Top 10 Strongest Marvel Comics Superheroes

When it comes to strength in the Marvel Universe, there's no shortage of heroes who can lift impossible weights, survive the most brutal battles, and overcome enemies that threaten all of existence. But strength isn't just about raw muscle. It can come from unbreakable willpower, unmatched intellect, or a mix of both. This list focuses on those characters in Marvel Comics who rise above the rest through physical power, combat skill, and the ability to change the course of even the most intense conflicts.

You get to decide who truly deserves the top spots. Vote for the characters you believe have proven themselves through their feats, victories, and overwhelming force. Others have already made their picks, and now it's your turn to help shape the ranking of the strongest Marvel superheroes.

1. Hulk

   

   Robert Bruce Banner, also known as The Hulk or Bruce Banner, is a fictional superhero in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was co-created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. In live-action films, he was portrayed by Eric Bana, and in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he's... read more

   Iron Man is my favorite, but Hulk is indisputably the strongest hero in the Marvel universe. I think he could beat down anyone because his strength increases depending on how angry he is. If you get him mad enough, he cannot be beaten.

   He defeated the entire Marvel universe in World War Hulk. He could even get strong enough to defeat the massively overpowered Superman because he defeated Sentry, who is essentially Marvel's version of Superman. He can also survive in space, underwater, and even on the surface of the sun. Mainly because he can regenerate himself, even when he loses his skin and gets his arms torn off. Bottom line, Hulk is the strongest there is.

2. Thor

   

   Thor Odinson is a fictional superhero appearing in 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 manipulation... read more

   Thor is my second favorite superhero, and Hulk is my first. Thor is very powerful because he can create attacks that are 1,000 times hotter than the sun. He can cause an area to collapse and shift the planet out of orbit. He can lift the Midgard Serpent, which is said to weigh between 3.3-6.6 sextillion tons. He has struck a hole in Exitar the Exterminator's (a Celestial) armor, with the force of the blow felt throughout the entire planet.

   Thor has broken out of chains made to withstand the strength of 10 giants and has even broken out of Adamantium coils very easily. He has knocked out Abomination with one punch and can survive being crushed by the weight of 20 planets.

3. Spider-Man

   

   Spider-Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, set within its shared universe. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko and first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962) during the... read more

   The whole package for a superhero who has it all. He can beat anybody, especially due to his intelligence, which is an important factor people forget about. He may not be stronger on the power scale than others, but that doesn't mean he can't beat them. A lot of casuals don't realize that he is almost always holding back.

   Spider-Man is by far the strongest. He beat Hulk in the comics, along with most of the Avengers. I think there was even one comic where he fought them all at once and won.

4. Wolverine

   

   Wolverine is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly associated with the X-Men. His powers and abilities include an accelerated healing factor, enhanced senses, and his signature adamantium claws and skeleton.... read more

   You're telling me that a guy with an indestructible body is number five?! Not to mention he has Adamantium claws?

   Wolverine will cut Spider-Man into a million pieces!

   Yes, that is all true. He survived a nuclear explosion, was ripped in half and put himself back together, was shot in the head, and had his adamantium ripped out of him by Magneto.

5. Iron Man

   

   Iron Man is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer and editor Stan Lee, developed by scripter Larry Lieber, and designed by artists Don Heck and Jack Kirby. Iron Man first appeared in Tales of Suspense #39 in 1963.... read more

   Iron Man can lift up to 50,000 tons. That's 100,000,000 pounds. Depending on what version of Iron Man, even without his suit on he can lift more than 20 tons via the modified Extremis virus.

   Most powerful superhero. Full of powers and intelligence to break the enemies apart.

   Iron Man is stronger because of his mind. He has a brain, the most powerful weapon.

6. Silver Surfer

   

   The Silver Surfer is a fictional superhero featured in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Born Norrin Radd, he gained his powers from Galactus and became the Silver Surfer through the Power Cosmic.

9. Red Hulk

   

10. Sentry

    

    And you thought Thanos having the power to instantly kill half the universe was cool... Although the snap was stylish...

    This list is really wrong. Can anyone tell me how Hulk is stronger than Sentry? Hulk can lift Manhattan, but Sentry can lift a full planet.

    Scarlet Witch can bend reality and almost beat Thanos!

    She can simply bend reality! Do you know what that means?! She can do anything! She can turn Hulk into a purple chimpanzee with a condom on his head just by thinking about it. Yes, you can lift a mountain, but that's nothing if you can create a pocket dimension where there are no mountains.
