Top 10 Most Powerful Marvel Characters
The Marvel Universe is packed with characters who can shatter planets, rewrite reality, and bend time itself. Some rely on sheer physical strength, others wield cosmic forces beyond comprehension, and a few exist on a level so far beyond the rest that they barely acknowledge lesser beings at all. With so many larger-than-life figures, it's not always easy to say who stands at the very top.This list is shaped by votes from fans like you, helping to determine which Marvel characters truly hold the most power. Some names are obvious, ruling over galaxies and entire dimensions. Others might surprise you, proving that raw strength isn't the only way to dominate. The multiverse is a vast and unpredictable place, and power can come in many forms.
He controls everything that goes on in the multiverse, other universes, and other dimensions. He is omnipotent and omniscient. He sent the Living Tribunal to help him watch over everything, who is like the third most powerful being. Need I say more?
Name says it all. The most powerful being allowed in the Marvel Universe.
He is the god of the Marvel Multiverse. How is he below Thanos and Galactus?!
Thanos is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55 and has been portrayed by actors Damion Poitier and Josh Brolin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This guy should be number one because he is also known as the most powerful being in the universe.
Galactus is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Formerly a mortal man, Galactus is a cosmic entity who originally consumed planets to sustain his life force, and serves a functional role in the upkeep of the primary Marvel continuity. Should be #2 in my opinion, not as strong as the One Above All, but definitely stronger than Thanos, even if Thanos had the Infinity Gauntlet. He can eat whole planets! Not only does he do that, but he is also called the Lifebringer, meaning he can create life. Devourer of Worlds and Lifebringer, not to mention the Power Cosmic. And if you have the Silver Surfer working for you, you know you're doing something right.
He swallows up planets and can control galaxies and the universe.
How the hell are Galactus and Thanos above the goddamn Beyonder, who is stated to be bigger than the entire Marvel universe itself? Beyonder should be in second place, next to the One Above All.
Beyonder can literally do anything with his strength. He controls all the planets, every action, and every move.
Thor Odinson is a fictional superhero appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, based on the Norse mythological deity of the same name, is the Asgardian god of thunder and possesses the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, which grants him the ability of flight and weather... read more Firstly, Thor Odinson is a god, and being a god, he should be powerful. He is the son of King Odin (as per his surname: Odinson). His Mjolnir and thunderous powers are just intolerable to most superheroes, except a few. Hulk could not manage to lift it. Besides, he is the God of Thunder.
Thor is super powerful. He was able to hold his own against Hulk himself.
He is immortal, stronger than anyone, and more powerful.
Odin Borson is a fictional character appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was the former King of Asgard, protector of the Nine Realms, father of Hela and Thor, the adoptive father of Loki, husband of Frigga, and was known as the "God of War and Wisdom". In... read more Odin is the father of the Thunder God, Thor. He once flicked Galactus away as if he were shooing away a bird. Let's not forget, he's the All-Father! I'm not saying he's better than Galactus, The One Above All, The Beyonder, The Living Tribunal, or The Phoenix Force. But he's surely better than the Silver Surfer and Dormammu. Not sure about Eternity. Tell me what you think in the comments below! The Hulk, his own son Thor, and not sure about Thanos either. Tell me in the comments below! Odin's definitely not number twelve, at least number ten. Hope you think so too!
The Silver Surfer is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Born Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer's abilities are given to him through the Power Cosmic. His first appearance was in Fantastic Four #48 in 1966 and was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He was... read more

Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange, best known under his alias Doctor Strange, is a fictional superhero created by artist Steve Ditko and writer Stan Lee appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Doctor Strange serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical... read more If this is classic Dr. Strange, then he should be #3. He was literally a threat to the Living Tribunal, and the Living Tribunal didn't even see the Infinity Gauntlet as a threat.
Deadpool is a fictional antihero created by Marvel who appears in their comics. Deadpool's first appearance was in New Mutants #98 by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza in February of 1991.

Didn't he survive the universe blowing up?
Can create pocket dimensions and made a powered-up Galactus his herald.
He literally created most of these characters! (Not Thor and Loki. He created the Marvel versions, not the original versions, though.)
He should be top 1! He controls all!
Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is portrayed by Elizabeth Olsen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She is thought to be one of the most powerful people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and can... read more How is she not number one? She was able to take down Thor without getting a scratch! And she could have destroyed Thanos if she hadn't been hit by an air force missile!
Are you joking, 22nd place? And behind Doctor Strange, who she clearly beats in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thanos, who is so scared of her that he has to set fire to his troops? Like, what is going on with the world?
Apocalypse, also known as En Sabah Nur, is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Beat and enslaved the Hulk. Most powerful mutant on Earth with class 100+ strength, and he even beat the Phoenix Force.
