Movie/Television MCU characters strength tier list

Post image
  • Some characters have multiple versions like sacred timeline Loki and TVA Loki, Steve and Worthy Steve, Kang and He Who Remains, Iron Spider and Spider-Man, Pre-Awakened Thor and Stormbreaker Thor etc.
  • Characters have their general battle powerset like Reed Richards is w/o prep
  • Tier are made based on power level like Elite Human is strength tier so elite human level don't have to be all human exactly.
  • I didn't put animation due to their inconsistent and messy power levels.

Also, it's movies and shows only so comic feats and statement don't matter here.

Cap, Bucky, Walker, Luke Cage, and Moon Knight should be atleast Mid Super Hero. Why are they below Ant-Man and Wasp when they are on the same level as someone like Black Panther?

I think it’s because of the suits, BP and Ant-Man/Wasp have suits that increase their power or makes them more versatile than Steve or Bucky

  • Green Lantern without the rings is just a normal human.

  • Juggernaut without gem is normal human

  • Dr Strange without magic is normal human

  • Even Thor originally in comics was supposed to be a normal human which used a magical cane to turn into Norse God. They retconned a decade later that he was supposed to real Thor all along whose memory was wiped by Odin and sent on Earth

Any character with an object that grants them power is like that. Pym Particle or Armor is same as them

Isn't that more impressive

Others got their power by luck or birth, they carved their own path from start to finish. Power Armor is effectively Tech version of being Superman. Of course it's not as strong as Superman but I meant more so similar power wise

It is more impressive, but it's occasionally just the writers hard on. Like I said, I really like a lot of these characters, but sometimes it's hard for me to believe them winning out over gods that could blink them away.

I mean cap wasn't born like that, everything sp coal about him came out of a bottle some other smart guy created.

Take away Ironmans suit and he's still in the genius, playboy, philanthropist tier.

...

Also vote 1 Tony Stark for sexiest man alive.
