Since forever, there has been the debate of who is the strongest Marvel hero or villain. Fans love to wonder about it, although in reality, some of the most powerful characters are not necessarily good or bad. And it is that the Marvel Universe of Comics is a place full of strange mythologies, beings that look like gods and frankly extravagant entities. But don't worry, we browse thousands of comics to bring you to Marvel's most powerful characters.
There are neighborhood heroes, like Daredevil, city heroes like Spider-Man and, later, gods, interdimensional travelers and entities that not only control the universe, but all at once, since in Marvel the Multiverse actually exists.
That's why too, in Marvel mythology there are characters whose power is frankly unimaginable. We are talking about the fact that they literally introduce beings that have created that multiverse or will destroy it, as well as others that are incarnations of concepts such as Death or Eternity.
Let's see what Daredevil and his staff can do against that...
And within those most powerful Marvel characters, we bring you the 10 most powerful.
The problem with making a list of the most powerful Marvel characters
The difficulty of deciding who are the most powerful characters in Marvel was already commented on by Stan Lee himself, when he made it clear that one character is more or less powerful than another. according to the convenience of the writer of the story.
And it is common for more than one writer to land in a comic or get excited and suddenly present the most powerful character to date.
This has caused an escalation of power in some heroes, villains and entities, which makes it virtually impossible to clearly define who is more powerful who. Especially when we're talking about these characters already creating and destroying entire universes at will.
However, we have wet ourselves to bring you the top ten of Marvel's most powerful characters and, moreover, ordered by strength.
It is possible that, if you are a casual fan of the comic book franchise, you will find two absences that you might have expected to see, but no, neither Thanos nor Galactus are so impressive after so many years of writers coming out of the pot with the theme powers.
So we started with a character who was born as the most powerful, but he went down the ranks over time.
10.The Beyonder
With unlimited powers in his first incarnation, the Beyonder was the most powerful Marvel character at the time. However, over time, the mythology has grown and the need to create ever more powerful enemies and heroes has relegated it to more backward positions.
Especially, after a certain reboot of the character, Beyonder became much weaker, because we are talking about, at the beginning, he was basically on the podium of the three most powerful beings.
Because of that glorious past, he deserves to be in this top 10 of Marvel's strongest characters.
9. The Molecule Man
A character who has the ability to destroy everything and is actually a reality bomb has to be here.
With the power of the Beyonders, Owen Reese is undoubtedly in the top ten of Marvel's most powerful beings.
8. God Emperor Doom
La most powerful incarnation of Doctor Doom he is a fearsome villain above all others.
Thanos is easily defeated (up there you have it), he beats Black Panther while he is wearing the Infinity Gauntlet or turns Galactus into little more than a toy for Franklin Richards (a character we'll talk about next).
So yes, as an evil Marvel, God Emperor Doom has few, if any, rivals in fact.
7.Franklin Richards
El son of Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic) and Sue Storm (The Invisible Woman) He is the most powerful mutant, transcending the Omega level and whose abilities allow him to alter reality to cosmic levels, or even create pocket universes.
Being still a child, the evolution of said powers is not clear, but suffice it to say that he charged two Celestials in combat, so he deserves this position.
6. Old King Thor Phoenix
La most powerful incarnation of ThorI would probably have to go here. Because yes, there is a future Thor who gather the phoenix force (of which we will now speak) next to the odinforce his father's.
In short, such a Thor doped who becomes not only the most powerful Marvel hero along with Franklin Richards, but also one of the most powerful beings in the Multiverse.
5. Cosmic forces
Marvel also turns super-powered cosmic forces into characters, being the best known the Phoenix Force.
This is an omnipresent and almost all-powerful energy, feeding on and embodying the feelings of passion and life of the Multiverse. These forces can possess hosts granting them greater power, depending on who the recipient is. If he is Thor, as we have seen, there is little that he cannot do.
4. Eternity (along with Oblivion, Death and Infinity)
eternity is the personification of the Marvel Universe. Obviously, here we are already with entities that transcend any attempt to rationalize or measure their power.
That is why Eternity keeps the Olympic diploma, shared with three other cosmic concepts embodied in Marvel characters: Death, Oblivion and Infinity.
Who is more powerful than whom in these four? Again we have stories and plots for all tastes as used by the writers. Some say that Death (the crush of Thanos) is more powerful, others that Oblivion is because its existence is prior to the Multiverse.
Your bet is as good as any other.
3. The Infinites
These strange and unknown beings are not to be confused with the previous Infinite, one of the paramount concepts made into character in the Marvel Universe.
Found by the Avengers and Eternity, when The Infinites planned to destroy and rearrange the planets and stars of the Milky Way (to make the flow of energy in the universe and multiverse more efficient), it is said that transcend into Eternity itself, so, by definition or by the writer's oversight, they are more powerful than her and they take the bronze medal.
2. The Living Court
This entity is the in charge of maintaining balance in the Multiverse. She is the watchman and guardian of him, responding only to a single being above him.
Be that as it may, The Living Tribunal has always been a being incapable of being affected or defeated by heroes or villains, although sometimes one has stayed close.
1. The One Above Everything (and The One Below Everything)
Who can be more powerful than literally the supreme god of the multiverse and essential embodiment of Good and Love?
Well, at most, its dark side, The One Below It All, which is destruction, just as its kind face is creation.
These two beings are simply, endlessBecause if you start drawing the God of everything, it is difficult for someone to be more powerful.
Therefore, these two entities are The most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe, since, as the name indicates, they have absolutely no one above.
As you can see, many of the most powerful characters are not necessarily good or bad, heroes or villains, but fundamental concepts of a universe (rather, of many universes), which would be inconceivable and beyond any ridiculous power granted by gamma rays. or radioactive spiders.
