The Marvel universe is chock full of super-powered characters. Some of them are heroes who use these powers to help their fellow citizens but others are just selfish pricks who want to use their powers to dominate and oppress others. We call the latter group, “Villains”. These villains have some amazing abilities and scary powers. The said powers vary vastly from long teeth to horrendous monsterfications. But who is the strongest villain of them all? Well, it would be hard to pick just one so we made a list of the most powerful villains in the Marvel universe.
Galactus
Galactus is also known as the world eater. This primordial being sustains himself by devouring entire worlds. This is why he is one of the scariest and most powerful characters in the Marvel universe. There are not many people who can stand up to this colossal figure. His stature and powers are beyond the comprehension of a normal being.
The Beyonder
The Beyonder is an interesting character. He has reality-altering powers and acts as a mischievous brat in the marvel multiverse. In fact, the first Secret Wars was held because of Beyonder and The Grandmaster. This makes him a formidable foe and one that the Avengers outwit rather than overpower. His inclusion in the MCU is long overdue and we expect to see him soon.
Thanos
The Mad Titan was born to Eternals but he had a major flaw. Thanos had Deviant syndrome and this made him dangerous and erratic. Like all the Eternals he is blessed with a long lifespan and invulnerability to common sources of damage. This, combined with his obsession with the personification of death make him a dangerous individual. He has destroyed half the life in the universe on a whim in Infinity Gauntlet previously and he would gladly do it again.
Knull
Knull is the God of the void. He is a primordial being born of darkness. This God has a mean streak. He beheaded a celestial after creating the necro sword just because the celestial entered his territory. Knull is no one to be messed with. His sword is the first symbiote and he is also called the God of symbiotes. This is because he controls the symbiote hive mind. In short, Knull is all-powerful and relentless, not someone you want to mess with.
Kang The Conqueror
Kang is a weird one. Nathaniel Richards was a 31st-century scientist from Other Earth. He was the one who discovered the multiverse and time travel. This scientist then found out that in every universe he and his variants control the timestreams but not all of these variants are good. The ones that wished for total domination called themselves Kang. Kang The Conqueror is a brilliant scientist gone completely mad for power.
Doctor Doom
Anyone who knows the Marvel comics knows that Viktor Von Doom is not to be messed with. A brilliant mind and an accomplished scientist, Doom has always wished for dominion over everything he lays eyes on. He wants to create the perfect world. Well, perfect according to his definition of the word. Doom is also proficient in many kinds of sorcery due to the instructions of Doctor Strange. Combine this with his intelligence and other powers and you get a villain who constantly has Reed Richards on the ropes.
Apocalypse
The ancient mutant, or the first mutant, Apocalypse is a force of nature. His powers are beyond comprehension as they are innumerable. The character can also gain loyal followers quickly because he blesses them with the full potential of their powers. This makes him extremely agile and resourceful. Combine that with his humongous size and you have a humungous problem on your hands.
Dark Pheonix
The Pheonix force is a primordial energy being that resides in the universe. Their power is incomprehensible for mortals and even for Gods. This force once chose Jean Grey to be its vessel and they combined to birth the Dark Pheonix, a version of Jean Grey when controlled by the Pheonix force. The Dark Pheonix cannot be stopped unless Jean is killed and she has the power to destroy entire planets while she is in this phase.
Carnage
You may not think that Cletus Kasady is a major threat but his powers make him a force to be reckoned with. The biggest advantage that Kasady has against other villains is that he has the uncanny ability to survive anything. Comic fans will be able to recount several instances where it was announced that Carnage was dead only to find out that the symbiote was back to full power a few issues later.
Ultron
Ultron is one of those few villains in the Marvel comicverse that has succeeded in taking over the world in a canon storyline. Age of Ultron is a chilling tale of Ultron’s domination over the world as the Avengers struggle to survive. Ultron’s biggest power is that he cannot be killed. Trying to end him is like trying to end the internet or trying to kill electricity. It may seem possible but it is impractical after a point.
These were the most powerful villains in the Marvel universe. Let us know if you agree with this list down in the comments.
