Thor and Captain America will appear in Avengers Endgame on April 26 Thor and Captain America will appear in Avengers Endgame on April 26

Ever since Captain Marvel hit theatres, the buzz has been that she is the strongest Avenger now. While previously, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that mantle was held by the Hulk as we learned in Thor: Ragnarok, even Kevin Feige has confirmed that Captain Marvel is the strongest and will lead the Avengers going forward in Phase 4.

However, is she going to be the strongest Marvel superhero in Avengers: Endgame? We disagree because of the following reasons:

Firstly, after watching Captain Marvel, there was no real proof evidence shown that she is stronger than the Hulk or Thor. One can make the argument that she literally blasted through a Ronin: The Accuser’s spaceship. But we have seen Hulk do that as well in Marvel’s Avengers (2012) and again Thor do the same with his new found axe, Strombreaker, in Avengers: Infinity War.

Add to that, even after she displayed her full strength, she took some blows from her Kree Starforce teammates, during their last battle in Captain Marvel. However, Thor was unstoppable in Avengers: Infinity War after he got Stormbreaker. He was beating his opponents like cattle when he landed in Wakanda.

Moreover, Thor’s new weapon is powerful enough to summon the bifrost, something even the Infinity Stones are unable to do. Captain Marvel gets her power from an Infinity Stone – the space stone which was in the Tesseract. So her powers are probably at the same level as Scarlet Witch or as she is known in the MCU, Wanda Maximoff.

Finally, Captain Marvel is yet to go against a fully powerful Thanos with all-six stones in his Infinity Gauntlet. So, we don’t yet know if she’ll be able to withstand that kind of power and still hold her own. But we know that Thor can. After Thanos literally manhandled the likes of Captain America, Black Panther, Hulk Buster, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Groot, War Machine, Iron Man, Starlord, Drax, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and several others, Thor, took him on put an axe in his chest in one attempt.

Even the full power of all-six Infinity Stones weren’t able to stop the strombreaker from hitting Thanos’ chest. Honestly, a few inches above or as Thanos revealed: ‘You should have gone for the head’ and it would have been all over for the Mad Titan and no one would have been decimated. So, it is pretty clear that Thor is, at this point, the strongest Avenger and not Captain Marvel.

Well, guess we'll find out who is the strongest Avenger in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, which is set to hit theatres on April 26.
