I am now halfway through the superhero films that Marvel has put out. I have been a fan since Iron Man came out in 2008. I wanted to be him and have the ability to fly and wear a suit of super armor. Looking forward to the other Marvel films such as Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Captain America, etc..I now ask the age-old question of Who is the strongest avenger?
Thoroughly looking through each film, every superhero has their own strengths and weaknesses. Thor has his hammer, Cap has his shield, Ant-Man has his shrink/grow suit. We all have our favorite avenger whether it be for their looks or powers. Allow me to break it down into who I believe is the strongest Avenger.
In the movie Thor: Ragnorok, when Thor tries to start up the ship to leave he tries to access the ship's control with the phrase "Strongest Avenger" and fails. It is not until Bruce Banner (Hulk) puts his hand on the panel in which the ship says "Welcome, strongest avenger". This isn't just a debate against Thor and Hulk though, everyone is involved.
If you take away Iron Man's suit then Tony Stark cannot lift as much as he could with the suit; same for Captain America since he was made in a lab. Carol Danvers in the same way-she got her powers from an engine. If you bring Hawkeye or Black Widow-my favorite avenger- into the field, they can do some lethal damage. Black Widow is a trained assassin who can-and has- killed many people, aliens, and robots with just her body...with the help of a handgun or two. Hawkeye is a muscle machine with good eye-hand coordination. He and Black Widow are the in the top three for strength, along with Thor.
As for Quicksilver, Vision, and Scarlet Witch..there isn't much strength here in my opinion. Quicksilver is fast-hence the name-and can only run fast. Vision needs the mind stone to get his powers and without it, he is only a human man with low to little amounts of strength.
You might be wondering "What about AntMan? or Spider-Man? They have suits which give them their strength so therefore, they are ruled out as not strong. The Guardians of the Galaxy are the same way. Although Gamora (rest in peace), Drax, and Nebula are all fairly strong. I would put Gamora above Nebula since we know that Gamora always won the fights against her growing up. Drax, however, is a strong one in my eyes, he takes every fight by storm and can pack a punch into an enemy. Oh and Peter Quill...don't even get me started.
Here are my top five strongest Avengers so far, in order from one to five it goes: Thor, Black Widow, Gamora, Hawkeye, NebulaI have Thor listed as my number one because even without his hammer-or ax- he is still a very powerful being. After all, he is in fact the god of thunder. Lots of power and strength come with that name. He can one punch most of his enemies without the help of his hammer or the use of lightning stricks.
