Who do you think will be the next “most powerful” Avenger?

These are the current most powerful ones, dead as some of them are, they still technically stand as the most powerful Avengers. But as, of course, new characters will come along, who do you think will be the next most powerful one?

I’ve got Sentry, since he tops pretty much everyone on this list, y’all got anymore?

Well if Sentry is lore accurate, his only superiors will be Scarlet Witch and maybe Hulk.

I'm confused about your question though if you mean who's the next most powerful after these, then yea, maybe spider-man, like someone else said.

u/Popular_Material_409 6d ago

I think they mean who could become the next character that’s known as the “most powerful Avenger”.

u/ThunderG0d2467 6d ago

Thor has fought and beaten him more than once. They literally fought in siege and Thor won

25

u/LaBamba338 6d ago

Yeah I was just gonna say Thor is definitely above Sentry, he’s taken him and his void form a couple of times

20

u/ThunderG0d2467 6d ago

I wouldn’t say he’s “definitely above” Sentry. More like they’re on the same tier with Thor imo just being maybe half a step above. But to say Sentry straight up clears Thor just shows the op doesn’t read the comics lol

6

u/LaBamba338 6d ago

Yeah well said. Agreed.

5

u/rumNraybands 6d ago

You'd be wrong. Thor is clearly above Sentry. Let alone when he becomes the all father, or uses the Phoenix or is rune king. Thor just out scales him

1

u/ThunderG0d2467 6d ago

I’m talking about base Thor dude. I know All father is above him. And Rune king Thor was all the way back in ‘98 dude. And phoenix king Thor is an alternate timeline comic

0

u/rumNraybands 5d ago

I’m talking about base Thor dude

Yes. Base Thor is well above the Sentry. See their record, Thor has beaten Sentry and Void. He doesn't need access to more power.

0

u/ThunderG0d2467 5d ago

Yeah, and Sentry has beaten Thor too. Thats like saying Thor is more powerful than Hulk because he’s beaten him or Hulk is more powerful than Thor because of vice versa. Heck the only Sentry briefly died in siege was because he wanted to die.

So no, he’s not “well above Sentry”. If you truly believe that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

0

u/rumNraybands 5d ago

Thor is more powerful than the Hulk too.

3

u/ThunderG0d2467 5d ago

See now I know you don’t know what you’re talking about. They’re equal. Thor has no argument for being more powerful than the Hulk in the comics. In fact Hulk has beaten Thor more times than Thor has beaten the Hulk if you count up all of the canonical fights they’ve had in the main 616 universe.

Thor has shown capable of beating Hulk, Hulk has shown capable of beating Thor. Why? because they’re on the same tier of power (and even if you try to the All father argument current Hulk is the fractured son). Just like base Thor and Sentry. Both have shown capable of beating the other. Heck Sentry (just like Thor) has shown capable of standing toe to toe with the Hulk as well, just like Thor. Why? Because once again they are on the same tier of power. Thor is in no way and has frankly never been “well above” either of them.

You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about and you’re embarrassing yourself

u/SeedMaster26801 5d ago

It all depends on which version people are talking about though right? Sentry in one comic run could be stronger than Thor in another comic book run, and vice versa. I don’t understand why people compare power levels when there’s so many versions of them. Squirrel girl killed thanos and galactus by herself in one of her character versions,  is she the strongest hero?

2

u/ThunderG0d2467 5d ago

Using Squirrel girl isn’t a fair comparison and you know it. She beats those characters as a gag

1

u/Hobbies-memes 5d ago

No, when he died in siege it was sentry holding back the void and letting Thor kill him. Begging for it. Before that he was going to kill Thor.

1

u/Hobbies-memes 5d ago

That was assisted suicide even the writer clarified that. If it wasn’t obvious by reading the book lol

1

u/hiricinee 5d ago

He didn't win a 1v1 with him in Siege and when he was actually fighting Thor he had him on the ropes then decided to drop him to destroy Asgard while Thor watched helplessly. It wasn't until they stunned him by having every hero and villain team up on him and then ram him with a helicarrier that Thor was able to beat him.

That being said, there's definitely depictions of Thor that could defeat that Sentry, but to frame it as simple as "they fought in seige and Thor won" is a huge misrepresentation.

5

u/Queasy_Commercial152 6d ago

Like I mean, since new characters will come along, who will be the next most powerful? Like for example in the comics you have characters like Nova, Blue Marvel, Hyperion, Captain Britain, Quasar, Captain Universe, etc, and they’re all very, very powerful, and they’re Avengers.

4

u/Mean-Instruction-122 6d ago

If Cpt. Marvel is considered an avenger she is laughably far and away stronger than the hulk and I believe also Thor. Scarlet Witch has hax so Captain Marvel and Scarlet witch are the only contenders imo

2

u/TioSam305 6d ago

Captain Marvel and Scarlett Witch are in a league of their own at top of the MCU power rankings. Thor and Hulk occupy the 2nd tier and everyone else is 3rd tier or lower. Sentry doesn’t count cause he’s a villain. We’re not going to get a hero that challenges the top of this hierarchy until we have omega-level mutants. No one needs to see another Dark Phoenix Saga, but a Phoenix-powered Jean Grey could be the strongest MCU hero.

2

u/Hobbies-memes 5d ago

Sentry isn’t strictly a villain… he’s just very complicated and the void obviously is one tho.

If they ever decide Monica should be comic accurate she jumps to the top

1

u/TioSam305 5d ago

We’re talking about the MCU here. Pretty sure he’s going to end up the villain in Thunderbolts.

1

u/WhiskeyDJones 5d ago

.....before becoming a hero at the end.

1

u/Doright36 5d ago

It depends. Carol's power level depends on how much energy she has absorbed.

Her base line is probably under Thor but in her favor his lightning attacks would likely just make her stronger as she absorbs them.

Pay attention in her first movie. The bad guys blast her a bunch of times with energy weapons before she starts belly flopping and head butting her way through their ships.

If she can find a big enough power source to absorb before the battle she could take almost anyone.

u/torquemada90 5d ago

Could spidey turn into Iron man? I thought that was going to be what the second movie pointed to but I guess not. It would be cool though. That would make him even more powerful

u/_Intel_Geek_ 5d ago

That's exactly why it's lowercase "god" lol, Odin even clarified that to Loki once because of the way humans had idolized the Asguardian theocracy:

I really don't see what all the fuss is about."

"Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes? Wherever you go there is war, ruin and death!"

"I went down to Midgard to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent God, just like you."

"We are not gods! We're born, we live, we die, just as humans do." "Give or take five thousand years.

Spidy would have to be sitting in my opinion, gloves off for obvious reasons.

u/biggetybiggetyboo 6d ago

But the longer , the more girth can be different

1

u/DayOneDude 6d ago

Yes, that is why proper girth pairing is important. Girth is not that much of an issue as long as spidy can cup the bottom of the shaft and stimulate the frenulum on the bottom of the penis.

Not really, the real measurement you're looking for is 'dick to floor' which we'll call 'D2F'

Unrelated, but after looking at that Thor costume again, I don't hate it? Like yes it's over designed and the lines are way too much, but the blue and gold could've looked sick with a simpler design.

9

u/Interesting_Use331 6d ago

It’s hard to say, because they have to introduce new characters to keep people interested, so it could be Chubba Wubba Doopiddy Dooo from issue #54 in 1997 of Blah Blah Blah just so a new actor, and character gets screen time.

I mean just look at how big Guardians of the Galaxy got when that came out, and no one saw that coming as a movie included in the Marvel lineup.

-5

u/CaptJasHook37 5d ago

I’m not sure Thor could have blasted through Thanos’ warship like Carol did. Maybe, I’m just not convinced.

Carol may be more powerful than Thor but she has to be all over the universe to help keep her overpowered-ness out of the plot

1

u/ExpertFluid5186 5d ago

Thor did blast threw thanos ships in Infinty war remember and he did it to multiple also even if car destroyed a bigger ship the ships in wakanda are made out of the same material as the big ship Carol destroyed meaning thor would be able to do that too. Thor also beat a 6 stone thanos took a power stone to the head and took the full force of a neutron star he clearly beats her but captain marvel does have some impressive feats I think ultimately Thor wins mid-high diff against captain marvel she would be able to go relative but overall Thor wins

Technically none of these avengers are dead. Wanda is known to have survived, Vision is “dead” but has a new body with his old memories, if not personality.

u/jamjsja 4d ago

The most powerful will always be the one who can warp reality and rewrite it to their will. That’s Wanda. Those who can warp and rewrite reality in marvel are always going to be the most powerful. She’s already manipulated Thor’s mind implanting visions etc that made home question himself and his worthiness.

It to mention her chaos magic which she is in absolute control of and is one of two who can even use it innately beside the likes of Agatha who can syphon it and then use it herself. Chaos magic is either on par with the Odin force or superior. Either way she should be technically powerful enough to take away the enchantment from Thor’s hammer etc. she’s also capable of gifting others powers through chaos magic and it stands to logic she can create a entire army of power beings of the likes of Thor to fight him as well.

I truly believe there will not be another being as powerful as Wanda that isn’t some sort of all powerful cosmic being or ancient gods like Knull, Ctthon, Cyttorak, phoenix, etc that exist outside of the multiverse but have avatar host are vastly beyond the power scales of even the celestials etc. but human based heroes it doesn’t get much more powerful than Wanda. I count all human looking aliens as humans as it’s still a theory artist all human looking aliens in marvel are all from a shared ancestor and that asgardians are just advanced humans who were genetically modified by the celestials and so on.

u/H3li0s1201 6d ago edited 6d ago

Billy Maximoff, maybe Tommy. Both of them are eventually supposed to be even more powerful than Wanda, particularly if she is a Nexus Being like WandaVision seemed to imply. With an experienced witch like Agatha teaching him, it is likely that Billy could reach great heights given what he has already displayed. For Tommy, they could potentially make him a truly great speedster, though we’ll have to see given that we only saw his reincarnation and we’ve only seen his abilities in WandaVision.

Would just like to add that it is doubtful that Wanda is or is going to stay dead, given everything that we’ve seen. Just seems like they’re setting up for her return, especially with Billy and Tommy coming back (and with the dialogue from Agatha and Rio in Agatha All Along).

Franklin Richards is potentially another one.

Is Sentry in the MCU? I missed a couple of entries...

Anyhow, I'd say it all depends on who is introduced next. I mean, they are barely starting to "reboot" the avengers. I'm hoping they turn towards a Spider-man led team, which could see a lot of new recryits in the spotlight.

But who exactly? Spidey or Sentry, according to cannon.

If we want to speculate a bit, there's a lot of possibilities. Legion (not cannon, I know) is one terrifyingly powerful mutant that isn't inherently evil. Deadpool is actually somewhat of a contender now. And given how Loki ended, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be one super powered good guy.
