MCU Power Ranking

The world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t built on simple heroics — it’s built on escalation. Gods clash with titans. Super soldiers fight alongside sorcerers. Billionaires in armor stand next to literal cosmic entities. Some characters dominate street-level conflicts but disappear the moment the battlefield expands. Others seem grounded until their abilities scale to planetary — or even universal — stakes. And then there are the few whose power reshapes reality itself, operating on a level where entire armies become background noise.

This ranking evaluates characters strictly by their live-action MCU appearances. No comic feats. No alternate versions unless shown on screen. No what-ifs or outside scaling.
