Marvel: The most powerful Avengers ranked from worst to best

3. Thor

When it comes to raw power, Thor takes the crown and wears it like a mighty god. With his divine abilities and practically eternal life, he stands tall as the most formidable member of the original Avengers lineup. Not only can he soar through the skies with his thunderous wings, traversing realms that most of us can only dream of, but he’s also the one who ultimately showed Thanos who’s boss. A little too late, but hey, he did it.

He may be the God of Lightning, but Thor’s power is far from static. It’s like an unstoppable force that keeps on surging. Ok, I’ll stop. Sure, he often wields a magnificent weapon to channel his godly might, like his trusty hammer Mjolnir or Stormbreaker. But those weapons are just the cherry on top. Thor himself is incredibly strong and powerful, armed or not. Just his arrival on the battlefield is enough to shift the tides in favor of our heroes.

Whether he’s summoning lightning bolts with his bare hands or wielding a weapon fit for a deity, Thor is a true powerhouse who brings the thunder in every sense of the word.
