As you embark on this journey through our carefully curated list, you’ll encounter heroes who’ve defied gods and those who’ve faced their inner demons. So, prepare to be enthralled, and perhaps, by the end, you’ll have an answer to the age-old question: Who is Marvel’s most powerful champion?

Mantis

Abilities & Weapons: Empathy, Empathic Manipulation, Sleep Inducement
Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame

She was introduced as Ego’s servant, but following Ego’s demise, she joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. Mantis, unfortunately, isn’t a particularly strong player. She can detect other people’s emotions by touching them and manipulating their emotions on occasion.

Mantis was even able to keep Thanos calm for a bit, but her skills fall short next to the other characters.

Nick Fury

Abilities & Weapons: Master Tactician, Master Spy, Expert Marksman, Expert Combatant, SIG Sauer P226
Appearances: Iron Man 2, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, The Winter Soldier, Age of Ultron, Captain Marvel, Endgame

Nick Fury is a skilled warrior and thinker, as well as a capable field commander. He is in possession of technology that is years ahead of its time, including cutting-edge experimental weaponry, projected invisibility technology, and the capacity to walk through walls.

Due to the high cost of them, these powers have very limited windows of opportunity for their use.

Drax

Abilities & Weapons: Kylosian Physiology, Superhuman Durability, Dual Knives, Hadron Enforcer
Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame

Drax the Destroyer is a wrecking ball of destruction. He possesses superhuman strength, endurance, agility, and a healing factor that regenerates. Still, he can be injured and feel pain. Drax nearly drowned after being placed in a vat of yellow liquid after being beaten down by Ronan the Accuser.

A skilled fighter, Drax knows how to use blades. Drax is uncontrollably impulsive and will disregard any rationality if it gets in the way of his passion.

Rocket

Abilities & Weapons: Artificially Enhanced Physiology, Enhanced Intelligence, Expert Marksman, Master Pilot, Ion Cannon, Laser Cannon
Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame

Rocket has improved physical modifications that make him a force to be reckoned with. He possesses enhanced strength, endurance, perception, and agility. Rocket is certainly stronger than the ordinary raccoon, but not much stronger than the average human.

He’s at the intellectual level of a genius and is also a proficient pilot and marksman. Although he is bright and strong, he can also be selfish, vain and rather sloppy. He has been imprisoned several times.
