Since the release of Avengers: Endgame, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has introduced a wealth of new characters. From Shang-Chi to Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk, a new generation of heroes is now gracing the MCU. Here, we delve into the 16 most powerful superheroes introduced since Endgame in 2019.
16) Ms. Marvel
Introduced in her titular 2022 series, Ms. Marvel, played by Kamala Khan, has yet to fully unleash her abilities. Utilizing a unique energy form, she can create shields and barriers, though she still grapples with understanding her powers. Her character is also revealed to possess a mutant gene, hinting at even greater potential. Ms. Marvel is set to lead the Young Avengers in future narratives.
15) America Chavez
Making her debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, America Chavez possesses the remarkable ability to traverse the multiverse. Portrayed by Xochitl Gomez, she is currently training under Wong at Kamar-Taj to become a proficient magician, enhancing her powers and perhaps paving the way to becoming the next Supreme Sorcerer.
14) Moon Knight
Introduced in his self-titled series in 2022, Moon Knight has garnered a significant fanbase in comic circles. A tormented and ambiguous superhero, he battles a dissociative identity disorder along with severe psychological issues such as paranoia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Channeling powers from Khonsou, the Egyptian moon god, Moon Knight possesses god-like abilities, though his full potential remains a mystery, making him a beloved figure with divine powers.
13) Agatha Harkness
First introduced in WandaVision, Agatha Harkness later received her spinoff series. Played by Kathryn Hahn, she is a formidable sorceress. While she may not match Scarlet Witch in raw power, her spells are quite powerful, and her moral compass is questionable, adding to her complexity. Notably, she is also several centuries old.
12) Sylvie
Sylvie is a variant of Loki. Portrayed by Sophia Di Martino, she possesses the same capabilities as her Asgardian counterpart. Cunning and strategic, she is a formidable fighter, capable of taking on significantly stronger opponents as showcased in the series Loki.
11) She-Hulk
Despite the mixed reception of the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Jennifer Walters remains a formidable powerhouse in her own right. While her strength may not rival that of her cousin Hulk, her abilities are undeniable, and fans hope that the MCU will provide her with more opportunities to showcase her full potential.
10) Hercules
Debuting in a post-credits scene of Thor: Love and Thunder, Hercules is a powerful figure with formidable physical strength. While slightly less powerful than Hulk, he can easily hold his own against the likes of Thor and The Thing. The outcome of a battle between him and Red Hulk remains uncertain.
9) Red Hulk
Continuing the Hulk legacy, Thaddeus Ross, now portrayed by Harrison Ford in Captain America: Brave New World, transforms into the Red Hulk. Under the influence of the Leader, Ross evolves into an uncontrollable red monster. While he may not possess the same strength as his green counterpart, he has demonstrated destructive capabilities, even reducing the White House to ashes.
8) Clea
First seen in the post-credits of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Clea is the niece of Dormammu and portrayed by Charlize Theron. She approaches Dr. Strange seeking assistance, and while her powers remain largely undisclosed, if they align with the comics, she draws strength from the Dark Dimension. Her allegiance remains ambiguous, but in comic lore, she is a member of the Defenders and a high-level sorceress nearly on par with Dr. Strange.
7) Wiccan
Introduced in Agatha All Along, Wiccan is the son of Scarlet Witch. As such, he is an extraordinary magician with the power to easily defeat Agatha Harkness, Clea, and even Dr. Strange—not to mention potentially his own mother. While the full extent of his abilities is yet undisclosed, they reach stratospheric levels in the comics.
6) G’iah
Making her mark in Secret Invasion, G’iah stands as a Super-Skrull. Portrayed by Emilia Clarke, she possesses a unique skill set, embodying the collective abilities of the Avengers. While these Powers are more limited than their original bearers, her status as a Super-Skrull instantly elevates her to being a formidable figure within the MCU.
5) The Fantastic Four
Set to make their debut on July 23, the iconic Fantastic Four will face formidable foes right from the outset, including The Silver Surfer and Galactus. Comprising The Human Torch, The Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Reed Richards, they represent one of Marvel’s most powerful teams. Fans eagerly await to see how their powers will translate within the MCU.
4) Adam Warlock
Officially introduced in the post-credits of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Adam Warlock remained unseen until the third installment of James Gunn‘s saga, where Will Poulter will finally portray him. Warlock is regarded as one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe, possessing superhuman strength, regeneration powers, and energy manipulation. He is the keeper of the Soul Stone and wields cosmic consciousness. However, in the MCU, he is still depicted as an immature and developing character.
3) The Eternals
It’s hard to compete with characters like Sersi, Ajak, Thena, or Druig. Just on his own, Ikaris possesses power rivaling that of Adam Warlock. This fresh team faced diminished ranks due to Deviant interference, yet the Eternals were pivotal in challenging the Celestials.
2) Uatu
A brief detour through the animated series What If… . reveals that The Watcher has become one of the most powerful characters in the MCU. Omniscient and capable of traversing time and dimensions, he can manipulate cosmic energy, telepathically communicate, and even adjust his size. His role has primarily been to observe without intervening. Yet, he showcased the extent of his powers during an encounter with Ultron Prime.
1) Sentry
How could we conclude this ranking without mentioning Sentry? Introduced in Thunderbolts, Sentry possesses the capacity to defeat virtually any other character on this list single-handedly. More powerful than Omniman, Superman, or even Homelander, he suffers from a dual identity. Bob Reynolds shares his consciousness with The Void, a demonically-empowered version of Sentry, even more formidable than the golden-haired superhero. When The Void awakens, only prayer remains.
