the Phoenix Force should be number 1. Or the very least above Frankilin Rhichards. I never saw that kid do anything in the comics. Every FF comic so far he is just too weak.
Also no Jean Grey???? She is omega level and the most know powerful mutant there is.
Spiderman is the best one ever of all them.
U forgot to add the hulk because he is immortal and his powers are limitless. The more hulk will get angry the more powerful he will get
Ok, spiderman is like an ant compared to a car on this list.
not true spider man can lift over 3000 tons
You think about Jean Grey while I’m thinking about David Haller, The Legion. Since he has every power and yet a single separate character controls each one of his power and he is also an Omega, I think he should be there too.
she cant be number 1. literally none can beat the one above all
How do you figure that the Phoenix Force should be first when it doesn’t have infinite power and doesn’t hold a candle to beings like the One above all , Living Tribunal or the Beyonder who is the total sum and creator force of his own universe ?
Jean Grey embodies the Phoenix force, for the sake of the list they’re the same. Jean Grey needs the Phoenix force to be comparable to the other characters on this list anyways.
And no, it is absolutely absurd to believe the Phoenix force is anywhere near first place. You could make a good argument that it is superior to Franklin, though, as they were both capable of defeating Galactus. However, Richards is consistently shown to be more powerful and subdued Galactus with a lot more ease. I’d have to give the edge to Richards, at least when he is at the peak of his power.
Professor x can control anyone by entering their mind, including Jean
Scarlet Witch will most likely not be number one. One Above All is literally the representation of the creators of Marvel. There is no possibility she would be able to compete with him. Her existence would be completely wiped out.
Franklin revived Galactus, and killed a celestial with a single punch, he went back in time to teach himself tonise his powers and basically became twice as strong
Jean Grey is technically the Phoenix Force
Actually, the most powerful being is everyone. Because, well, comic logic
good logic
no, the Pheonix force was created by the passion of the universe and it is not omnipotent jean grey is not powerful on her own if we include hosts the juggernaut would be on this list
Actually in the comics Frankling Richards as a child could make pocket universes for fun and even when he grew up was able to defeat cellestials.
do you know that frankilin is the most powerful mutant he can beat the phoenix force
lmao phoenix force no 1 u on drugs ? The phoenix force should be like 4th ig above franklin yea but no more. But u never saw the kid do anything thats ur fault. As a kid he could create pocket universes. As an adult he’s above gaactus and celestials but yeah he should be around 9th in the list
sentry rape hecules, where is?
It was Ares that Sentry ripped apart.
I’m surprised the Scarlet Witch is nowhere in that list, considering that she can treat reality like an etch-a-sketch. Her son, Wiccan, is supposed to grow up to be the Demiurge and set magic free.
True. Scarlet Witch should probably be on the list.
scarlet witch (wanda maximoff) is one of the most powerfull characters, and in infin she almost stopped thanos in her own, i think she is even stronger than thanos
Dont forget about our God,who created All that exists.
