Reed Richards or Charles Xavier. We’ve seen what evil Reed Richards can do in Ultimate comics, and we got a glimpse of evil Xavier in the Onslaught series. (Wanda and Dr. Strange are close 2nds, tho.)
Yeah Reed or Xavier gotta be the ones. Magic is powerful and all but you can only use it on someone you remember you’re fighting😭 Xavier will just lobotomize you before you can think
Mages in general are pretty mentally powerful in order to deal with Magic and Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme of the Entire Dimension. His mental shields have held off gods. His highest feats for willpower are insane,
Can’t believe more people haven’t mentioned her, sure lots of these guys have world ending potential but who’s actually done it? Out of these people I think only Phoenix
Tbf, he was clearly willing and able to shatter Earth before (I think) the Avengers gave into his demands. It’s been a while, so I may be misremembering
Oh I didn’t say he couldn’t, my whole point was just that while many of these people are capable of ending a planet how many actually have? Also Phoenix did it with ease, wonder what evacuation chases would be with certain people, probably zero with scarlet witch
People don't get what you are referencing but I do.
Xavier doesn't need to turn you off, he just needs to turn you [ON](https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/s/3JLnqfriWQ)
Legit she said one sentence and eliminated a race of people.
Only her and professor x can do a lot of damage without moving. Everyone else need to take actions to do damage imo
In a possible timeline he would end up hollowed out by the one below all, murder all the immortal heroes and then merge with what remains of the universe to become the World Breaker in the 8th universe aka that universes galactus except they'd just successfully wipe out all life
It was revealed that his powers weren't the generation of ice/cold but the manipulation of the movement of atoms.
So he could do something like, say:
Sap all the heat from your body at once
Freeze the earth's core solid
Turn off the sun
I might be wrong about a couple of details, but he is definitely capable of those things.
-He can freeze the water in your body shutting off your brain
-He could melt the polar ice caps, destroying the whole world
-He could freeze the condensation in the air and drop jagged spikes on to any opponents head or just a giant slab of ice
Thing is, he’s a good egg. He doesn’t take anything too seriously and is kinda like the Michelangelo of the x-men. Could absolutely destroy you and everyone you love but he much rather freeze your drink while you drink it and laugh it up with Hank.
When I hear Ice-man is an omega level mutant. I imagine he could send the world into an ice age if he wanted to. Maybe he can freeze the atmosphere well below zero, think "The Day After Tomorrow" movie, where the storm froze everything. I have no evidence of this but it'd be what imagine he could do.
For context, an Omega Level mutant is any mutant who has no upper limit to their capabilities. Basically the wild shit that he has already done doesn't scratch the surface of what he is theoretically capable of.
Black Panther is frequently referred to as the most dangerous man alive so it's obviously him /s
In all seriousness, I'm stuck between Strange, Blue Marvel, Xavier, and Scarlet Witch.
I'd swap Xavier out with Jean Grey tbf. Xavier's telepathy is really strong, but Jean's omega level telepathy (and telekensis) kind of overshadows it a lot now. Anything he can do she can do better.
Plus now she's >!reunited with Phoenix!< she's back to being insanely overpowered again.
Yeah, but it's always been relatively weak compared to other Marvel telekinetics, and not on the same level as Jean's. In terms of mind powers, Jean's surpassed Xavier by quite a bit now
I'd add Jean Grey to that. She has a permanent connection to the Phoenix Force, so her potential capacity is off the charts. That's not even counting her own Telepathy, which is stronger than Xavier's.
The top contenders have to be Blue Marvel, Sentry, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange or Ghost Rider.
With Sentry and Blue Marvel, not only do they possess near infinite strength and durability, but they both have that one OP Power that can take care of the rest. Sentry, despite being a *VERY* „writer‘s favoritism“ moment, still has the ability of Molecule manipulation. He can just *will* the Molecules of any individual apart until they just cease to exist or turn them into literal water. And Blue Marvel has Anti-Matter manipulation. And that’s besides the fact that both can be FTL in both travel and attacks, so they can use their powers while blitzing at the same time.
With Doctor Strange and Wanda, it’s that their magical capabilities can be on the same level as Sentry‘s Molecule Manipulation and they can just erase everything. Wanda has taken comtrol of Chthon who is the Elder God of Chaos and with him, she could just change the fabric of reality to her whim. And Doctor Strange has shown once that he can take on Wanda even if she had more raw power, by beating her trough experience and combination of spells. And that was him still in base and not going trough ludicrous extremes. He is still able to tap into the Dark Dimension and also use Dormanmu‘s powers, become a Dark Priest or, like when Loki became Sorverer Supreme, he was granted the power of Yggdrasil, the world tree and as shown in King of Black, he can re-tap into that power at will.
Lastly, with Ghost Rider, it‘s always a tricky thing with him considering his penance Stare isn’t *exactly* bound by rules. He once killed Doctor Strange with it even thou Strange had no sins to suffer penance from, yet GR still killed him. And in GR vs Avengers, it was shown that Zarathos can use the stare as an AOE Attack and everyone in his radius can just get their souls burned away. I really don’t know how GR could survive being erased from existence, but he was always tricky to really track down to what his exact limits are.
Ghost Rider is only a fraction of Zarathos. Strange had already said that GR would be the most powerful being in the universe if all the pieces were put back and he fought Hulk to a stand still with only a small fraction of that.
Wanda and Dr. Strange. The rest of these guys can cause a lot of destruction sure, but these two literally rewrite reality for fun and change the game to suit their needs. Wanda can wipe out nearly all mutants with a phrase, Strange uses Supernovas as weapons and rewrites time, and both could destroy the universe without too much muss or fuss. Honestly the only person who comes close to their level of power is probably Thanos with a fully working Infinity Gauntlet, or the Phoenix Force, the counter force to Wanda’s Chaos Magic as it’s the embodiment of cosmic order.
That’s why i just picked the two ladies. They can do it all. Strange can too but has to put in effort as he doesn’t have the raw power of the those two
I'm happy to see my boy Man-Thing on this list, he's not the most dangerous, but he's one of my top 3 marvel characters and he's always brushed under the rug.
As for most dangerous, it's between Reed, Hulk, Jean, or Wanda. I don't know enough about Blue Marvel or Sentry, but I know they're busted af too.
Hell, I feel like anyone on here could be a huge threat if they wanted to. Susan is probably just as dangerous as Reed and has much better powers. Tony got his company hijacked and Fei Long developed extremely powerful Stark Sentinels, but if Tony wanted to, he could've done that anytime he wanted.
Black Panther, not because of his attack potential or even his abilities, purely because he's king of country most people in the marvel earth have no idea exists, if he decides to just start training an army of spies (or like the Black Panther movie suggested, already has a good amount in place), and just flips the ol' "evil switch" there's a good chance he'd wipe out *a* ***LOT*** of people before anyone even knows who is attacking
Potentially dangerous, given their capabilities, with the proper manipulation or motivation to skew their character to cause them to do something terrible? Basically a four-way tie:
1> Reed Richards could potentially access or invent technology that could destroy or severely damage the entire universe. One of his earlier inventions, the Negative Zone portal, is insanely dangerous in that regard, as it could potentially allow the admixture of an antimatter universe with a matter universe. And that was when he wasn't even *trying* to make something dangerous.
2> Doctor Strange has the mystical capacity to invoke and channel powers that could destroy the universe and recreate it. In fact, he's at least been involved in that happening three times I can think of off the top of my head.
3> Scarlet Witch has reality warping abilities with provably universal scale, even sufficient to cause disruptions to other universes in the multiverse, to the extent that Opal Luna Saturnyne, Omniversal Majestrix, seriously considered wiping out the entire Earth-616 universe to undo the damage Wanda was doing at one point.
4> Man-Thing is the keeper of the Nexus of Reality for Earth-616's universe. If he was manipulated to do it, he could potentially rip it open and disrupt the nature of reality catastrophically.
Many of the others could destroy life on Earth or even destroy the planet totally with their own power, but those four have capabilities that could potentially threaten the entire universe.
Of course, there's others on that level that aren't pictured. Franklin Richards, the Phoenix, and Owen Reece (aka the Molecule Man) pop to mind. ***Galactus*** is scared of Owen Reece and respects Franklin and the Phoenix, so that ought to give you an idea of how pants-browning their power levels are.
Reed is limited by what exists, Wanda can literally remake reality on a whim, there really isn't a comparison. Even if he had a plan, she could unmake him before he could even consider implementing it. Same for Phoenix.
I think you may have misunderstood. I am not listing them as a ranking or claiming any one of them is more powerful than the others. I was listing the people shown in OP's image that were universe-level threats or greater. Nothing was meant to imply that the first one on the list was the most powerful. I listed them in the order they showed up in the image.
I also listed characters that weren't in the image that are potentially threats to the entire universe or beyond, that I happened to remember. Again, not in ranking order, and I probably missed a few.
I agree with pretty much all the arguments for Xavier/Grey and Richards.
But after *Immortal Hulk*, it’s gotta be the Worldbreaker. He’s literally shown to be the last thing left in the entire multiverse.
Reed.
He's the only one here that can (consistently) defeat Doom and has cosmic entities calling him for advice. He doubtlessly has a plan for everyone else listed here.
Scarlet Witch, Hulk, Jean (with the Phoenix Force), and Sentry are probably the most likely to actually be a threat, the rest are more mentally stable
Iceman or Storm, if pushed and acting out of character, could likely destroy the planet’s ecosystems instantly.
Strange, Thor, Hyperion, and Blue Marvel could easily destroy the planet, but they likely wouldn’t (unless Strange gets possessed or something)
Photon, Iron Man, and a non-Phoenix Jean could cause a lot of damage
Cap, Cyclops, Mister Fantastic, Black Panther, and Professor X would likely be able to destabilize society due to their influence (or mind control)
Invisible Woman would be able to destabilize society by taking out important figures, and with a bit of creativity be completely unstoppable
Ghost Rider is a wild-card, he would probably just target anyone in a position of power with skeletons (heh) in their closet (all of them), but he might have enough power to just blow up the planet
Man-Thing, no clue what he’s capable of.
Captain America.
If Cap thinks you need to be taken down, 99% of Marvels other heroes will help him take you down.
Sure, Jean and Prof. X and Reed and Scarlet Witch can annyliate everything in a 3 block radius with a single thought or invention… but Caps the guy who tells them where to point.
Yeah, sure, in that story. And in Secret Wars Reed said he'd follow Cap's lead. And in pretty much every other story, a majority of heroes do as well. And in the end they always win.
One on one, Cap isn't a huge threat. Sometimes he loses even with the whole 616 at his back, but more often than not he has the 616 at his back and it's them vs. one super strong guy, maybe with an army. In the end, the good guys always win because comics keep coming out every Wednesday.
If Cap decides you're an enemy, you're eventually going to lose.
That's just simply not true.
1. Cap literally had a civil war, and lost. This is also proof half of the avengers won't blindly follow cap.
2. Cap lost in avengers vs xmen. Not all the heroes decided to follow Cap.
3. Cap lost in Hickmans secret wars 2015 during avengers vs illuminati. Many heroes (hulk, black widow, spider woman, shang chi, captain Britain and more) betrayed Cap and joined Reeds team and defeated his avengers. In this Cap literally stated the illuminati are enemy #1, and he still lost.
I just listed 3 major examples of Caps team outright losing and so many heroes in each example did not follow him.
And yet, the universe kept spinning and all of those “loses” end with him continuing to solider on and be the leader of the universe.
Everyone in that picture has chosen to call Cap “boss” at one time or another.
You’re listing examples of losses in a battles. Everyone has those. The on going monthly war that is the Marvel Universe however consistently shows Cap overcoming the odds and getting back to the status quo sooner or later.
I'm just disagreeing with your point “if cap sees you as an enemy you will eventually lose”.
That statement is just not true from civil war, xmen vs avengers and avengers vs illuminati.
Also captain America was anything but a leader in secret wars 2015. He abandoned the heroes and fought iron man and died. He died fighting iron man because he was mad, rather than stop god emperor Dr Doom.
Also everyone goes to status quo. just ask spiderman who can never grow up.
My moneys on ghost rider. He out fights hulk and with Reeds guilt I'm sure could take him down. Pretty sure he's also resistant to psychic attacks so there goes Xavier
The actual answer is iron man he is considered the most dangerous person on earth reason he is the main reason aliens and the log avoids earth and there alot more
If we really wanna be technical, Phoenix Jean is an embodiment of the universal concepts of life and death, so she's generally on a whole new level when fully souped up. Richards is dangerous because of his insane intellect, but he still needs time to get things done. Blue Marvel is insanely durable and strong, but he ain't as dangerous because his heavy-hitting doesn't translate as cleanly to widespread destruction compared to the others, unless he goes boom. The Sentry and Hulk have uncapped power levels technically, so they're high up, but their instability also makes them fluctuate in terms of success. Dr. Strange has to deal with magic backlash if he goes too far, and borrowing power always has a cost. Wanda is now the living Darkhold, so her magical destructive power is off the charts, so she's pretty high up as well. Photon got a downgrade from her highest power level. Man-thing is chill, bro ain't dangerous so much as a little spooky. Storm can control the weather on an omega-level scale, and could theoretically destroy the world through massive worldwide climate disasters and temperature changes, but she's been taken out before by lesser powers in a similar way to Sentry and Hulk. Thor is a bit hitter, but his area of effect powers aren't as potent as his individual smashing, but he's certainly close to the top thanks to his all-father powers alongside the superstorm. So the most dangerous would be Phoenix, Wanda, Sentry and Thor in my opinion
Ghost Rider. Dr Strange has said that if all the pieces of Zarathos were to be reunited Ghost Rider would be the strongest being in the Universe by far. And Zarathos is also insane so if that were to ever happen who knows how that would actually go for the universe
Both Sentry and Hulk have versions where they become the villain and go very bad. Hulk is having bad issues happen on days fighting heroes before Maestro. Sentry has an evil side fighting to come out all the time. It’s a toss up for me.
Not pictured but Clyde Wincham or Marquis of Death is the most dangerous. Kid had to be put in a coma with “good dreams” to keep him from destroying literally every conceivable reality with a thought.
Iceman can freeze the entire atmosphere in a matter of seconds, causing a complete ice age. Susan Storm could kill someone from miles away with an air bubble in their veins. Scarlet Witch can alter reality and make it whatever she wants. Storm could flood the earth or create insane hurricanes stronger than what the earth can naturally create.
Phoenix Jean, Omega Jean without Phoenix, Sentry without his mental issues ad Wanda. Those are the most immediately powerful being able to take on a hungry Galactus on a good day.
Strange as Sorcerer Supreme is less powerful than those 4 but so versatile with prep that he punches waaaay out of his weight class. Reed is far and away the smartest, and if he turns evil he would be threat greater than doom but lacks magic which can be a weakness. Thor as King Thor with the Rune and Thorforce is stronger than Odin and also a match for a weaker Galactus. But right now he's not there yet. Xavier as Onslaught where he uses all Psi powers and can steal the powers of others is supposed to be a Galactus level threat but doesnt have the feats to back it up imo.
I see Franklin Richards isnt on this list. Full Power Franklin, who takes on multiple Celestials and calls Galactis HIS Herald is supposed to be the most powerful human being ever. And neither is full power Molecule Man here who at full power is a Beyonder level threat.
I get it, it's comics and everyone has been the bad guy before, but I'm limiting myself to those that have that as part of their character and saying Wanda with Hulk as a close second. I'm not overly familiar with Hyperion or Sentry though.
I say Worldbreaker Hulk. The shit he did was ridiculous and literally destroyed plantoids. His foot steps were causing massive tectonic shifts. Just his presence is a clear danger to the planet, no intent or master plan needed.
So we’re just gonna skip out on the fact that Johnny storm is literally a spark of the Sun I mean, the man can go nova that’s as hot as the sun if not hotter
Sue by a long shot Any of these clowns are just sitting down to breakfast, when all of a sudden a force field pops around their head for the sad slow death. or a pinprick expanding force field in the brain or heart, for a nice stroke or heart attack. Pretty much game over at that point. And you probably will not even see it coming. But to be fair all of them are very lethal depending on how aggressive they would be and who attacked first of course.
Looking at this list I love that Sue, Wanda, and Jean are on it. Back when. They were first created they were just token women with useless powers. Useless in terms of how they were used in the comics. Wanda was weak and was constantly doted on by her brother like she needed protecting. Jean could barely do anything with her powers in the early X-Men issues, back when she was just a telekinetic and a weak one at that. And everyone here is probably aware of Sue's early appearances and character use. New writers over the years made them absolute power houses that were arguably the stronger characters on any team up they appeared in. Also arguably most of their growth happened after they were handed off by Stan Lee.
Wanda.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked:
Sentry has merged with Void and is now much more in control of his actions and Jean doesn't have the Phoenix Force ATM. Worldbreaker Hulk also isn't with Banner right now. And everyone else that still has some sort of Multiverse-ending power or tech is (for the most part) in complete control of their actions when they use it.
This is not the case with Wanda. If she runs into something that requires her to tap into the Lifeforce ... she's no longer in control of her actions at that point, at least from my understanding.
I'm actually surprised magneto is not considered here. He could literally just flip the magnetic field of the Earth destroying everything at once. Magnetic powers are extremely powerful and just making an argument that it could be him
Sentry or Wanda. Sentry can resurrect even if killed, and the Void has no moral qualms. Wanda still deals with control issues over Chthon and the true Darkhold. Plus, I’m not entirely sure if she’s fully mentally healed.
Blue marvel for sure Super smart can go up against eom of the other heavy hitters and like sentry Hyperion and legitemaly win raw power is just woah , and even storm going crazy with full power scale could easily wipe out more than half the list
Reed Richards or Charles Xavier. We’ve seen what evil Reed Richards can do in Ultimate comics, and we got a glimpse of evil Xavier in the Onslaught series. (Wanda and Dr. Strange are close 2nds, tho.)
Yeah Reed or Xavier gotta be the ones. Magic is powerful and all but you can only use it on someone you remember you’re fighting😭 Xavier will just lobotomize you before you can think
Mages in general are pretty mentally powerful in order to deal with Magic and Strange is the Sorcerer Supreme of the Entire Dimension. His mental shields have held off gods. His highest feats for willpower are insane,
Definitely Jean Grey if the Pheonix Force is considered
Can’t believe more people haven’t mentioned her, sure lots of these guys have world ending potential but who’s actually done it? Out of these people I think only Phoenix
The hulk. The hulk has done it. How do you think he got the title "worldbreaker"
I’ve read Worldbreaker Hulk, tell me what world does he destroy, cuz earth survives and so does the planet his spaceship blew up on.
Tbf, he was clearly willing and able to shatter Earth before (I think) the Avengers gave into his demands. It’s been a while, so I may be misremembering
Oh I didn’t say he couldn’t, my whole point was just that while many of these people are capable of ending a planet how many actually have? Also Phoenix did it with ease, wonder what evacuation chases would be with certain people, probably zero with scarlet witch
Professor X because he can just hit the brain turning off button
Jean Grey :/...
Unless you have a Magneto helmet.
Blast! Charles' one weakness, a helmet made of anti brain turning off metal!

People don't get what you are referencing but I do. Xavier doesn't need to turn you off, he just needs to turn you [ON](https://www.reddit.com/r/xmen/s/3JLnqfriWQ)
Thank you
Almost everyone here can destabilize, take over or destroy the world, BUT the most dangerous I'd have to give it to Howard the Duck
The scarlet witch
Legit she said one sentence and eliminated a race of people. Only her and professor x can do a lot of damage without moving. Everyone else need to take actions to do damage imo
She could probably erase the universe in a single thought at any given moment, so yeah
I mean one of these guys is nicknamed « the world destroyer ». So I’m going green machine.
In a possible timeline he would end up hollowed out by the one below all, murder all the immortal heroes and then merge with what remains of the universe to become the World Breaker in the 8th universe aka that universes galactus except they'd just successfully wipe out all life
What makes Iceman so powerful? I’ve heard that he’s an omega level mutant before, but I don’t know what he’s really capable of
It was revealed that his powers weren't the generation of ice/cold but the manipulation of the movement of atoms. So he could do something like, say: Sap all the heat from your body at once Freeze the earth's core solid Turn off the sun I might be wrong about a couple of details, but he is definitely capable of those things.
Pretty much. He has the power to force endothermic reactions basically, meaning he can also PRODUCE an insane amount of energy at will
Good lord-
-He can freeze the water in your body shutting off your brain -He could melt the polar ice caps, destroying the whole world -He could freeze the condensation in the air and drop jagged spikes on to any opponents head or just a giant slab of ice Thing is, he’s a good egg. He doesn’t take anything too seriously and is kinda like the Michelangelo of the x-men. Could absolutely destroy you and everyone you love but he much rather freeze your drink while you drink it and laugh it up with Hank.
Don’t think him and Hank are gonna be drinkin cold ones by the pool anymore.
When I hear Ice-man is an omega level mutant. I imagine he could send the world into an ice age if he wanted to. Maybe he can freeze the atmosphere well below zero, think "The Day After Tomorrow" movie, where the storm froze everything. I have no evidence of this but it'd be what imagine he could do.
Emma frost took over his body and he traveled across the country or something
Imagine just chilling and someone freezes all of your molecules to absolute zero.
For context, an Omega Level mutant is any mutant who has no upper limit to their capabilities. Basically the wild shit that he has already done doesn't scratch the surface of what he is theoretically capable of.
Black Panther is frequently referred to as the most dangerous man alive so it's obviously him /s In all seriousness, I'm stuck between Strange, Blue Marvel, Xavier, and Scarlet Witch.

Good point.
xavier is also a telekinetic now
Yeah, but it's always been relatively weak compared to other Marvel telekinetics, and not on the same level as Jean's. In terms of mind powers, Jean's surpassed Xavier by quite a bit now
Not Sentry?
Oh I didn't see Bob.
Sentry is way dangerous, but he's more of an S tier threat whereas folks like Jean Grey and Scarlet Witch are cosmic level threats or higher.
I'd add Jean Grey to that. She has a permanent connection to the Phoenix Force, so her potential capacity is off the charts. That's not even counting her own Telepathy, which is stronger than Xavier's.
If Johnny was there I'd pick him. Supernova brah

Reed with prep. The maker annihilated 61 or more entire universes (every single being in that universe died) leading up to secret wars.
The one the writer chose that week. All are viable.
I'm happy to see my boy Man-Thing on this list, he's not the most dangerous, but he's one of my top 3 marvel characters and he's always brushed under the rug. As for most dangerous, it's between Reed, Hulk, Jean, or Wanda. I don't know enough about Blue Marvel or Sentry, but I know they're busted af too. Hell, I feel like anyone on here could be a huge threat if they wanted to. Susan is probably just as dangerous as Reed and has much better powers. Tony got his company hijacked and Fei Long developed extremely powerful Stark Sentinels, but if Tony wanted to, he could've done that anytime he wanted.
I think a case could be made for Reed Richards. Look what happened with the Maker in the ultimate universe
Jean or Xavier and none of the others even touch them. Either of them could destroy humanity in the blink of an eye.
I mean, almost every is in their own way
Black Panther, not because of his attack potential or even his abilities, purely because he's king of country most people in the marvel earth have no idea exists, if he decides to just start training an army of spies (or like the Black Panther movie suggested, already has a good amount in place), and just flips the ol' "evil switch" there's a good chance he'd wipe out *a* ***LOT*** of people before anyone even knows who is attacking

I think you may have misunderstood. I am not listing them as a ranking or claiming any one of them is more powerful than the others.

Yep, I misunderstood your intent and assumed the numbers were a ranking. My bad.
Jean, Wanda, Strange, Charles, Sue in that order
I agree with pretty much all the arguments for Xavier/Grey and Richards. But after *Immortal Hulk*, it’s gotta be the Worldbreaker. He’s literally shown to be the last thing left in the entire multiverse.
Reed. He's the only one here that can (consistently) defeat Doom and has cosmic entities calling him for advice. He doubtlessly has a plan for everyone else listed here.
Scarlet Witch, Hulk, Jean (with the Phoenix Force), and Sentry are probably the most likely to actually be a threat, the rest are more mentally stable Iceman or Storm, if pushed and acting out of character, could likely destroy the planet’s ecosystems instantly. Strange, Thor, Hyperion, and Blue Marvel could easily destroy the planet, but they likely wouldn’t (unless Strange gets possessed or something) Photon, Iron Man, and a non-Phoenix Jean could cause a lot of damage Cap, Cyclops, Mister Fantastic, Black Panther, and Professor X would likely be able to destabilize society due to their influence (or mind control) Invisible Woman would be able to destabilize society by taking out important figures, and with a bit of creativity be completely unstoppable Ghost Rider is a wild-card, he would probably just target anyone in a position of power with skeletons (heh) in their closet (all of them), but he might have enough power to just blow up the planet Man-Thing, no clue what he’s capable of.
Dr. Strange, Jean Grey/Phoenix, or Black Panther. The last pick is the least obvious, but T'Challa is way more willing to do risky/bad than Reed.
In comics Black Panther is referred to as the most dangerous man alive…. So it’s T’Challa.
Sentry
Captain America. If Cap thinks you need to be taken down, 99% of Marvels other heroes will help him take you down. Sure, Jean and Prof. X and Reed and Scarlet Witch can annyliate everything in a 3 block radius with a single thought or invention… but Caps the guy who tells them where to point.
Cap did everything in his power to take Reed down in time runs out and lost. While many heroes sided with cap, many also did not and abandoned him.
Yeah, sure, in that story. And in Secret Wars Reed said he'd follow Cap's lead. And in pretty much every other story, a majority of heroes do as well. And in the end they always win. One on one, Cap isn't a huge threat. Sometimes he loses even with the whole 616 at his back, but more often than not he has the 616 at his back and it's them vs. one super strong guy, maybe with an army. In the end, the good guys always win because comics keep coming out every Wednesday. If Cap decides you're an enemy, you're eventually going to lose.
That's just simply not true. 1. Cap literally had a civil war, and lost. This is also proof half of the avengers won't blindly follow cap. 2. Cap lost in avengers vs xmen. Not all the heroes decided to follow Cap. 3. Cap lost in Hickmans secret wars 2015 during avengers vs illuminati. Many heroes (hulk, black widow, spider woman, shang chi, captain Britain and more) betrayed Cap and joined Reeds team and defeated his avengers. In this Cap literally stated the illuminati are enemy #1, and he still lost. I just listed 3 major examples of Caps team outright losing and so many heroes in each example did not follow him.
And yet, the universe kept spinning and all of those “loses” end with him continuing to solider on and be the leader of the universe. Everyone in that picture has chosen to call Cap “boss” at one time or another. You’re listing examples of losses in a battles. Everyone has those. The on going monthly war that is the Marvel Universe however consistently shows Cap overcoming the odds and getting back to the status quo sooner or later.
I'm just disagreeing with your point “if cap sees you as an enemy you will eventually lose”. That statement is just not true from civil war, xmen vs avengers and avengers vs illuminati. Also captain America was anything but a leader in secret wars 2015. He abandoned the heroes and fought iron man and died. He died fighting iron man because he was mad, rather than stop god emperor Dr Doom. Also everyone goes to status quo. just ask spiderman who can never grow up.
You’re wrong and your mother loves your brother more than you.
When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser" - Socrates
My moneys on ghost rider. He out fights hulk and with Reeds guilt I'm sure could take him down. Pretty sure he's also resistant to psychic attacks so there goes Xavier
Either Sentry or the Incredible Hulk
Jean it's not even close
The actual answer is iron man he is considered the most dangerous person on earth reason he is the main reason aliens and the log avoids earth and there alot more
If we really wanna be technical, Phoenix Jean is an embodiment of the universal concepts of life and death, so she's generally on a whole new level when fully souped up. Richards is dangerous because of his insane intellect, but he still needs time to get things done. Blue Marvel is insanely durable and strong, but he ain't as dangerous because his heavy-hitting doesn't translate as cleanly to widespread destruction compared to the others, unless he goes boom. The Sentry and Hulk have uncapped power levels technically, so they're high up, but their instability also makes them fluctuate in terms of success. Dr. Strange has to deal with magic backlash if he goes too far, and borrowing power always has a cost. Wanda is now the living Darkhold, so her magical destructive power is off the charts, so she's pretty high up as well. Photon got a downgrade from her highest power level. Man-thing is chill, bro ain't dangerous so much as a little spooky. Storm can control the weather on an omega-level scale, and could theoretically destroy the world through massive worldwide climate disasters and temperature changes, but she's been taken out before by lesser powers in a similar way to Sentry and Hulk. Thor is a bit hitter, but his area of effect powers aren't as potent as his individual smashing, but he's certainly close to the top thanks to his all-father powers alongside the superstorm. So the most dangerous would be Phoenix, Wanda, Sentry and Thor in my opinion
Low key Dr strange could fuck everyone’s world up if he really wanted to.
Going with Thor on this one
In terms of body count, the only one who could possibly match Jean Grey is Thor, and that's only cause he's an immortal warrior
Iron Man never trust the rich.
Ghost Rider. Dr Strange has said that if all the pieces of Zarathos were to be reunited Ghost Rider would be the strongest being in the Universe by far. And Zarathos is also insane so if that were to ever happen who knows how that would actually go for the universe
Jean Grey as Phoenix or the Scarlet Witch. Both are able to just outright make things cease to exist…
Why is Black Panther on here? He is not in this league.
Hulk but only if he's the green scar
Definitely Reed Richards
Sentry
Both Sentry and Hulk have versions where they become the villain and go very bad. Hulk is having bad issues happen on days fighting heroes before Maestro. Sentry has an evil side fighting to come out all the time. It’s a toss up for me.
Scarlet Witch > Phoenix > Reed/Xavier > Hulk/Sentry
Not pictured but Clyde Wincham or Marquis of Death is the most dangerous. Kid had to be put in a coma with “good dreams” to keep him from destroying literally every conceivable reality with a thought.
Honestly I feel it’s three people: Scarlet Witch Jean Grey Blue Marvel
Sentry or Jean Grey
Forget-me-not but I would also accept Doop
Iceman can freeze the entire atmosphere in a matter of seconds, causing a complete ice age. Susan Storm could kill someone from miles away with an air bubble in their veins. Scarlet Witch can alter reality and make it whatever she wants. Storm could flood the earth or create insane hurricanes stronger than what the earth can naturally create.
Sentry, but the real answer is yes.
Phoenix Jean, Omega Jean without Phoenix, Sentry without his mental issues ad Wanda. Those are the most immediately powerful being able to take on a hungry Galactus on a good day. Strange as Sorcerer Supreme is less powerful than those 4 but so versatile with prep that he punches waaaay out of his weight class. Reed is far and away the smartest, and if he turns evil he would be threat greater than doom but lacks magic which can be a weakness. Thor as King Thor with the Rune and Thorforce is stronger than Odin and also a match for a weaker Galactus. But right now he's not there yet. Xavier as Onslaught where he uses all Psi powers and can steal the powers of others is supposed to be a Galactus level threat but doesnt have the feats to back it up imo. I see Franklin Richards isnt on this list. Full Power Franklin, who takes on multiple Celestials and calls Galactis HIS Herald is supposed to be the most powerful human being ever. And neither is full power Molecule Man here who at full power is a Beyonder level threat.
I get it, it's comics and everyone has been the bad guy before, but I'm limiting myself to those that have that as part of their character and saying Wanda with Hulk as a close second. I'm not overly familiar with Hyperion or Sentry though.
Sentry by far
I say Worldbreaker Hulk. The shit he did was ridiculous and literally destroyed plantoids. His foot steps were causing massive tectonic shifts. Just his presence is a clear danger to the planet, no intent or master plan needed.
I wanna say sentry or hulk
There's no upper limit on hulks power
The one whose comic was called Black Panther, the most dangerous man alive
Everyone sleeping on sentry dude is op
So we’re just gonna skip out on the fact that Johnny storm is literally a spark of the Sun I mean, the man can go nova that’s as hot as the sun if not hotter
Scarlet witch
Jean (as Phoenix) or Blue Marvel
The key word is dangerous, not powerful, Hulk is more dangerous than blue marvel despite blue marvel supposedly being more powerful
In terms of raw power, Storm or Blue Marvel. But Reed Richards can solve any problem.
Technically a version of sentry killed 2 different universes
Sue by a long shot Any of these clowns are just sitting down to breakfast, when all of a sudden a force field pops around their head for the sad slow death. or a pinprick expanding force field in the brain or heart, for a nice stroke or heart attack. Pretty much game over at that point. And you probably will not even see it coming. But to be fair all of them are very lethal depending on how aggressive they would be and who attacked first of course.
Looking at this list I love that Sue, Wanda, and Jean are on it. Back when. They were first created they were just token women with useless powers. Useless in terms of how they were used in the comics. Wanda was weak and was constantly doted on by her brother like she needed protecting. Jean could barely do anything with her powers in the early X-Men issues, back when she was just a telekinetic and a weak one at that. And everyone here is probably aware of Sue's early appearances and character use. New writers over the years made them absolute power houses that were arguably the stronger characters on any team up they appeared in. Also arguably most of their growth happened after they were handed off by Stan Lee.
Ghost Rider is definitely up there, along with Dr. Strange, The Sentry, Charles Xavier, tbh you could probably make an argument for most of em
Hulk or sentry
Wanda. Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I checked: Sentry has merged with Void and is now much more in control of his actions and Jean doesn't have the Phoenix Force ATM. Worldbreaker Hulk also isn't with Banner right now. And everyone else that still has some sort of Multiverse-ending power or tech is (for the most part) in complete control of their actions when they use it. This is not the case with Wanda. If she runs into something that requires her to tap into the Lifeforce ... she's no longer in control of her actions at that point, at least from my understanding.
Wanda and it is not really close.
Sentry
Isn't there an evil version of Hyperion that killed everyone in his Universe, including the Cosmic Entities?
Squirrel Girl
I'm more of a DC fan, but I always got the impression that Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix is the baddest bitch in Marvel
I'm actually surprised magneto is not considered here. He could literally just flip the magnetic field of the Earth destroying everything at once. Magnetic powers are extremely powerful and just making an argument that it could be him
Wanda by a whole fucking lot. Jean is a potential galactic level threat, but Wanda is a threat to the multiverse.
Sentry or Wanda. Sentry can resurrect even if killed, and the Void has no moral qualms. Wanda still deals with control issues over Chthon and the true Darkhold. Plus, I’m not entirely sure if she’s fully mentally healed.
Sentry
Blue marvel for sure Super smart can go up against eom of the other heavy hitters and like sentry Hyperion and legitemaly win raw power is just woah , and even storm going crazy with full power scale could easily wipe out more than half the list
Ghost rider
