Why Captain Marvel Is NOT The Most Powerful Avenger In The MCU

So Captain Marvel is the strongest Avenger, right? WRONG! Sure, we’ve been told by the powers that be that the first female superhero to lead her own film is the mightiest of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios even said it himself before Captain Marvel was released in early 2019, that Carol Danvers is the strongest being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. That’s a tall order considering the Avengers have faced creatures of various sizes, from various planets, with incredible and formidable abilities. Still, if the head honcho of the MCU makes a bold statement about one hero being stronger than the others, we here at ScreenRant take heed. And so, we’ve listened to Feige’s words and scoured the internet ourselves to give a rebuttal of sorts. Here’s why Captain Marvel is NOT the most powerful Avenger in the MCU… At least, not yet.

Whether the Phoenix and the Silver Surfer of the comics can challenge her for the title of the universe’s most kickass being, or the god of thunder himself can pose a threat to the claim that Carol Danvers is the biggest and baddest figure in the Marvel universe - this video will give you what you need to know to make your own informed decisions about the most powerful figures around. Join ScreenRant as we compare the skill sets of Captain Marvel, Thor and other characters populating the MCU. We’ll decide who really is the fastest, strongest and most invulnerable. And, hey, we’re not just making this all up - much of this info comes from the vaults of Marvel Comics. And if you think we’re missing any essential details about your favorite characters, let us know in the comments section!

After what we've seen in Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, should Carol Danvers really be considered the most powerful hero in the MCU?

[sammeyer]

captain marvel: i am the strongest hero

doctor strange: i have come to bargain

[KultureShock]

I like Scarlett witch better than captain marvel... I went crazy when she got ahold of thanos

[Brook]

Scarlet Witch for sure had the upper hand on Thanos with her telekentic powers and she could have ripped Thanos in half until Thanos said to fire at everyone, his own soldiers. She definitely could go one on one against Thanos.

[RizLazey]

Captain Marvel: look i single handedly destroy Thanos Ship
Scarlet Witch: haha thats cute i destroy an infinity stone bare handed and break Thanos Sword
Thor: lol, i literally overpower all 6 infinity Stones and almost killed Thanos ya know??

MVP of the Game: Thor and Scarlet Witch

[AssassinsFear]

I think Wanda is the best example of real girl power, she's so goddamn powerful but doesn't boast it to anyone like a prick. She's just a badass

[TRHOUSPARTY]

SCARLETT WITCH WAS SQUEEZING THANOS INSIDE OF HIS ARMOR 🤷🏽‍♂️ THANOS WAS CRYING lol

[nguyenhuong]

Stan Lee is the most powerful character in the MCU

[michaeldiaz]

My big 3 are Thor, Dr. Strange and Wanda.

[waduhek]

Drax is already invisible he can trick captain marvel

[donaldkeller]

"She's one of the most popular characters in the comics..." Literally no she is not. Her comics were rebooted 5x since 2000 because of how unpopular they are.

Carol : I’m the strongest avenger.



Strange, Wanda, and Thor : that’s cute.

[sudhanandabiswas]

Thor inherited Odin force. According to infinity war way more powerful than Carol. Even Dr. Strange And Wanda are also upper power label than Carol. In my opinion, Thor > Dr. Strange > Wanda > Captain Marvel is the right format according to their power label.

[batshineman]

Sorry Screen Rant but Captain Marvel is NOT relatable at all. Carol Danvers has no personality nor does she gain one, by the end of the film I honestly felt like I didn't know her any better than I did at the beginning.

[DevinMichaelsMusic]

So.. were forgetting when Wanda destroyed a stone with on hand... while holding back thanos at the same time... WHILE he used all 5 stones on her...ALSO almost ripping in to shreds with ease....and were also forgetting when marvel got KO'd with 1 stone and never got up?

[jeraldvincentzumel]

Dr. Strange went toe to toe with a 4-stone Thanos without even using the Time stone. Just saying...

[ammareiji]

Captain marvel: I'm the most powerful avenger

Thor, doc strange & wanda: *chuckles*

[TRHOUSPARTY]

"YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME"
"I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU"
*"YOU WILL"*
SAVAGE

[georgeetboom]

Thor is, when questioned who would win between hulk and thor, stan lee said "well thor is a god" you know, HES A GOD

[Thatguy-ndfn]

Exact reaction in theatres:
Infinity Wars : Thor enters battlefield with Stormbreaker, whole crowd was up on their seat and cheering.

Endgame : cm enters battlefield, oh ok.
