The 25 Strongest Superheroes In The MCU, Ranked

Wanda Maximoff was experimented on with the energy from Loki's Scepter, which held the Mind Stone as its source of power. The Stone gave her incredible powers of both mental and physical manipulation.

Maximoff can mess with other people's minds, and did so against Tony Stark and the Hulk, which caused the latter to go on a devastating rampage. She easily took Vision out of the picture during a quick fight, and, at the time, Vision himself was powered by the Mind Stone, which was embedded in his forehead.

When she went up against Thanos, Maximoff held him at bay for long enough to destroy the Mind Stone. In the following movie, she went up against him at full power and potentially could have ended him - had the Titan not called upon his ship to break up the fight with overhead artillery.

Thor is the son of Odin and the presumptive ruler of Asgard following his father's passing. He is the god of thunder and has been battling foes for the better part of 1,500 years. He is highly trained in combat, but his power made him arrogant, which led to a temporary exile on Earth and separation from his powers.

When he once again proved he was mighty and truly worthy of his power, he came back more powerful and level-headed than ever before. In the MCU, he's gone up against some of the most powerful villains in the MCU and walked away with little more than a missing eye and a giant gut.

He ended the original Thanos, he bested Hela, he defeated Malekith, and even withstood the intense radiation of a dying star. Thor isn't just godlike, he's a god, and his ability to channel lightning to enhance his strength is unmatched.

Dr. Stephen Strange was one of the greatest neurosurgeons in the world, but after an accident ruined his hands, he spent his entire fortune looking for a means to repair them. After trying everything he could, he opted to journey to Kamar-Taj to find the Ancient One.

He witnessed the great power the Ancient One controlled, which spurred him to beg for training in the mystic arts. He took to magic easily after a short time and expanded his knowledge exponentially. He went up against Kaecilius before he fully understood what he could do, and learned a lesson in acting strategically.

He defeated Dormammu, an extra-dimensional being intent on conquering all of reality, and helped stop Thanos. He's the most powerful sorcerer in the Marvel Universe, and one of the most powerful people seen in the movies.

When Carol Danvers was bathed in the radiation of the Tesseract, which held the Space Stone at its core, she was given great and incredible powers. Initially, she was inhibited by a chip in her neck, but after burning it out, she went from being powerful to almost godlike.

Her power set is pretty long, but from what has been shown in the films, she can fly through interstellar space (possibly in excess of the speed of light), she can fire off powerful blasts of energy, she's either immortal or ages slowly, and she's pretty much invincible.

When she went up against Thanos while he was wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, his blows didn't even muss her hair. The only way he was able to beat her was to pull out the Power Stone, which gave him the energy boost he needed to punch her across the battlefield.

Had he failed to grab the stone, the Titan wouldn't have been able to do anything to her. She's just that powerful.

The Ancient One is the former Sorcerer Supreme of Earth and leader of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. She initiated the training that transformed Dr. Stephen Strange into the powerful sorcerer that would ultimately replace her.

Though she didn't have much screen time in the MCU, she was shown to be ridiculously powerful. She could create weapons and force fields out of her hands, she could alter reality to suit her will, and she could easily manipulate her enemies to do what she needed in order to beat them.

She willingly gave the Time Stone to Bruce Banner after knocking the good scientist's astral form from the Hulk's physical body. She understood the nature of the Multiverse, time travel, and pretty much every other aspect of importance in the MCU. During her lifetime, she was unquestionably the most powerful sorcerer on Earth.

The Hulk is practically rage incarnate, and while he's incredibly strong under normal circumstances, he gets stronger the angrier he gets. He's able to leap great distances, he can tear apart buildings and giant monsters, and he can recover from pretty much any injury, though it's rare for him to be injured.

Hulk has fought and defeated Thor on several occasions, and he will jump into a fight whenever he sees a threat. He was more than willing to go after Surtur in Thor: Ragnarok, and there's a good chance he would have knocked that giant crown right off his head.

Hulk was the only one of the Avengers who could undo Thanos's snap and survive - though it did wither his arm in the process. This suggests that he is at least as powerful as Thanos, which is really saying something.
