But in our minds, here are 10 of the most powerful superheroes to ever grace a movie screen.
The "Marvel Big Three" generally refers to either Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor (especially in the MCU era) or Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Hulk (often considered the classic comic book trio). The first group represents core Avengers leadership, while the second reflects enduring popularity and presence across different media, embodying power, edge, and relatable humanity.

Going by the comics Thor has beaten Hulk far more times than the Hulk has beaten Thor. The ratio is 5:2 in Thors favor (They have fought more times than that in the comics, but most are inconclusive and without a clear winner or are dreams the Hulk is having).
The main six original Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) are Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, who first assembled in the 2012 film The Avengers. These iconic heroes formed the core of the team for the early phases of the MCU, with Captain America (Steve Rogers) often serving as leader and Iron Man (Tony Stark) as the primary benefactor.
The next major villain after Kang the Conqueror in the MCU is widely reported to be Doctor Doom, who is expected to be the primary antagonist for the Secret Wars storyline, replacing Kang as the central threat for the Multiverse Saga after discussions pivoted, according to Variety and Collider reports from late 2023.

Darkseid is stronger and faster and has better and more versatile powers and abilities. Thanos could win in a fight against Darkseid only with Infinity Gauntlet. It would be a close fight because both characters are incredibly durable and powerful. Still, Thanos stands no chance.
Hulk never defeated Superman, not even once. But Superman defeated Hulk multiple times. Sometimes very easily. If you were more than a Marvel only fan, you would know that.
Even as powerful as Loki is, he is smart and he knows he is not ready to face “countless different versions of a very dangerous person” who could be ready to wreak absolute destruction on the multiverse (a concept Loki is only just beginning to grasp) right now. He has every right to be terrified of Kang.
