Marvel Characters Feats Collection
Yggdrasil (True Extent):
- Thor forced the World engine into motion while directly opposing the combined, full force of both the engine and Yggdrasil itself.
- Thor defeated MYTHOS, an entity empowered by the totality of Yggdrasil’s energy.
- As an infant, Thor’s cries were powerful enough to cause all of Yggdrasil to tremble.
- Enchantress’s magic came close to killing Yggdrasil with only Thor’s intervention prevented its destruction.
- Atlas bears the Heavens through a spiritual bond to the Axis Mundi, which manifests differently across pantheons with Yggdrasil being the Norse expression. Hercules once assumed this burden in Atlas’s stead.
- Surtur’s flames consumed all of Yggdrasil yet Odin was powerful enough to counteract and suppress them entirely.
- A full-scale battle between Hela and Mephisto was stated to risk triggering an omniversal cataclysm, surpassing even the devastation of Ragnarok..
Yggdrasil (Body):
- Thor shattered one of Yggdrasil’s roots, damaging the structure at its foundation.
- Wielding the Odinsword, Thor split the World Tree cleanly in two.
- Storm conjured a tempest around Yggdrasil so immense that it threatened to tear the World Tree apart.
- Odin and other skyfathers are described in Marvel: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know as possessing the power to destroy and subsequently recreate the Multiverse itself.
- The Stranger is consistently portrayed to be on par with the Abstracts. Which puts him above Cosmic Cubes the hierarchy of power.
Dormammu vs Trigon (Mid-High Diff): Dormammu’s victory is best understood through the sheer breadth and consistency of his hax advantage. As a Marvel god-tier entity with God Physiology, he is capable of embodying concepts and existing on an abstract level. His transmutation abilities can bypass even Faltine physiology, which itself circumvents conventional laws of matter. This allows Dormammu to directly counter Trigon’s comparable physical stats and render his shapeshifting largely irrelevant. Beyond that, he demonstrated conceptual alteration, having affected Lord Chaos who is one of the Abstracts. His power set is also notably more stable and comprehensive, including spatial and dimensional manipulation, void manipulation and existence erasure, battlefield removal, biological and soul manipulation, absorption, willpower usurpation, and astral projection. He stacks multiple forms of abstract existence and immortality, reinforced by high-godly regen fueled by worshippers within the Dark Dimension and on Earth. His Hellfire Magic further expands his hax suite, possess feats such as nullifying Thor’s mystical powers, damaging Phoenix Force hosts, wounding Shuma-Gorath and being acknowledged as superior to Mephisto, who required multiple hell-lords to even contend with him including Hela. With Hela and Mephisto's combined power can cause an Omniversal Armageddon housing Yggdrasil (6 Layers) and hold a portion of the Omniversal Flood caused by fragments of the First Firmament (6 Layers). Should be easily equal to Strange due to being his rival, with Stephen having feats of sustaining reality while it was being destroyed by the Nexus shatter (3 Layers). Basically, he just outstats, outhaxes and out-immortality (if that's a correct term).
Kyle Rayner vs Jean Grey (Low-Mid Diff): With more recent interpretations of Marvel’s cosmology, the Phoenix Force has been elevated into one of the main abstract. She exists well above the Beyond realm (2 Layers) and can individually contended with Black Winters, the same forces that overwhelmed Galactus, pressured Infinity, and the Queen of Nevers, the embodiment of possibility tied to the Land-of-Couldn’t-Be-Shouldn’t-Be (5 Layers). She has also been shown to harm Universal Eternity directly, causing pain to a being that encompasses all layers of Marvel’s structure, including Yggdrasil (6 Layers). In practice, the Phoenix Force has overwhelmed Thor, who scales to the full extent of Yggdrasil through feats such as pushing the World Engine, the Axis Mundi and superiority to Mephisto. Yggdrasil’s true reach extends to the House of Ideas (7 Layers), placing Phoenix firmly within that upper framework. She possesses Mystic and Astral physiology, advanced narrative and plot manipulation, broad magical hax affecting reality, information, and structure, resistance to existence erasure, strong telepathic defenses against emotional manipulation, soul interaction and the ability to transmute extreme substances such as the All-Black Necrosword. Honestly, Jean being established as the greatest already puts Kyle in a difficult position, given that his power set is fundamentally rooted in the emotional spectrum and empathy manipulation. While Kyle does have notable feats scaling to the Source via the Life Equation, those moments are isolated, whereas Jean’s baseline standing places her around 7 layers into High-Outer. The disparity between a consistent, innate scale and a one-time peak showing makes the matchup heavily unfavorable for Kyle.
Death Rider vs Godspeed (Low - Mid Diff): This matchup is fairly straightforward. While the Speed Force is undeniably potent, its effectiveness is heavily dependent on user skill and precision, which limits its consistency in direct confrontation. However, the Spirit of Vengeance physiology provides a far more stacked and innate baseline. It grants extreme immortality, resistance to existence erasure and effectively limitless stamina. Speed is not a major disadvantage either, as Ghost Riders can keep pace through tools like the Hell Cycle, while holding a clear edge in raw strength. This is supported by consistently matching Michael Badilino, who traded blows with Professor Hulk. Danny also absorbed the power of many Ghost Riders in defeating Johnny Blaze and wielded enough force to steal all the other remaining Spirit of Vengeance to contain all of them within himself. With that amount of power proved to be enough to overthrow the Skyfather Yahweh and rule over all of creation, as Zadkiel with that amount of power was also capable of shaking Heaven, Earth, Hell and even Asgard. Combined that with his dura neg that comes with Hellfire Magic, than Danny should just stomp Godspeed.
Adam Warlock vs Orion (Extreme Diff): Power-wise, Adam should still be broadly comparable to Orion. In base, Adam has defeated Mephisto within his own realm, a being who could damage Yggdrasil’s body (6 Layers) and has contained a portion of the Omniversal Flood (6 Layers). Stalemated the Stranger, one of the Cosmic Abstracts, no sold attacks from an angry Galactus and matched Omega Thanosi, who was described as equal to or even superior to Galactus in raw power. Physically, he has contended with an enraged Thor and fought Hercules, while also taken blows from Wonder Man. He has survived simultaneous attacks from Annihilus, Blastaar, and Syphon, with all of these feats placing base Adam well below his peak with the Infinity Gauntlet, which was forged with the combined power of thirty Cosmic Cubes. Each cubes are individually capable of overpowering Celestials and five of them could render Uni-Eternity catatonic. The Infinity Gauntlet also carries a wide range of hax that give him a clear advantage over Orion, with base Adam possessing potent mental abilities and resistances, as well as nigh-immunity to reality warping. Possess matter manipulation and soul-based hax, with the Karmic Staff for additional haxes such as redirecting energy attacks. Is able to heal himself, drain the power out of any technological machinery and could even hide his presence, to which not even Nebula wielding the Infinity Gauntlet could detect. Basically Adam has comparable stats with superior haxes, which should allow him the ability to score a win over Orion more times than not.
Superboy Prime vs Gwenpool: Enough with u/InterestingRatio's borderline slander and let's HEAR SOME FACTS! First off, the idea that Gwen is lacking in stats is pure nonsense. She physically KO’d Mephisto with a kick, took down Hulk alongside her clones, bullrushed through Ultron, Malekith and Magneto, cut through Marvel’s comic continuity itself to retrieve Mjolnir, and even wields causal hax capable of affecting the Universal-Eternity, pushing her scaling deep into High-Outerversal. She possess better methods of dimensional travel, an unending amount of clones across space and time to replace her if she dies and power nullification capable of negating Gamma Energy, which is an emanation of The Below Place, and equal realm in to the House of Ideas (7 Layers). Combined with Superboy Prime's incredibly inconsistent retcon punch which mind you, Gwen can just easily reverse it by retconning herself back to the status quo, she has undone entire events of the story by editing the panels like when she revived MODOK after killing him. And unlike SBP, Gwen's retcon powers is more potent than Franklin's whose attempt of retconning the story was still detected by Cerebro.
Doctor Manhattan vs Molecule Man (Mid - High Diff): This one also is fairly simple to me, unless something major is being overlooked. Manhattan’s reputation largely comes from his placement within DC’s context, mainly through the Darkest Knight overpowering Perpetua. While that does put him on a similar tier to Owen, and possibly even above him, it is also where his case mostly ends. There is very little beyond that single framework to draw from. Owen, by comparison, has repeatedly demonstrated his power across a wider range of encounters and circumstances. He has multiple feats against different opponents, all within a much more developed and consistent history. At the end of the day, they are essentially the same type of being with comparable abilities, but Owen has far more experience actually applying those powers against multiversal-level threats. And stats wise Owen should be even, he can construct the entire 8th iteration of Omniverse inside a miniscule box, end Lifebringer Galactus with a thought and absorbed Beyonders. Which already tells you what u need to know, he can also exploit Manhattan's weakness to tachyon particles by focusing them onto him, and thus shield himself from Manhattan's precognition. He's battled the Beyonder while mentally unstable, quickly understood how the Silver Surfer deployed his powers and neutralized Surfer’s sole viable win condition before finishing the fight, manage to relocate them into sub-space, convincingly selling the illusion that the Beyonder had succeeded, likely fooling the Beyonder himself. Later, when pursued by both the Avengers and the government, he devised a simple but effective escape by having his girlfriend use her heat-based abilities to power a balloon and slip away unnoticed.
Ego vs Mogo (High Diff): Look, I may look like Green Lantern hater or smth, but really there's not much to say here except Ego stat stomps. Ego has been Galactus' equal ever since the classic era of comics. Galactus' battle with the Scrier made Chaos War look like a joke in comparison, battled against the might of four Celestials, stalemated Mephisto in Hell, unharmed by the attacks of the In-Betweener and defeated an Infinity Gauntlet wielding Thanos. Galactus referred to Ego's power as being incalculable, with statements saying he was powerless against him while also losing against Ego in their second battle. Galactus though multiple times we've discussed, should scale to the M-Body abstracts and multiple feats of affecting the Omniverse, which would put Ego one or two layers into High-Outer, with absorption abilities that can counter Lantern constructs.
Drax vs King Shark (Low Diff): Low-tier herald vs mid-tier herald. Nanaue don’t really have any haxes to tip the scales. Similar to Barda vs Gamora, Drax just takes out Nanaue because he’s physically superior, backed by solid scaling to high-tier heralds like Thanos and Silver Surfer. Feats speak for themselves, he’s beaten Captain Marvel, gone toe-to-toe with the Hulk, held his own against Thor, shrugged off attacks from Genis-Vell, throttled the Silver Surfer and well.. you get the idea.
Amora the Enchantress vs Star Sapphire (Low Diff): Remember when Ratio tried to pull up Sue vs Sapphire nonsense and claimed she lost for “lacking physical stats”? Yeah, the situation here is totally different here. Amora can tank energy blasts from Seth, who once shook an entire plane of existence with Odin. She’s rivaled Hela and bounced back strong enough to assist Thor in fighting her. She’s taken attacks from Blaastar, hits from Ghost Rider and punches from Wonder Man, the same Wonder Man who can stagger Thor, stalemate Hulk, and beat up Atlas. And that’s before you factor in her magic, which is ridiculous. She’s strong enough to overwhelm Wanda, scorch Hela’s face, bypass Strange’s shields that can tank the violent impact of Dormammu and Eternity's battle, harm Nightmare (same one who imprisoned Eternity) and affect Robbie Reyes. Her defensive spells shrug off Loki’s magic and she can perform multiple haxes like soul, mind, and time manipulation with it. Not to mention her two standout feats which includes damaging Yggdrasil and doing it with Thor without abusing her spell! Okay, jokes aside, she now has Ullr’s Magical Fire in her possession, granting her basically running on plot permissions and full-on reality warping, high-end energy manipulation, and the usual grab-bag of “the story says you lose now” abilities.
Ultron vs Reverse Flash (Extreme Diff): From what I can tell, Ultron is functionally unkillable. His existence isn’t tied to a single body but to an endless network of backups, meaning destroying him once, or even dozens of times, accomplishes nothing. And it’s not like his bodies are fragile placeholders either. His higher-end forms scale to early consistent feats like tanking Mjolnir's attacks, shrugging off energy beams that have knocked out Hercules and Thor, and enduring combined assaults from Thor, Iron Man, and Firestar. Ultron has also outright contended with Adam Warlock, overpowered Sentry, defeated Scarlet Witch and on top of that wielded the Odinforce, granting him Odin’s full suite of abilities alongside god-tier stats. That alone pushes him into a bracket where brute force, reality warping, and cosmic authority are all on the table at once. And the usual panic button people bring up, time travel and acausality, doesn’t save anyone here. Final Form Ultron defeated Kang, who is vastly more skilled with time manipulation and whose entire shtick revolves around acausality. Kang outright failed to engineer a single timeline where he could beat Ultron. If someone whose whole existence is built on temporal dominance can’t outplay him. Put it together and the outcome is pretty clear. Hank Pym’s bastard, backed by Odinforce hax, god-tier stats, and an existence that refuses to stay dead, takes this decisively.
Supergirl vs Angela (Extreme Diff): Kara might edge her out in raw strength but Angela isn’t exactly helpless in a fight. She’s taken on the entire Guardians of the Galaxy lineup which included Gamora, Drax, and Groot simultaneously with ease. (Drax scales to high-tier heralds as previously mentioned). She stalemated Jane Foster, the same Jane who forced Gladiator to kneel. Defeated Skurge, Tyr, and Bor, with Skurge being strong enough to overpower Beta Ray Bill and Tyr matching Thor in combat. Angela even bested and killed Hela, who had the power to trigger an Omniversal Armageddon, leveling Asgard alongside Mephisto, which is something even Odin himself couldn’t touch. On top of that, her magical hax are Outerversal in potency and she can also regenerate from just a skeleton and send people across dimensions. She can bypass immortality and possess high-godly regen thanks to her god physiology through worshippers and prayers. Making this matchup tip to her favour overall, with near equal stats but superior haxes and magical attacks that can bypass Kryptonian's natural invulnerability.
Nova vs Stargirl (Mid Diff): He should upscale from Richard Rider due to the black helmet amplifying him beyond standard Novas, with Annihilus outright stating Richard is stronger than Quasar. Quasar can brawl against Adam Warlock, combat Silver Surfer and is considered an equal to Ronan the Accuser. Sam's durability is backed by tanking hits from Gamora, Cancerverse Ghost Rider, Beta Ray Bill and surviving prolonged beatings from Kluh (Hulk's Hulk). That cluster of feats reasonably places him anywhere from low multiversal up to high hyperversal. On top of raw stats, he has far greater experience as a space officer, with a much broader combat résumé across cosmic battlefields. That variety, paired with superior agility, gives him a consistent edge over Stargirl. Taken together, he should decisively take the matchup
Legion vs Crazy Jane (Extreme Diff): Legion possesses telepathy that outright surpasses Xavier’s, and Xavier himself can block mental intrusions from Moondragon when she wields the Mind Gem. Mother Righteous explicitly states that the Sword of Hope, sorcerers, machines, and even all mutants are meaningless before Legion’s power, expressing both fear and expectation that Legion could fully emerge. His clashes involving Uranos are described as transcending conventional action altogether, operating beyond physics, dueling through possibilities, bludgeoning timelines, potentially crushing multiverses and racing infinitely. Uranos himself is among the most powerful Eternals, capable of contending with Kronos, placing Legion firmly in that same extreme tier, with Legion himself could easily face and warp away Elder God. Elder Gods easily sits above the infinitely layered worlds within worlds that exists within the Marvel multiverse. He can also overpower Thor who can bullrush through Wanda tapping into the power of House of M, which can affect the entire Omniverse.
Hela vs Ares (High Diff): For Ares, his best showings are nothing to sneeze at. He’s beaten Highfather, nearly killed Wonder Woman, outright killed Hades. While Hela, alongside Mephisto was capable of triggering an Omniversal Armageddon that even Odin couldn’t fully match. With Blackheart admitting her power surpasses his, she has physically wrestled Thor and carved Odin’s soul. Scaling-wise, they’re essentially equals. Ares reaches Outerversal+ through the New Gods, while Hela cleanly scales through Asgard and Odin. Where the split happens is execution. Hela consistently shows better magic, more refined hax, and greater versatility in how she applies her power. Raw stats-wise, they’re even. In an actual fight, Hela’s toolkit gives her the edge, not because Ares is weak, but because she’s far more lethal with what she has.
Odin Borson: Tanked the full force of Casket of Ancient Winters, stated he could've broke out of the freezing seal if given time, it's power could freeze Hel all the way from Asgard. Shook the Infinite Embassy alongside Zeus, which sits above all dimensions and carved creation out of Ymir's corpse. While weakened battling Seth, tore the very fabric of the Multiverse and shook every plane in existence. Briefly matches Galactus and fought Utana Thoth who can hold together a dying universe. Could ripoff the tenth realm and imprisoned it inside a universe sized prison and bested Mother Storm in a prolong battle, who is considered peer to the Black Winter, Kings in Black and even the Phoenix Force, said Mother Storm is heavily feared by the Phoenix and manage to resist the Phoenix as well, with her power resting within Mjolnir can also knockout the All Black Symbiote out of Malekith's body. Tank Surtur's flames and when cutoff from the infinite amp provided by his Twilight Sword, quickly overpowered him. Odin while getting laid somehow manage to kill him then later nullifies his remaining flames which threatened to burn down Yggdrasil. Beat the living crap out of Cul who was amped by humanity's collective fears and Yggdrasil's magic, despite Cul being portrayed as above all Hell-and Fear-Lords including Mephisto who is scared shitless of him. Easily one-shots Hela, who could tilt Valhalla which sits above both Hel and Niffleheim. Can create and command the Bifrost Bridge to entrap Surtur, with the Bifrost Bridge also capable restraining Mangog fused Mother Storm when used by Thor. Hold his own against Infinity and later defeated and absorbed, then reversed the destruction caused by him, which is confirmed to be the literal Abstract Infinity who fused with Odin's aspect. Matched Thanos while effortlessly one-shotting Drax the Destroyer and Silver Surfer. Drax around this time no sold a blast from an enraged Surfer and Norrin can endure a beam empowered by all Infinity Stones. Tank the Twilight Sword from Surtur, who easily shattered the Bifrost Bridge with it a few pages earlier, and shook the nine realms during their clash. When weakened, matched Jane Foster, endured prolong beatings from Mangog who earlier made short work of the Destroyer Armour. Later despite the injuries, he was still strong enough to effectively harnessed the power of Mother Storm alongside Thor in reviving Jane. While old and drunk, tanked Robbie Reyes' hellfire unscathed.
