The Ultimate Avenger: Can Any Earth-Born Hero Best Doctor Strange or Wanda Maximoff?

In the vast universe of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), no hero is more powerful than Doctor Strange or Wanda Maximoff (A.K.A. The Scarlet Witch). But if we were to imagine, which Avenger born on Earth can stand a chance against these formidable heroes? Let’s dive into the analysis.

Can Any MCU Hero Compete Against Doctor Strange or Wanda Maximoff?

The question of whether any MCU hero can compete against Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff is a fascinating one. If considering heroes born on Earth, we must narrow down our options.

Thor: A Legendary Stand-In

Thor, the God of Thunder, has a decent chance of competing against both Doctor Strange and The Scarlet Witch. He has an 8/10 chance of beating Doctor Strange, thanks to his godly strength and magical abilities. However, with Wanda Maximoff, the odds slightly drop to 6/10. While Thor can certainly compete, the odds suggest he might not always come out on top against Wanda.

The Hulk: Strength Unleashed

The Hulk, with his incredible strength, stands out as a hero born on Earth. Despite not having any other powers in the MCU, his strength is unparalleled. While he may not win against either Doctor Strange or Wanda Maximoff, he can certainly compete with them both. Wanda’s powers are mostly based on telekinesis and energy blasts, and this could present a challenge but not an insurmountable one for the Hulk. Considering most of Wanda's abilities, overpowering the Hulk might prove extremely difficult.

Iron Man: Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist, and Genius

Besides his incredible suit and tech prowess, Tony Stark (Iron Man) is also considered a genius. He might have a slight edge in defeating Wanda, although he would likely give Strange a good fight. However, it is impossible to envision a fight between Iron Man and Doctor Strange without picturing their witty banter transforming into a fierce physical battle.

Ant-Man: The Sneak Attack Specialist

While Ant-Man (Scott Lang) and Wanda Maximoff could potentially meet in a CSS (Close-Quarters-Sneak-Attack) scenario, Ant-Man’s size-changing abilities provide him with an element of surprise. However, this advantage might be negated quickly if Wanda decides to unleash her full powers against him.

Thor: Love and Thunder: Does it Change the Game?

Thor: Love and Thunder might introduce a new version of Thor, Jane Foster, wielding Mjolnir and empowered by the God of Thunder’s essence. While this could be an interesting development, the current Thor in the MCU (also Mjolnir’s wielder) seems to be more powerful than both Captain America and Jane Foster. Without concrete evidence from the MCU, it remains speculative whether Jane Foster, as a new-born protagonist, can match the power of Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff.

The Altered Reality: Strange Supreme

In an alternate reality within the MCU, Doctor Strange might appear as Strange Supreme, a formidable entity that could theoretically take on both heroes alone. However, in the current universe, we can only speculate based on the heroes born on Earth.

While the MCU does not provide a clear comparison of these heroes beyond direct mentions, there is a strong possibility that the current Thor could face significant challenges against Wanda Maximoff, and Iron Man and The Hulk would likely hold their own. The battle between Doctor Strange and Iron Man remains a tantalizing concept that fans can only hope to see in future crossover events.

Key Takeaways

1. Thor has a good chance of competing against both Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff, but the odds might not always be in his favor.

2. The Hulk, with his incredible strength, can certainly compete with both heroes but might not always come out on top.

3. Iron Man, with his genius and advanced technology, might provide a strong counter to Wanda but would face a formidable challenge against Doctor Strange.

4. Ant-Man and other lesser-known heroes might have a chance with sneak attacks or specific powers, but they are unlikely to outclass these two powerful heroes.

So, while the idea of any Earth-born hero besting Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff is an exciting one, the current evidence points towards a different outcome. However, the MCU continues to explore new possibilities, making speculation ever more intriguing for fans.
