TL;DR
Scarlet Witch
Scarlet Witch is often considered one of the most powerful Avengers due to her reality-warping abilities. She demonstrated immense power in the MCU, nearly defeating Thanos [3:2]. Her powers are described as "insane" and capable of rewriting reality
[5:1]
[5:9].
Thor
Thor consistently ranks high on power lists due to his god-like abilities and feats, especially when wielding Mjolnir or Stormbreaker. Some argue he should be above Captain Marvel based on his capabilities [3:1]
[3:4]. His prime form, such as during Ragnarok, showcases his true potential
[3:1].
Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange's mastery of magic and his ability to hold his own against Thanos with multiple Infinity Stones place him near the top [3:3]. While some debate his ranking, his strategic importance and magical prowess are undeniable
[3:2]
[3:9].
Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is noted for her impressive feats, particularly in "Endgame," where she showcased significant strength and resilience [3:1]. Her cosmic powers make her a formidable contender among the Avengers
[3:4].
Vision
Vision, equipped with the Mind Stone, possesses considerable power, including density manipulation and energy projection. He is often ranked high due to these abilities [2]
[5:10].
Hulk
While the MCU version of Hulk has been criticized for not showcasing his full potential, his raw physical strength still earns him a spot on the list [3:10]
[5:3]. Comic versions of Hulk would rank even higher due to their limitless rage-fueled strength
[3:6].
Iron Man
Iron Man's technological prowess and strategic mind make him impactful in battles, although his physical strength is reliant on his suit [5:7]. His role in key battles, like against Thanos, highlights his significance
[2].
Black Panther
Black Panther's enhanced abilities from the Heart-Shaped Herb, combined with his vibranium suit, make him a strong contender [2]. His agility and combat skills further enhance his effectiveness
[5:12].
Spider-Man
Spider-Man's agility, strength, and Spidey-sense contribute to his ranking. Despite being less experienced, his abilities allow him to compete with more seasoned heroes [3:8]
[5:2].
Captain America
Captain America, while not possessing superhuman powers, is known for his leadership and combat skills. His strategic mind and shield make him a valuable asset [2]
[5:4].

where is spider-man
Oh I forgot
Kinda feels like you're overpowering Hawkeye TBH.
With everyone at the strongest we’ve seen so far my top 10 is:
Hey I know this is an old thread but I'm just curious why you put Starlord on the top 10 when you're missing characters like War Machine, Winter Solider, Antman, Wasp, Wong, Valkyrie and possibly more.
This list is wild. I mean, number 1 and 2 spot is debatable in the MCU. In comics way different story for the whole list. In the MCU, Sentry could be #1 or Scarlet Witch could be #1. I do feel Thor in prime form should be above Captain Marvel. Doctor Strange should be right below Sentry at the very least at best, he rivals Scarlet Witch. Hulk is hard...personally he should be above Avenger Thor but below Ragnarok Thor. There is an argument to be made that he's below Captain Marvel. She has feats especially in Endgame that are way more impressive than "Dude-bod Thor" or Hulk. We never see Professor Hulk fight so he could be a much better fighter than Savage Hulk in terms of tactics and hand-to-hand combat (strength may just be lower in MCU). That being said Captain Marvel taking out warships seems to only be a feat we see out of Thor. If Hulk cared to jump that high or could fly he may be able to do the same. Either way we haven't seen how powerful or weak Professor Hulk really is. Shang Chi should be in the 10th spot. Vision should be 7th with mindstone and a vibranium body he's tough enough to body several of the Avengers on this list. 8th spot should be Valkaryie as she was trying the Hulk to fight and survived Hela while doing major damage to Thanos' forces. 9th spot should be Ironman and it's really just his tech and durability in the suit. Otherwise Shang Chi would be higher than him. With rings I would put Shang Chi over Ironman.
I think that you are glazing Dr. Strange a lot. I mean, he was a plot device in the entire series, he didn't actually beat anyone notable in a 1v1. 5th place is respectful, but I wouldn't be surprised if Shang-Chi can clap him.
Who did Scarlet Witch defeat until now that was actually very strong? She was about to defeat and maybe kill Thanos, but we don't really know how far would that have went. She is definitely second place in power if Sentry is as strong as expected, but the entire list is an assumption so ...
Thor deserves 3rd spot because he actually has a plot and has growth as a character, unlike Karol that has more power from a stone than Thanos while actually having the stone itself.
Saying that Valkyrie is stronger than Iron Man is an insult! Based on what? The way her horse wings flaps? Did she actually fight anyone? She shouldn't even be in the list! They added her only because they wanted another 'strong female character' in the top. Gamora has more feats by far.
Hulk is a joke after Ragnarok... like he is really not beating anything, or anyone. Nerf after nerf after nerf.
Vision is definitely above Hulk and Shang-Chi in their current iterations.
yeah I'd agree a lot more with this list than OP list but it's all subjective and dependant on circumstances... and the writers of course. But as a rule of thumb this is pretty close in my eyes. I think Captain Marvel is more powerful than Thor most of the time but Thor might have the capability to out-power her.
I find it funny you write about the disrespect Vision got on the original ranking where he was 8. And then you place it in 7.
I get the point but made me laugh.
Thor should probably be higher up there
I think Strange should be higher than Thor even
Frankly, I'd comfortably put Doctor Strange right below wanda. He was figthing toe to toe with thanos when he had a bunch of infinity stones.
But he also would get killed rather easily if taken by surpise by anyone on that list.
Such is the fate of wizards, I guess
Depends on if we count the comics too cuz then hulk would also be higher
Nah, Thor should be lower than Strange but with mcu’s writing, they’re perfect where they’re at. I would put sentry over Scarlett but that’s just me.
Spidey should be right after Hulk
I feel like people underrate Thor all the time while getting too starry eyed over Captain Marvel. Like I get it, she's strong. But I haven't seen anything from the MCU variants to think she's stronger than Thor.
MCU Hulk probably shouldn't be 6. Comic Hulk would probably be higher than 6, but MCU Hulk is not.
Spidy, black panthers, iron man, and cap are all stronger. Even Bucky and black widow arguably are stronger than her.
You can check out individual subreddit like r/Ironman , r/Thor , r/CaptainMarvel etc. if you want to discuss comics
r/Ironman in particular from what I have noticed is very comic focused
Literally. I've had to make peace with the fact that most Marvel fans are purely MCU based, and some even disregard the comics entirely.
Yeah. It’s been the clearest articulation yet that this is mostly an MCU sub now. Quite a bummer.
exactly
Nothing wrong with that. The MCU is god tier just like everything else marvel related
Bob is the strongest. Shang Chi and Valkyrie are not supposed to be on the list. And Spider-Man has more strength than Captain America even if Spidey isn't skilled as much as Cap, so he's also supposed to be on this list.
Cap isn't on the list and I'd argue that Walker might actually be stronger even if he was.
> Bob is the strongest
In front of a literal reality warper?
Edit: in case it wasn’t obvious, I’m referring to the MCU power sets of the MCU characters being discussed here
It's a bad list. Aside from the poor choices for who makes the list, "strongest" is a bad choice of words. Most powerful would've been at least a little more clear, strongest sounds like they're ranking physical strength.
But I assume these choices were all made to increase engagement as opposed to a fan genuinely expressing their thoughts
Bob can rewrite reality. He once made the Avengers forget that he was a founding member of the team.
>literal reality warper
Also Bob.
EDIT: The Sentry is just ridiculous in the comics. His mental issues and writers that don't know his history and powers are the only things that can stop him.
Neither does Stark. He's literally just a dude in a really strong mech.
He did a mad clutch play against Thanos so he's, let's say, "impactful". But in terms of feats of strength, he's not even in the top 50 in the MCU.
Without the void Bob isn’t the strongest and even with void scarlet witch powers are just insane
MCU Hulk I’d put at 10 for sure that dude doesn’t even fight anymore
Vision could wipe the floor with him.
It’s funny because officially, the ones on this list who technically were never Avengers are actually Dr. Strange and Valkyrie (Shang-Chi is kinda ambiguous, because he at least gets plugged into the post-Avengers network at the end of his movie)
From some quick research, it seems Shang Chi's Ten Rings places him just above the upper range of human heroes, (Black Panther, Iron Man, etc) beating out Cap and Spider-Man. I dont recall scenes from the movie too well, but the rings did seem to be pretty formidable in combat. I remember his dad handled a medieval chinese army with ease.
I dont know much about Valkyrie, but given that she was a...uh..valkyrie, I'd assume she's not far under Thor with similar powers.

Agatha Harkness should be next
Hela
Jesus this list is off to a rocky start with whats his face from jessica jones, killmonger and the high evolutionary. This makes me not even wanna see the rest of theblist xD we gonna put whiplash and lebowski up here as well at this rate? Malekith? xD
Gets no diffed by surtur, hela, strange, thor
but he withstood a moon shattering shot
red guy was meant to be red skull
hey
I’d probably swap Hela with Captain Marvel, but this is a really great list! Poor Happy Hogan :(
Cap more powerful than Vision and STRANGE?
List is so bad but at least they got the top 3 right
God that list is a mess
Yaaa.. the whole power ranking argument it hard in the MCU since it’s so inconsistent, but this is just garbage.
Curious too see peoples power rankings following endgame. Even though we didn’t get to see too much from characters besides Tony, Cap and Thor here’s how I would rank it. Thoughts?
*Edit: Should have added that these rankings are purely based off what I saw in Endgame. I know a full power Thor is above a full power Cap, but based on this movie I would rank Cap above Thor.
Just because of the Hammer, Cap is up on Thor level. Iron Man’s suit can do pretty much everything now. Scarlett Witch damn bear took Thanos on her ones. Cap Marvel the same.
....
the rest
It’s a disgrace what’s happened to Hulk. What a waste but oh well.
Edit: oh, if only based on this film, take strange out. He didn’t do much if anything.
Strange needed to be up there too, we didn't get to see much of him, but he helped bring everyone to the battle and held off the food like a mystical Moses.
I agree, I just couldn’t put him up there purely because we didn’t see much of him at all
Hulk fans got screwed over.
Big time
Cap is way too high
Going purely based on this movie
My list, out of the characters on your list, goes like this
Scarlet Witch
Doctor Strange(I’m counting what he did in IW, since it’s not like he got any weaker)
Iron Man
Captain Marvel
Thor
Captain America
Hulk
Spider-Man
Ant-Man
Black Panther
War Machine
Ronin
Starlord
Captain Marvel’s feats aren’t really as impressive as some of these other characters. I mean, she destroyed a ship and made Thanos use one stone but that’s it. He had to use the stones a few times back in IW, so like I said, not a major feat.
Thor’s also only as low as he is because of how out of shape he is in this movie, if we went with IW Thor he’d probably be 1 or 2.
