Marvel universe who is the most powerful

And yes, he has beaten Galactus in battle. Captain Marvel, like Thor, is even more powerful in the comics than on the big screen. Carol Danvers, aside from being crazy strong, indestructible, capable of interstellar flight, and able to shoot photon beams at folks, is also precognitive.

She can also control gravity and light, and can manipulate and absorb radiation and magic. Her powers are off the charts, and when she's introduced, she will be by far the strongest character we've ever had.

Gladiator is the leader of the Shi'ar imperial guard, and is stronger than the Juggernaut, Thor, and the Hulk. Kallark his real name competed against a host of other beings for the title of Gladiator. Being of the planet Strontia, Kaalark already had impressive physiology, but the Gladiator trials granted him so much more. When he feels really good about himself, he can destroy entire planets.

Gladiator has easily K. If hearsay is to be believed, Gladiator has also collapsed stars and destroyed black holes. He has the stamina to fight for days before feeling tired. He can shoot energy beams from his eyes so intense they can burn the skin off the Hulk. Oh, and he can blow hurricane-level winds out of his lungs. Gladiator may just be the Superman of the Marvel universe. I'm not sure even Supes has done that before.

While the Wanda Maximoff of cinematic and comic book presence are dissimilar in origin, both versions have immense power. She can fly, she can blast enemies with energy, and she can perform telekinesis and telepathy. She can also cast probability-altering hexes and chaos magic, but more importantly, she can alter the very fabric of reality itself.

In WandaVision , she resurrected Vision and gave life to two children in a very unnatural way. Wanda is, in fact, a Nexus Being: those very few and rare individuals who can affect probability, and thus the future of the world.

In the movies, Wanda went up against Thanos twice, without a scratch. In WandaVision , the evil witch Agatha told her that she could destroy the world. She earns this rank on the list because she beat Scarlet Witch in a fight. You remember that show on FX! And you remember it because it ruled! And it ruled because Legion is such a bad-ass. Legion is one of the most powerful mutants ever born, and of Omega-level ranking, thanks to his papa, Charles Xavier.

His powers are basically limitless, but handicapped by his fractured psyche caused by dissociative identity disorder. This took hold under the traumatic event of watching his stepfather get killed. It caused a psychic split, which left him as just one of an ocean of different personalities floating around in his brain, each in control of one of his abilities. But throughout the series and the comics, David has demonstrated the powers of pyrokinesis, telepathy, super strength, super speed, super healing, time travel, mind control, and even reality alteration, not unlike Scarlet Witch.

If Legion ever managed to get his shit together, he could be number one on this list. Proteus Kevin MacTaggert is another Omega-level mutant, specifically capable of warping reality. Yep, very Scarlet Witch. Proteus has many varied and versatile powers. He can teleport anywhere in the Marvel universe and multiverse, generate forcefields, manipulate molecules to a degree, and terraform planets with a thought. He is one of the few beings who can travel to the Astral Plane.

His telepathic and telekinetic abilities are off the charts. Proteus, in his natural form, is a being composed of pure energy, which basically makes him immortal.

But no, this does not make him cosmic. Sadly, Kevin must possess human hosts from time to time to feed on. Real heavy hitters. So have a look at the below ranking of the 37 most powerful Marvel beings in the Marvel Universe , and see how many names you can recognize. Some notes on the ranking: Obviously, this is largely subjective. Many of these characters are roughly equal in power, and most have not directly faced off against one another to prove who is more powerful. Also, very powerful characters who essentially existed for one storyline — like Korvac, Protege, and Abraxas — were omitted from the ranking in favor of characters who have had more of a consistent presence.

The list also mainly deals with characters from the Prime Marvel Universe of Earth rather than other realities. The God of Thunder is unquestionably one of the most powerful conventional superheroes in the Marvel Universe, with his Asgardian physiology and godly birthright granting him some impressive abilities.

Thor is physically one of the strongest characters in existence; he is nearly invulnerable to harm; and his hammer Mjolnir grants him control over the weather as well as access to massive amounts of destructive energy. Another familiar face, Wanda Maximoff is one of the few Earth-born characters to make this list. His powers have varied greatly over the years and at times been difficult to define, but at his best, Strange can do almost anything. He frequently travels to other dimensions to do battle with ancient demons and cosmic beings, and has proven he can hang with just about anyone.

In reality, Mephisto is a powerful extra-dimensional demon who rules over a dimension called Hell. The Elders are a disparate group of extremely ancient aliens, each of whom is the last survivor of their own race. These immortals been around since the Big Bang, and are among the oldest beings in the universe. Given their lineage, they have access to the Power Primordial, which is the leftover energy from the creation of the universe. While Kurt Russell brought a certain amount of charm to this character in the MCU , the comics version is far more brutal.

An anthropomorphized living planet, Ego has complete control over his entire planetary surface. He can create life from his biological material and command it to do his bidding, and he eats other celestial bodies for fuel. He also has vast psionic powers that allow him to do battle with cosmic entities and other powerful beings. He has sometimes been described as an Elder of the Universe, but unlike in the MCU, he is not a Celestial more on them later. Kind of hard to believe, but it just goes to show how many incredibly powerful beings populate the Marvel Universe.

Thanos is a mutant Eternal from Titan, a moon of Saturn, and he naturally has incredible strength, durability, and powers of energy manipulation. His prowess alone makes him at least equal to someone like Thor, but what makes Thanos even tougher is his determination and cunning. Thanos has conquered the universe multiple times in the comics by gaining access to MacGuffins like the Infinity Gauntlet and the Heart of the Universe — and when he has those in his possession he is nigh-omnipotent, easily rocketing to the top five on this list.

He was originally created by a team of scientists on Earth who were trying to build the perfect man — and ended up being a little too successful. Warlock became a cosmic being who has had to save the universe more than once. An alternate-future evil version of him named Magus has also conquered the universe, but never mind that. Warlock cannot die — at least not permanently — and he has loads of abilities tied to the universe, including matter manipulation, cosmic awareness, magical powers, and the capability to absorb and produce massive amounts of energy.

He also is permanently bonded to an Infinity Stone, the Soul Gem , which grants further impressive ability. Yes, that Zeus. In addition to the Norse gods, Marvel also taps into the pantheon of Greek gods among others , making them into living, breathing characters. And sitting at the top of the Olympian hierarchy is Zeus. As one of the Skyfathers — the leaders of their respective pantheons — Zeus is a high-ranking cosmic being in the Marvel Universe.

He possesses a high level of cosmic awareness, is absurdly strong and nearly impossible to hurt, and has vast magical abilities.

Surtur is a fire giant who rules over Muspelheim, one of the Nine Realms from Norse lore. He is the mortal enemy of Odin and Asgard, and is considered an equal to the Norse Skyfather.

Naturally, he is capable of destroying Asgard, just as he does in Ragnarok. You probably saw this one coming after the last two entries. While the Odin of the MCU has never really been shown to do all that much save for banishing Thor from Asgard in the original Thor film , the comics version is a powerhouse. He is the leader of the Skyfathers and wields a considerable amount of power and influence in the cosmos. Odin also has access to the Odinforce, an incredibly powerful source of magic that allows the Asgardian God to do almost anything.

While Thanos is quite powerful, Dormammu is arguably the most powerful character to show up so far in the MCU. Dormammu is an extremely ancient and powerful magical being who is composed entirely of mystical energy.

As such, his mastery over the mystic arts exceeds even that of Doctor Strange — even though Strange has used his cunning to defeat him on occasion, like in the film Doctor Strange. Dormammu is Lord of the Dark Dimension, and like other extra-dimensional beings, he is most powerful and nearly unbeatable in his home dimension.

Zom is an extra-dimensional being who was created to destroy, but he was so powerful that he had to be bound by a group of other extremely powerful beings — including Dormammu. He has proven that he put down numerous Marvel superheroes at once, and has only shown weakness against some of the most formidable cosmic abstracts.

Chthon is one of the Elder Gods, and is arguably the strongest in their ranks. Apart from his great strength, Hercules can withstand cosmic blasts out of Nova and live in space. This Hercules is not the Greek mythological hero nor the Disney character. He is known for his immense strength and is often outmatched by very few other characters. He could become just about any material, any size, form, and color improved shapeshifting. At his most potent, he is in a position to divide a celebrity into 2.

Mikaboshi, the Japanese god of evil and insanity, is an abstract being larger than Odin. His abilities include immortality, truth manipulation, stealth, strength, recovery, endurance, shapeshifting, and much more.

Cyttorak is a potent deity and maybe the most powerful magical being in each one of the Marvel universe. However, Cyttorak can be found outside his own realm and is still extremely powerful and dangerous. This is why we placed him so high on our list. First appearing in Strange Tales , Eternity, the twin brother of Infinity and the sister of Death and Oblivion, is the very embodiment of time. Greater than Galactus, he could control time and truth. But neither could have been possible without the support of different characters: At the prior circumstance, Drax hauled her away from risk and saved her own life; at the latter, Doctor Strange place her set up to subdue Thanos.

Her skill set is particular and, in regards to the majority of scenarios, not very helpful. Doctor Strange is another earthling and MCU star. He holds the title of Sorcerer Supreme of Earth He is a master of the magic arts and one of the most powerful magicians in the Marvel Universe. Although his powers have changed over time and are sometimes difficult to identify, Strange can see almost everything. Strange frequently travels to other dimensions to fight ancient demons or cosmic beings.

He has shown that he can be with anyone. Ego, an anthropomorphized living planet, has total control over the entire planet. Ego can make a living out of his biological material, command it to do so, and he also eats other celestial bodies as fuel. He has vast psionic powers of psionic abilities that enable him to fight against powerful cosmic entities and other powerful beings in the whole Marvel Universe.

The Phoenix Force, an abstract, immortal cosmic entity, represents all of life in the universe. It can access almost unlimited amounts of cosmic power and all psionic energies in the Omniverse which includes all multiverses, pocket dimensions, etc. It can create or destroy large swathes of the universe and any multiverse or pocket dimension. Jean Grey, a powerful, telekinetic X-Men, is its favorite host. Although the Phoenix Force can manipulate and absorb energy, it can eliminate Galactus and other similar characters.

It is the number one Marvel Comics Universe figure in the cosmic hierarchy. It created the universe and its components, including the Beyonders, and has omnipotence and omnipresence.

Although it rarely intervenes in the events, it has been seen in male and female forms. However, its most common appearance is Jack Kirby, who co-created many Marvel characters with Stan Lee.

The-One-Above All has previously manifested in physical form, appearing as a homeless man to counsel grieving Peter Parker. This implies that The One Above All is the Marvel writers, who decide what happens to the characters. He is a fictional character that appears in Marvel Comics comic books. Fabian Nicieza, Rob Liefeld created him.

He first appeared in The New Mutants 98 He is a comic book character who has enjoyed great popularity because of his quirky personality and weird stories. Marvel Comics has published stories about the Hulk, a fictional superhero. He is an average human with no superhuman abilities.

He also has a higher healing factor than Wolverine. This guy is not to be underestimated. This character is rightly called the Chaos King. He is powerful enough to take down the entire world.

His physical strength is far greater than that of many Marvel characters and deities. However, his magical powers are exceptional, as is his endurance. He can affect the celestial bodies and capture the essence of those who have just died. Adam Warlock is a god. That was before he obtained the Soul Gem. Or Stone. His almost infinite array of powers includes the standard superhuman strength, stamina, and agility, as well as common characteristics like flight.

Then things get crazy. Adam Warlock is protected by something called soul immunity. This protects him and his soul, the most crucial part against any magic-based attack. He can also manipulate matter. This is just the tip. Chthon, one of the Elder Gods, is the strongest among them. The Elder Gods, not to be confused with the Elders of the Universe, were the first intelligent beings to live on Earth. They have considerable cosmic powers. His power is so mighty that he is one of the primary sources of magic in the universe Scarlet Witch derives her chaos magic powers from him.

He also has universe-level severe reality-warping capabilities. He is, however, most potent in his home dimension, which he created.

This pair of inseparable abstracts sits equally with Love and Hate on a ladder of cosmic power. They are not physically formed, but they are the literal embodiments of chaos and order that govern all things.

And unlike Love and Hate, they have shown an openness to getting involved in the affairs of the multiverse. To gain more power, they created The In-Betweener to serve their needs. Dormammu, a powerful and ancient magical being made entirely of mystical energy, is a formidable character. His mastery of the mystic arts is far greater than that of Doctor Strange, even though Strange has sometimes used his cunning against him, as in the movie Doctor Strange.

Dormammu, Lord of the Dark Dimension, is like other extra-dimensional beings and is almost unbeatable in his home dimension. In-Betweener, whose appearance is split down the middle, is half-black, half-white and represents chaos and order. Although he is a vast powers force on a cosmic scale, his dual nature has allowed him to show that he can also be humble.

Eternity and Infinity are two more cosmic abstracts that can be regarded as inseparable. They encompass everything that occurs within the universe. You read that correctly. These are literal concepts of time and reality, and they hold unlimited power in this world. They can control and manipulate everything that exists, making them extremely powerful.

The pair is ranked seventh on the list so that things could get even more ridiculously powerful. Shuma-Gorath is our final mystical extradimensional being. He is the oldest living being in the multiverse, and he rules over an empire that spans hundreds of dimensions. He is immortal and near-omnipotent within his domain. His mystical powers make him capable of destroying entire realities.

Although the Celestials can be defeated by themselves, they can be combined to make them almost unstoppable. They invented the X-Gene and made it possible to transform humans through Gamma Radiation.
