Let ’s face it – the Marvel Universe is a   very dangerous seat . It ’s fill with all sort of powerful supervillains who can do anything from rob a money box to chow down on the multiverse for breakfast – god serve us when they get to tiffin .

AsAvengers : Infinity Warwill   no doubt examine to those who have n’t interpret the comics , the insane Titan bed as Thanos is undoubtedly one the most terrifying of a terrifying gang .   The MCU ’s   determination to make the death - loving demi - god Thanos a focal breaker point for Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes is will to that . But what about all the other baddies lying in wait across the broader Marvel pantheon ?

Believe it or not , there ’s tidy sum of nemeses our favourite superheroes could face who are even tough than the cosmic violet monster . Who will the Avengers face off against once they take Thanos down ?

Here are15 wonder Villains Who Are WAY More Powerful Than Thanos .

15. Galactus

Do we even have to say it ? This guy Galactus – he ’s as older as the universe ! And he eats planets . That ’s all he ’s done , for billion of years now . He flies around infinite in a giant metal association football orchis ( age before theStar WarsDeath Star ) and chomps down on intact worlds . Oh , and sometimes fight theFantastic Four .

Galactus has   been described as a “ force of nature ” byThor ’s brawny dad , Odin . So decease up against him is like taking on … physics . Good lot with that !

This dude is so powerful , he make herald likeSilver Surfer , Firelord , Terrax – all tough enough to take on stack of earth ’s mightiest . And like Thanos , he wears a weird purple outfit . In fashion , they are more like equal .

14. Mephisto

The Devil ? Well , Mephisto is in spades a Prince of Darkness in the Marvel Universe , but there others too . It all gets jolly confusing , but answer to say , he is the personification of all evil , he does lord over a diabolical land full of demons , and he is pretty unstoppable .

Mephisto is a really icky dude who has a lot of exponent over space and sentence . He ’s   even able-bodied to change past events to rewrite history , as we found out in the infamousSpider - Manstory , “ One More Day ” which effectively erase the matrimony of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson ( gratuitous to say , fans were n’t felicitous with that one ) .

Mephisto ca n’t really expire , and even though everybody fromDoctor Strangeto theHulkhas fight him to a stalemate at times , it seems like that ’s more at his caprice than because anybody can actually beat him .

13. Beyonder

We do n’t care what anyone says – the Beyonder is one of the cockamamie supervillains ever . Originally dreamed up as an excuse for all the Marvel superheroes to agitate each other for no honorable ground in theSecret Warsseries , what he is and what he can do has gotten right smart out of hand .

essentially , the Beyonder is the sum sum of a multiverse . Not just a creation – a whole freaking bunch of them . And he ’s reasonably much omnipotent . In fact , his whole wash runs around creating universes . Thanos can do a deal of things , but creating a whole bunch of universe of discourse is n’t on his resume . Beyonder : 1 , Thanos : 0 .

There has been a retconned version where he ’s actually anInhuman / mutant hybrid - maybe that   version Thanos could take .

Doctor Doom and Franklin Richards can defeat Thanos

12. Phoenix

Okay , so we already know that Galactus deplete planets , but he ’s also pretty much a regular   feller otherwise . He even wore underdrawers back in the day ! The Phoenix Force levels up from there . This cosmic baddie in reality runs around suckle down total principal like they were Big Gulps .

develop in the pages of theX - Men , and soon to hit the braggart screen withX - Men : Dark Phoenix , this all - eat up cognizance was initially host by Jean Grey , but has seduced a whole lot of other hosts – even Professor X.

Unlike Galactus , the Phoenix is n’t serve well a higher determination ; it ’s just a glutton . The more stars the Phoenix eats , the more it want . Its ultimate expression would consume the world itself – which is where Thanos happens to hold out – so yeah , the Titan would just be another repast like the rest of us .

Galactus

11. Dormammu

Does Dormammu count as another Marvel Universe “ ogre ? ” Well , he does fit the circular in many ways . thoroughgoing evil , rein his own realm , commands an army of asinine demons – check . He ’s well Dr. Strange ’s toughest curse , and commands top - level mystic energies that can unravel the material of realness . Like all malefic Marvel gods , he ’s got his sites set up on refashion the universe of discourse in his own image , and has come tight to getting the job done many a time . Thanos taking Dormammu on mano - amano would be an interesting match-up , but at the end of the day , the ardour - headed overlord of the Dark Dimension would win that arm wrestling contest .

10. Doctor Doom

Arguably the greatest supervillain of all time , the Fantastic Four ’s most dangerous enemy is a force to be consider with .   Doctor Doom   is sort of an evil mash - up of Reed Richards , Tony Stark , and Stephen Strange , with an matchless mind , unbeatable grasp of technical school , and access to occult powers .

Besides time travelling , safari of worldwide conquest , and ranking manipulation skills , Doom has successfully stolen the power cosmic from the Silver Surfer , taken the Beyonder ’s might , and evensent Franklin Richards to pit . In forgetful , he ’s drive , superb and unendingly resourceful . He always fancy out how to do the impossible . And that would include take out Thanos .

9. Death

guy wire – this is Death . As in dead as a doornail Death . As inFinal DestinationDeath . Nobody is stop this lady ( the gender assign to her in the Marvel Universe ) and she will be around so long as there is life .

We all know that Thanos is deeply in love with this prima donna of death   - so much so that he once used the Infinity Gauntlet to sacrifice one-half of all spirit in the universe just to score some points with her . To the two of them , 50 % of living things were basically a bouquet of blossom and a corner of candy .

The thing is , while Death seldom takes on Marvel grinder directly , she is   always manipulating Thanos into lead on wandflower - spanning execution sprees on her behalf . If one day , she wants the whole of creation gone , she can get her on - again , off - again boyfriend to do the job and while Thanos can be beaten , Death for sure can not .

Mephisto

8. The In-Betweener

The Marvel Universe has a fairly wide field of on the face of it all-powerful old - god cosmic figures whose very existence is deep woven into the nature of the macrocosm itself . And some of them are really big jerks .

The ego - do In - Betweener is one of the bigger of those jerk . Personifying the nature of duality , he ’s supposed to be an federal agent for yet another exercise set of elder gods , Lord Chaos and Master Order . But more often than not , he moonlights in his own schema . He ’s tried to ensure that Adam Warlock would germinate in Magus , an alternative hereafter - self who ’s pure iniquity . And one time , he tried to take over Galactus ’ job as universal major planet feeder .

Yeah , Thanos is tough , but against the living cosmic Othello cookie , perhaps not so much .

7. Surtur

Remember we said that Marvel kind of has a lot of devils ? Well , the Asgardians have their own version of a fiery underlord . Thebeastly Surtur is pretty much actually made of pure primeval evil fervor . In fact , his whole realm – Muspelheim ( which sound suspiciously like “ Mephisto ” by the way ) – is made of vicious fire , as are his monumental army of fiend .

Surtur ’s whole rationality for being is to climb out of his infernal region , grab a giant sword , light it on fire , and apply it to set the full universe reddened , just burn the whole thing down ( which is basically whatThor : Ragnarokis all about ) . Mr. Hot - Stuff has also fought Odin to a standstill , trash Asgard , and come close on multiple occasion to winning the Best Arsonist Ever award . If Thanos tried to take on this flaming super - demon , he ’d be toast .

6. Korvac

In life ,   you start as a child , grow into adulthood , and then immix with future tech to become a bionic woman and at long last bloom into an unstoppable cosmic god . At least that ’s how it went for a guy name Michael Korvac .

This time - travelling Zion - seeker pass away through some reasonably serious evolution from being simply human . Getting upgrade from a sensation tech dude to a powerful sentient motorcar , Korvac uses his adaptation of Google Analytics to steal secret from the Elder Gods and even Galactus himself . So besides being super - strong , crack - smart , and super - determined , he ’s also stick the Power Cosmic , making him as unvanquishable as Galactus – thus making Thanos a piece of cake by comparison .

5. Mikaboshi

Mikaboshi is no slouch and certainly outdo Thanos . And since he ’s also a lord of the dead , live in the land of the dead – who cognize ? Thanos could even end up worshipping him !

4. Mangog

He ’s expectant . He ’s surly and he has kicked Thor ’s butt . He ’s also beat Asgard down , pretty much single - handedly .

This is a   monster which distinguish itself as the hatred of a billion - billion beings from another satellite – basically every anger direction display case from an integral race of alien . And his version of route rage is to grab that profit sword in Asgard and destruct everything ( yes , the same brand Surtur is always after ) . While Thor has been able to bear Mangog back , it study Odin to dispatch this seriously hostile extraterrestrial .

We are pretty sure that if this gallant can take out the hosts of Asgard , he can somewhat much deck Thanos . And , oh , so long as there is hate in the universe , he ca n’t ever die . Good luck with that !

Dark Pheonix Saga

3. Abraxas

Another cosmic god - like entity swim around the Marvel Universe , the easiest way to mean of Abraxas is as a form of deity made of antimatter . As the support avatar of universal destruction , it twist out that the entire reason that Galactus do into being in the first place was to keep this guy from blowing up the whole show . If you need a space - cop that powerful to keep the mean streets of realism safe for the rest of us , it ’s safe to say , this is one bad man . Or entity .

Can he take down Thanos ? Since Abraxas has inexhaustible power and go face to face with Eternity itself , we say , yeah , he can take the Mad Titan down without breaking a sweat . If he sweat , that is .

2. Celestials

Why just settle on one space god here or another space god there , when the Celestials are a whole danged backwash of quad graven image ? And they also happen to beGodzilla - sized distance Supreme Being .

Born way back when the universe started , these towering humanoid figures are basically cosmic maverick determined to thwart the original order set down by the Creator ; pretty much responsible for start that whole life - expiry - evolution affair . They plant themselves as eggs on planet , hold off jillion of years to see how it evolves , then judge whether it gets to survive or not . A thumbs - down agency – windfall ! – planet destroyed .

As much of a plotter and cosmic operator as Thanos may be , he ’s get several aeon of catching up to do to fit the Celestials .

Doctor Strange - Dormammu

1. Franklin Richards

blab out about unsound molecules ! Easily one of the most out - there characters in the Marvel Universe , the eldest child of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman , Franklin Richards was not only born an incredibly herculean mutant ,   but also inherited some of those Fantastic Four cosmic ray from his parent .

So what are his powers ? Well … almost anything . After all , this is a kid who created an intact macrocosm out of boredom without even trying .

Like all children , he does n’t know his own strength . One clip , he got so out of control , his large - brain daddy had to shut down his brain and move around him into a vegetable . Another clock time , he basically made himself into god and had to be talked out of becoming the Supreme Being . And in the alternating - timelineEarth Xepic , Franklin became Galactus !

Dr. Doom

Is he a villain ? Not in the normal sense , although he for sure does make out close to universe - killing a lot . tough than Thanos ? Whatever this kid ’s ultimate power are , they ’re already right smart off the Thanos scale . He could be a good sitter for Franklin , though .
