Marvel’s presence in pop culture has been nothing short of incredible, even with the decline of the MCU in the eyes of many. That doesn’t change the fact that Marvel continues to dominate the realm of comics, movies, TV shows, and video games.
The brand has done a great job of integrating some of the most powerful female characters around, who can be a massive pain to deal with if they’re villains. These women stand in the way of the heroes time and time again, making it clear that they’re not to be trifled with.
Scarlet Witch
Eventually Becomes Powerful Enough To Alter Reality Itself
- Strongest Powers: Chaos Magic, Reality Warping, Time Manipulation
Scarlet Witch is one of the most iconic MCU characters. Her presence in the movies made it clear that this superheroine is not to be messed with, but the true extent of her powers is shown in the Multiverse of Madness flick, where she had the power to bend reality at will and take out some of the strongest heroes across the Multiverse without a care in the world.
This is what made her such a fearsome villain, with her powers in the comics being even more impressive. She’s a villain who is a nightmare to deal with, and her strength can only be countered by some of the strongest Marvel heroes and heroines around.
Dark Phoenix
Jean Grey Is A Menace When Her Chaotic Power Overwhelms Her
- Strongest Powers: Phoenix Force Empowerment, Telekinesis, Psychic Energy Manipulation
Embodying the power of the Phoenix Force makes Jean Grey so powerful that even she herself isn’t aware of the power she boasts. However, once this growing power drives her insane, she becomes the feared Dark Phoenix.
Her incredible power could be seen in a movie that still didn’t do justice to her character. Her pyrokinesis reaches cosmic levels of strength, and even a team of the strongest mutants around will have a hard time dealing with this once-righteous heroine.
Hela
The Way She Manhandled Thor Makes It Clear Just How Strong Hela Is
- Strongest Powers: Asgardian Physiology, Magic Manipulation
Hela destroying Thor’s hammer in Ragnarok made it clear that she was a force to be reckoned with, as one would expect from a god. Her power would’ve made it easy for her to usurp Asgard’s throne, which is why Thor and the heroes had to resort to other means to survive.
Only the dawn of Ragnarok managed to stop this dastardly villain, making it clear that Hela can’t be taken lightly. She can obliterate her foes in no time, and only a team of the strongest characters in the Marvel universe stands a chance of dealing with her might.
Death
A Cosmic Entity That Embodies The Concept Of Mortality
- Strongest Powers: Nigh-Omnipotence, Cosmic Power
Death, or Lady Death for people who want to pay their respects, is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe. The fact that she embodies the very concept of mortality itself should make it clear just how much power she holds in the palm of her hand.
She’s immortal and is an abstract being who assumes a tangible form for the sake of convenience, rather than anything else. She can manipulate time and reality to her will, which alone makes her one of the strongest beings in the Marvel universe by a country mile.
Umar
Dormammu’s Sister Is About As Tough As One Would Expect
- Strongest Powers: Energy Manipulation, Matter Transmutation
Dormammu was yet another powerful antagonist whose powers were so otherworldly that Doctor Strange had to resort to a technicality and trap him in a time loop to secure victory. So, it goes without saying that his sister would boast the same level of power.
In fact, Umar was in a league of her own and is capable of unseating the mighty Dormammu from his throne, making her powers clear as day. If this villain ever decides to enter the MCU, then the heroes will have a tough time trying to survive against her limitless might.
Enchantress
An Asgardian Who Constantly Shatters The Ceiling Over And Over Again
- Strongest Powers: Asgardian Physiology, Incredible Sorcery
The very fact that Enchantress is an Asgardian makes her powerful beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and durability are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how strong she is.
Her sorcery makes her even more powerful, with Loki playing a huge role in dictating her power levels, given that he’s the reason why she became a sorceress to begin with. She can manipulate people and bend them to her will, making it easier for her to amass an army and enhance her power to even greater heights.
Cassandra Nova
One Of The Most Powerful Telepaths And Psychics Of All Time
- Strongest Powers: DNA Duplication, Telepathy, Telekinesis
Professor X’s sister boasts similar levels of telekinetic power, which is why her presence in Deadpool & Wolverine was so impactful. Cassandra Nova could turn Deadpool into a scrap of mush in no time, making it clear that a direct assault was tantamount to suicide.
Yet again, a technicality comes to save the day as the Time Ripper’s destruction ends up being her undoing. Had she not placed herself in such a vulnerable position, Cassandra could’ve obliterated the heroes in no time.
Madelyne Pryor
Jean Grey’s Clone Is Imperfect But Still Ridiculously Strong
- Strongest Powers: Mutant Physiology, Demonic Augmentation, Incredible Sorcery
Given that Jean Grey is one of the most powerful beings in Marvel, it’s easy to see why her clone would boast the same level of power. She may fall behind just a bit from the original, but that should take nothing away from Madelyne Pryor’s intensity as a villain.
Her powers reached even greater heights when she became the Goblin Queen and could manipulate eldritch magic. The ways her character has changed over the course of her run in the comics have gifted her numerous power-ups and allowed her to manifest her powers in a way that Jean Grey never could.
