MCU’s 10 Strongest Characters Confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, Ranked by Power: How No. 2 Changed Everything

A powerful gathering, with absences

Avengers: Doomsday is expected to unite what the story describes as the most powerful group of characters in MCU history. Still, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel are officially sitting out.

Rumors place Strange among Doctor Doom’s Latverian witches, alongside Bruce Banner and Scarlet Witch, but that information remains protected. The Young Avengers, Hawkeye, Jean Grey, Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool are also listed among the absent characters.

Sue Storm’s force-field advantage

The four members of the Fantastic Four are expected to matter because of their history with Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Of the family, Sue Storm is presented as the strongest based on what has been shown in the MCU.

Vanessa Kirby’s character can quickly generate force fields, a power that took 20 years to emerge in the comics. She has also projected a field that briefly contained Galactus, setting her apart from the other three members.

Mutants bring varied strengths

Sir Patrick Stewart’s Professor X is described as a formidable Omega-level telepath, despite appearing weakened in trailers. He can read thoughts, influence behavior, manipulate memories and create illusions, among other abilities; the story also suggests he may be among the characters most likely to die.

Hulk’s potential remains uncertain

Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk is described as one of the Avengers’ strongest, with near-invulnerability and strength that grows as he loses control. Banner’s intelligence is also noted, though his human form is presented as a limitation.

The story says Hulk’s full potential has appeared only a few times, often when he causes significant damage. Doctor Doom has collected him, raising the possibility that he could be unrestrained in Doomsday; the available text ends before explaining what Doom’s recruitment means.
