After phase 4, the top 15 most potent MCU characters

Spread MCU News

After Phase 4, The Straight listed the 15 most potent MCU characters. Once Black Panther: Wakanda Forever wrapped out Phase 4 and brought Phase 5 to a close, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania debuted. The MCU has explored entities far more powerful than anything ever seen in the Multiverse Saga, and this should only increase as the series continues into Phases 5, 6, and 7.

Hela

Hela, the Goddess of Death, displayed her impressive Asgardian powers in Thor: Ragnarok after Odin’s death released her from a millennia-long captivity. She defeated the Asgardian forces with ease and defeated the Revengers, a group that included Thor, Loki, Valkyrie, and Hulk. Hela was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the days before Odin imprisoned her, having been given the All-trust Father’s to lead Asgard’s army and act as his executioner. Together, they oversaw a devastating invasion that brought the Nine Realms under Asgard’s rule.

Odin

Odin was undoubtedly one of the most powerful gods to have ever existed in his peak, despite the MCU only featuring an older and weathered version of him. With the help of the Odinforce, which blends cosmic and magical energy with Odin’s own life force, he is able to do amazing feats like bending reality. Before the MCU’s events, Odin vanquished Surtur and stole the Eternal Flame from him; Surtur was then proven to be strong enough to overcome Hela and wipe out all of Asgard when he was reconnected with that power source after Odin’s death.

Surtur

In his own words, the moment the Crown of Surtur is merged with the Eternal Flame, his power expands to the size of “a mountain.” Surtur was relatively simple for Thor to defeat in his natural condition, but after the Crown and Flame were joined, the fire demon carried out the Ragnarok prophesy by destroying Asgard and Hela with it. Only Odin, whom he subsequently grew so afraid of that he waited until his absence to continue his efforts to bring about Ragnarok, appears to have been able to vanquish an Eternal Flame-powered Surtur.

Dormammu

Dormammu, an interdimensional creature and the master of the Dark Dimension, appeared in Doctor Strange very briefly, although it was evident that he had great power. He is endowed with a variety of powers, including immortality and the capacity to impart that magic on others, due to his complete control over the Dark Dimension and Dark Magic. Even before the fight, Benedict Cumberatch’s sorcerer was aware that he had no chance against Dormammu. As he “came to negotiate” for the future of the planet, he was forced to murder him repeatedly by trapping him in an eternal time loop.

Strange Supreme

How about if? numerous MCU heroes, including Doctor Strange, who has his powers turned up in this parallel reality, new spins. The Supreme Variant focused his magical career on growing more powerful since he had set his heart on changing a certain moment in time to save Christine Palmer. He achieved this by absorbing ever stronger animals, which only increased his strength and finally allowed him to use magic to maintain a little portion of his planet when the rest of the cosmos disintegrated. Later, Strange Supreme played a crucial role in directing The Watcher’s Guardians of the Multiverse in their battle with Infinity Ultron. And even before that increase in strength, Marvel Studios proclaimed the well-known Doctor Strange as one of the MCU’s two most powerful heroes.

The Watcher

In the MCU, The Watcher has only engaged in one on-screen battle, which took place in What If…? Season 1 against Ultron. However there’s no disputing that Uatu was able to hold his own against the Ultron Variant, who had all six Infinity Stones, and even survived the destruction of a galaxy, despite being supercharged to ridiculous heights. Yet since The Watcher has vowed a pledge to never meddle, he or she often confines herself to watching the Multiverse from the Nexus of All Realities.

Ego

The next character is Ego, a Celestial who can really take on the shape of a living planet and is also the father of Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord. With his strength, endurance, and immortality, as well as his capacity to control matter and energy, Kurt Russell’s adversary is undoubtedly immensely strong. The fact that he is an eternal genius and possesses godlike skills means that he is able to accomplish whatever that his mind can think of. Eventually, the Guardians did succeed in destroying him by dropping a bomb on his more vulnerable core, which the planet and his humanoid form were made to protect.

Arishem

Arishem the Judge is undoubtedly one of the most potent creatures because he is one of the few Celestials to appear in the MCU. After all, he not only made the Eternals and Deviants, but also the cosmos with its stars, planets, and first sun, sowing the seeds for other Celestials along the way. Arishem is entirely focused on the place of the Celestials in the cosmos and has no respect for other forms of existence. Following Eternals, Arishem will now judge the inhabitants of Earth for the death of Tiamut, the Celestial who was intended to rise from the globe, due to his own heroic inventions.

Scarlet Witch

Wanda Maximoff was one of the MCU’s most powerful characters from the beginning, as shown by the fact that she almost defeated Thanos by herself in Endgame until his ships began raining down fire. In the events of Infinity War, she even defeated Vision’s Mind Stone while thwarting Thanos. The former Avenger has subsequently gained access to the Darkhold’s powers through WandaVision, making her far more potent in her new Scarlet Witch form. She did, after all, fight the Illuminati and Kamar-Taj in its entirety in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Thanos

It is simple to understand why Thanos should rank so highly on this list given his ability to defeat all of the Avengers using the Infinity Gauntlet, battle the Hulk head-to-head without using the stones, and obliterate half of all life in the universe while surviving the negative effects of the stones. Even without the stones, the Mad Titan had shown to be incredibly formidable, and he only got worse when he had them. True, when the stones weakened him, he succumbed without putting up much of a fight, but defeating Thanos in his prime required the combined power of several heroes and a significant cost.

Infinity Ultron

How about if? culminated in a confrontation between the Guardians of the Multiverse and a Variant of Ultron, a fearsome opponent who had managed to gain possession of all six Infinity Stones, use the Mind Stone to murder Thanos, and transfer his consciousness into Vision’s body. The Watcher had to breach his promise not to tamper with the timeline since the Infinity Ultron was so strong. Ultron was only stopped by a virus that gained control of his programming after using the Infinity Stones to casually tear through worlds and destroy cosmos.

Kang the Conqueror

Disney has referred to Kang the Conqueror as “the MCU’s most powerful villain to yet,” praising him for his reliability and capacity to “rewrite existence and break timelines.” He even said that he had already murdered many Avengers, perhaps including Thor, the God of Thunder. The Multiversal Power Core banished Jonathan Majors’ Kang, who appeared to have been defeated by Earth’s heroes in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, but he will very surely return, stronger than ever.

Alioth

As the shark in the Void’s shark tank, Alioth made his debut in Loki’s climactic episodes. But, He Who Remains found Alioth before the trans-temporal entity began eating individuals who had been trimmed by the TVA and left behind at the end of time. During the Multiversal War, the scientist Nathaniel Richards of the 31st century discovered Alioth and used them to end the fight by eradicating whole timelines and eliminating many Kang Variants in the process.

He Who Remains

Alioth may have been the entity that guarded the Void and was utilised to win the first Multiversal War, but that had to put the Kang Variant, He Who Remains, who was able to harness its power, one step higher. He Who Remains was able to write the whole Infinity Saga and reduce reality to just one Sacred Timeline, which he established the TVA to oversee, after eradicating innumerable timelines and Kang Variants. He is clearly one of the most powerful minds in existence with so much control and command over time.

Eternity

Yet, Thor: Love and Thunder debuted Eternity, the MCU’s most potent character to far. The ancient deity was said to grant the wishes of the first human to contact it, who turned out to be Gorr the God Butcher, in its own domain, which could only be entered through the Gates of Eternity. Gorr first intended to use this wish to destroy all Gods, which would be an absurd task for Eternity to do; nevertheless, he finally uses it to bring his daughter Love back to life, demonstrating his immense power once more. There will definitely be more strong beings to emerge during the rest of the Multiverse Saga and beyond that will surpass Eternity as the most powerful character in the history of the MCU. One such event is the expected introduction of the all-powerful Beyonder, an almost unrivalled cosmic being, in Avengers: Secret Wars.
