Scarlet Witch is indeed powerful and has overpowered magical abilities that make her a threat in both the comics and the MCU. But the thing is that Dark Phoenix is a threat to the entire universe as her powers are cosmic-level. In that regard, it is easy to see why Dark Phoenix is the more powerful character.
That power gap was made evident in the comics. Reportedly, Wanda took on the X-Men in an issue of X-Men Forever 2, with Jean Grey in the mix. Using her magic, Wanda was able to completely incapacitate Jean with relative ease.
Despite being overpowered by the combined efforts of various heroes even recently in the pages of Eternals, there is no doubt that Thanos could destroy the Phoenix if it were just the two of them.
One of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Universe, Scarlet Witch is one of the only characters who can match the Phoenix in sheer willpower alone.
Scarlet Witch has the ability to resist the Phoenix Force and can cause pain to its hosts. When Cyclops killed Professor X, he took on the persona of the Dark Phoenix, forcing Wanda and Hope Summers to join their powers and take him down.
We rated the strength of each Avenger on a scale of 1 to 10, using evidence from the 23 movies. Scarlet Witch was ranked the strongest. Captain Marvel and Thor rounded out the top three.
While the Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, her greatest weakness proves even Spider-Man can beat her.
Wanda was considered to be the Nexus Being of Earth-616, but there were still forces far more powerful than her. Perhaps the most obvious character that was more powerful than the Scarlet Witch was the One Above All, who acted as the "god" of the Marvel universe.
Chthon Possesses Her
The Scarlet Witch loses a major battle as well as her agency to Chthon in Avengers #185-187, a powerful demon who authored the Darkhold. Chthon, among the most powerful magical beings in the Marvel Universe, attempted to use Wanda as a vehicle to enter the world the night of her birth.
Scarlet Witch is one of the most powerful characters in the MCU, and Moon Knight's powers barely compare to hers. While he does have supernatural abilities, Wanda Maximoff's reality-bending powers would make easy work of Marc Spector.
Black Bolt could practically level an entire planet with one scream, so it would interesting to see how Wanda would handle such a powerful force coming her way. It is easy to think Wanda's abilities would find a way, but there is always the chance that Black Bolt could overwhelm her enough to destroy her in a fight.
Both are extremely powerful, but in Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Wanda demonstrates the extent of her powers like never before. So in terms of raw force, she is definitely the more powerful of the two. Stephen, however, benefits from years of training as the Sorcerer Supreme.
While Captain Marvel received her powers after being exposed to an Infinity Stone, WandaVision reveals that Wanda's exposure to the Mind Stone amplified powers she was unaware she had already possessed. As the Scarlet Witch, Wanda has had the ability to use Chaos Magic since birth.
That's not to say Loki would crumble. Physically, he is stronger than Scarlet Witch, but if these two titans ever go up against each other in the battlefield of the mind, I think Scarlet Witch will come out on top — at least the first time. You can fool Loki once, but he is nothing if not infinitely adaptable.
There is no stronger force than creation itself, and in Marvel Comics, this force is represented by the One-Above-All.
1. Arishem. One of the Celestials, Arishem the Judge is a being of such immense power that humans can only vaguely grasp what he's actually capable of. Arishem is so powerful that he created the Eternals, a race of beings that, in and of themselves, are also incredibly powerful.
She is a powerful mutant who is able to use her powers to bend the light around her. However, she is also vulnerable to dark energy which is a form of dark matter. This makes her weak against telepaths, psychics, sorcerers, and even the dark side of the force.
5/15 Scarlet Witch Is A Reality Warping Magic-User Who Outpowers The Highly Skilled Doctor Strange. Wanda Maximoff is one of the only superhumans in Marvel Comics who is considered to be a Celestial being due to her incredible superpowers.
2/10 LOSE TO: Scarlet Witch Would Wipe Him From Existence
Right now, she's still a relative novice with her improved abilities. Once Wanda learns how to use them properly, there's a good chance that she will be unstoppable. Much like Hela, Scarlet Witch would simply overpower him.
Without any superpowers, Batman is at a massive disadvantage as he would have to rely on his combat prowess to best Wanda. However, he would have a hard time getting close before she shreds through his armor with a massive blast of energy.
Scarlet Witch
She has also defeated the Phoenix Force in battle. When the Phoenix took over Scott Summers, Wanda was able to not only eject the powerful entity from him but also undo the damage it has caused and cast the being out of the world by simply uttering, "No more Phoenix."
Moon Knight is less powerful compared to Thor, but in a one-on-one fight with Thor, Khonshu would win. Odin is the one major exception to this, as things like the Odinforce elevate him to the same level as the Egyptian gods.
