The Most Powerful Marvel Characters (20 pics)

1
Mar-Vell
The original Captain Marvel, among his many abilities were cosmic awareness, energy absorption, and energy manipulation. But, he wasn't immortal, like a lot other characters here.

Captain Marvel
Equally as powerful as the original and still, you know, alive.

3

Cosmic Ghost Rider
He’s a combination of Ghost Rider and the Punisher. And he’s immortal.

4

Adam Warlock
Adam Warlock has tons of classic superhero powers but his biggest strength is something called soul immunity, which protects him (and his soul, kind of important) from any magic-based attack.

5

The Stranger
Sometimes hero, sometimes villain, the Stranger is from the Infinity Gauntlet storyline (must read for comic book fans) and is more powerful than Mephisto, Dormammu, Odin, and Zeus.

6

Galactus
The Devourer of Worlds. Yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like. And Silver Surfer was basically his employee, acting as a Herald.

7

Oblivion
Oblivion oversees those who die by time paradoxes and other unnatural means. It has incalculable cosmic energy and the ability to manifest anything it wishes. It’s main weakness is being dependent upon avatars.

8

Thanos
Big. Purple. Bastard.

9

Celestials
The Celestials are ancient beings whose combined force is practically unstoppable. They’re responsible for many of Earth’s superheroes, having manufactured the X-Gene (as in X-men) and also made it possible for humans to transform through Gamma Radiation, ala the Hulk.

10

Knull
This guy is a bit newer to the scene but boy does he cut a striking figure. Knull can manifest and control armies, which he calls his Living Abyss. He also shape-shifts, teleports, and has immeasurable strength and cosmic energy. And he created the Klyntar, which are the symbiotes responsible for Venom.

11

Phoenix Force
The Phoenix Force is an ancient, abstract entity with unlimited power and is capable of demolishing the entire universe and rebuilding it. Jean Grey proved to be the perfect host for it.

12

Tie: Lord Chaos/Master Order
Sort of a yin and yang situation (no, it’s not “ying”). When they are apart, they possess near-infinite cosmic power. And when they’re together, they are capable of defeating some of the most powerful entities in all the Marvel Universe. Their only weakness is that they cannot exist without each other.

13

Tie: Eternity/Infinity/Abraxas
Eternity and Infinity are siblings, and all three have unlimited power, capable of changing space-time, manipulating matter, and harnessing endless cosmic energy.

14

Living Tribunal
The Living Tribunal is considered to be the embodiment of the entire multiverse. Basically a cosmic mediator for the whole multiverse.

15

The Beyonder
So the Multiverse means there are duplicate versions of beings in different universes, but not The Beyonder. It's capable of manipulating reality to its will and took over Earth with a single thought.

16

Death
Death. You’ve heard of it, right? She’s responsible for leading Thanos down his path towards the Infinity Gauntlet and is invincible AND has the ability to manipulate matter.

17

One-Above-All
Basically the God of the Marvel universe. It created all life, is omnipotent and is capable of rendering the universe's matter into whichever way it deems necessary.

18

Protege
Protege has more raw potential than all else. It defeated the Living Tribunal and it has been said that all realities rest on the shoulders of Protege.
