50 of the Most Powerful Marvel Characters Ranked

From past to present; top 50!

There is no one who does not know about Marvel, which has its roots in 'Timely Comics' founded in 1939 and changed its name to 'Marvel Comics' in 1961, living its golden age since the '60s and still has an enormous audience on the big screen today. However, apart from the big screen, the comics, the real face of Marvel, are a completely different universe. And here are the 50 most powerful characters of the Marvel comics universe, whose foundation dates back to 1961!

50- Champion

Champion is one of the Elder characters that we can call ancient in the Marvel universe. A formidable combat skill, Champion travels galaxies and planets one by one, seeking and challenging opponents of his own. In return, he will give Power Gem to the one who defeats him. There's no one in the Marvel universe that Champion can't challenge and defeat. He does not use any equipment (sword, ax, etc.) while fighting. For this reason, Thor, who used his hammer while fighting with him, was disqualified from the fight.

49- Hyperion

Hyperion (Mark Milton) is the last surviving member of the Eternals, the most powerful race in the Marvel universe. Being a member of the Eternals race gives him tremendous cosmic power. Things like super speed, telepathy, maximum stamina are just some of his features. In the Marvel universe, the galaxy he lives in is called Earh-616. Hyperion is from a different galaxy called Earth-712. For this reason, it does not appear together with the Marvel characters we are more familiar with. Once upon a time, a war in his own galaxy dragged him into the world, and he got help from the Avengers to come back and win the war.

48- Onslaught

Onslaught is a character that appears in the X-Men universe. Unable to endure Megneto's evils any longer, Professor X gathers all his strength and decides to take control of Magneto's mind. However, the pure evil and greed in Megneto's mind affects Professor X's subconscious and Professor X can no longer control the evil that he has suppressed over the years. As a result, Onslaught takes on Professor X, just like Jean Grey's villain Phoenix. Consider Professor X's powers at their peak and combined with Magneto's evil.

47- Ghost Rider

The aim of the demon Mephisto, who wants to be invincible, is to possess the ancient power called the Spirit of Vengeance. However, if he contains this power within himself, the power will destroy him, so he looks for someone who can carry this power and remain loyal to him. Meanwhile, Johnny Blaze, whose father has cancer, makes a deal with Mephisto in exchange for his father's life. According to the deal, Mephisto will save Johnny's father from cancer, and in return, Johnny's soul will be his. Mephisto saves Johnny's father from cancer, but his curses and his father, who was performing with his motorcycle in a circus, dies in an accident. On top of that, he gives Johnny the Spirit of Vengeance power that he has the Mephisto spirit and Johnny transforms into Ghost Rider. However, Ghost Rider defies Mephisto, using his power against him and evil. Ghost Rider is immortal, has an incredibly fast healing power and energy level. The limit of his power is unknown.

Wendell Vaughn was an agent for SHIELD. His mission was to protect the cosmic energy-bearing things called Quantum Bands, on which scientists were studying. Vaughn, who volunteered when it came to finding a pilot to carry these tapes, had to use the tapes when he was attacked by AIM. Thus, he gained an unlimited cosmic energy power. Introducing himself as Marvel Boy at first, Vaughn later took the name Quasar. As a member of the Avengers, Quasar can control unlimited cosmic energy and material vacuum.

45- Hercules

Hercules (Hercules), the son of Zeus, the god of gods, is a demigod and has superhuman powers. He is so powerful that he has occasionally taken on Thor and the Hulk. Hercules helped the Avengers many times and became a member of the Avengers, albeit for a short time.

43- Franklin Richards

Reed and Susan Richards, members of the Fantastic Four, alias Mr. The son of Fantastic(Mr. Fantastic) and Invincible Woman- Franklin is one of the few mutants to reach omega level. He is also the most powerful mutant ever (Yes, he is stronger than Apocalypse as a mutant level). He has the power to bend and manipulate reality and time. However, he never has 100% control over his powers. Therefore, it remains below its potential. In some comics, he is said to have the same strength as the sacred Celestials.

42- Doctor Strange

Stephen Strange, a very successful and wealthy surgeon, is seriously injured in his hands as a result of an accident. Strange, whose career as a surgeon ended for this reason, spends all his wealth with great anger and is completely cut off from life. Around that time, he learns of the existence of someone called the Ancient One. He starts looking for her in hopes of straightening his hands and eventually finds her. However, the Ancient One offers to teach Strange mysticism and sorcery instead of curing him. Not wanting this at first, Dr. Strange is then convinced and studies for years. Eventually, he becomes the most powerful mage living on earth. Apart from all his witchcraft properties, Dr. Strange also has unique powers such as flying, teleporting, and the ability to travel through time and between dimensions.

Every time Banner can't contain his anger, he turns into a green giant; Hulk! Hulk's power has no limits. As he gets angry, his power increases. It is unlimited. When it reaches a certain anger, it begins to emit gamma rays around it and grows a little larger in size. He has been a member of the Avengers for a long time.

Robert Reynold, who is a drug addict, finds this serum bottle and drinks it in the laboratory he enters to find something to meet his drug needs. Having gained a power whose explosion energy is worth millions of suns, Robert begins to help people as a Sentry. However, he also contains his repressed personality, the Void.

It is not easy to stop the character we will see in X-Men: Apocalypse.

32- Thanos

Thanos is a mutant titan. Incredibly powerful even in his normal state, Thanos gains such immense power when he captures the Infinity Gauntlet, which contains infinity stones, that he can destroy the Silver Surfer in just a few moves.

Dormammu, who somehow dominates the Dark Dimension when he returns, wants to include other galaxies here. Because he is a mystical being, only Dr. Strange can stop, but he cannot defeat Dormammu alone. Many heroes are Dr. Only Dormammu will be defeated with the help of Strange.

18- Deadpool

It's hard to decide whether Deadpool's best skill is his sniping or his ability to speak in any situation. But the self-healing ability taken from Wolverine is much stronger in this man. His body is progressing with a system that regenerates and destroys his cancer, so he is a little out of balance... Ah, before we pity him, let's not forget to mention that he is a good ninjitsu master.

It's weird that he even said he died 3 times before. But there is something strange here, Deadpool, who bonded with Death, whom Thanos was in love with, suffered the wrath of Thanos and cursed him, always bringing him back from the dead... So, this man is seriously immortal. We have a sick man whose skin does not heal, who does not get sick, who loses his mind every time he dies. Do you still find it weird that he broke the 4th wall and talked to the reader?

Reminiscent of Hulusi Kentmen, this friend is an ancient being who gathered the powers and intelligence of all living things on Gigantus, the planet he once lived on, and then remained alone in the universe when the planet was destroyed.

Oblivion is a cosmic abstraction. The power level is close to Eternity. He is the master of the outer void called the Outer Void, where there is no matter or energy, and he himself is made up of this void.

10- Phoenix Force

The destructive cosmic energy can destroy universes and galaxies at once, and dwells in the universe even when there is no life. It would not be wrong to say that the most feared cosmic energy from the Marvel universe. The Phoenix Force cannot be destroyed because it is a cosmic energy that exists for the life of the universe. He constantly chooses victims to get inside them. (as Jean Grey, Hope Summers)
