But after the release of WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it's pretty clear that the Scarlet Witch is among the most powerful. Wanda Maximoff has never truly been defeated, only "losing" to the combined forces of Doctor Strange, Wong, and America Chavez after realizing the error in her ways.
Wanda Maximoff is not only the most powerful character in the MCU but also one of the most terrifying. When we first met Wanda, we saw hints of a twisted side.
In the Infinity Conflict storyline, Astral Regulator Thanos defeated The One Above All. This was achieved by using the powerful artifacts of creation known as the Astral Regulators, which The One Above All created to prevent the universes from colliding with each other and causing destruction.
When it comes to the Avengers who can beat Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange is undoubtedly one of the most potent contenders. His ability to manipulate the fabric of reality and his mastery of the mystic arts make him a formidable adversary.
Wanda was still a formidable adversary, capable of tipping the scales in favor of Ultron (James Spader) or the Avengers, depending on who she was helping. Still, without her Chaos Magic from Marvel Comics, Wanda was not more powerful than Thor or Hulk.
Many superheroes consider Uatu The Watcher to be one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy. In fact, it is claimed that his clan could perish at their own chosen time, and if they feel like it, return to life simply by wishing it.
Tony Stark is the smartest of them all, having been responsible for some of the most incredible inventions to have ever graced the Marvel universe, including the Arc Reactor and one of the most sophisticated artificial intelligence systems known to man.
Grey, even without the Phoenix Force, is the most powerful mutant in the Marvel universe. Unlike Professor X, her powers go beyond telepathy and extend to telekinetic and psionic powers. Her telepathic, telekinetic, and psionic powers, have virtually no limit.
1 Galactus
Marvel has many powerful immortals, but few can match Galactus. The World Devourer controls the full might of the Power Cosmic, which gives him near complete control of energy and matter.
He Who Remains (aka Kang)
Kang is very easily more powerful than Doctor Strange, considering that a variant of him has overtaken every single universe, as is revealed in episode six of Loki (and somehow not at all addressed in Spider-Man: No Way Home).
God (One Above All)
The One Above All is the ultimate source of life and creation and the architect/creator of the Multiverse and everything that exists. The One Above All has stated that its "only weapon is love", which was further stated by the Watcher.
This revelation sheds light on how Wanda uses her powers, and she needs her sense of sight to control her hexes. If there's one superhero who can totally beat her, it would be Spider-Man.
However, with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Scarlet Witch's candidacy is thrown for a loop. That's because the film reaffirms the angry version of Wanda wouldn't have been able to kill Thanos.
The Scarlet Witch's magical abilities are simply unmatched by the other Avengers. DC's strongest hero is generally agreed to be Superman, who can take hits from just about any villain in the universe and dish them back 10 times harder.
Warning: Spoilers for All-Out Avengers #5Marvel's Spider-Man can officially defeat Captain Marvel with one of the most terrifying web attacks in recent memory - and something that seems too cruel for Peter Parker.
In Doctor Strange 2, Black Bolt's mouth was removed by Scarlet Witch. Panicked, Black Bolt tied to speak, causing his brain to implode from the power of his own voice, which was still destructive as ever. However, Black Bolt would likely have annihilated Wanda with a single word.
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.
Moon Knight's power level is often up for debate, but every night he demonstrates that he is capable of taking out each of the Avengers.
Hercules / Zeus
He ranks above Thor here because he's technically the stronger of the two. In fact, he is considered by many authorities to be the physically strongest character Marvel has ever created.
Hela Was Worthy Enough to Destroy Mjolnir
Many people other than Thor have wielded Mjolnir, including his sister Hela. But the impactful scene in Thor: Ragnarok depicts Hela catching Mjolnir in mid-air before then crushing it to pieces. Odin previously told Thor the power of the Uru metal had no equal.
The Scarlet Witch
The only thing more dangerous than an all-power, multiversal-capable being like Doctor Strange is one with nothing to lose and that's what Wanda amounts to in the wake of losing both the love of her life and their children.
