10 Most Powerful X-Men Who Will Change The MCU Forever
The X-Men are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and nothing will be the same again!
Due to current world events, Marvel Studios' entire Phase 4 slate has been postponed. That's obviously disappointing, but a bigger issue than waiting a few extra months to see these movies is the fact that it will have obviously delayed the X-Men's planned arrival in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There's been no word on when and where that will happen (Eternals has been suggested as one strong possibility), but when mutants do become part of this shared world, it's no exaggeration to say that nothing will ever be the same again. The MCU will soon be unrecognisable, and the presence of these characters promises to be a game-changer for pretty much every major franchise.
A big part of that is the fact that there are some incredibly powerful mutants who will make many of the villains heroes like Captain America and Iron Man have faced in the past look like real lightweights. More powerful good guys will lead to the emergence of even more formidable baddies, and there are plenty of those in the world of the X-Men as well.
Here, you'll find not just the ten most powerful X-Men, but those who promises to have a lasting impact on the MCU and change these stories in ways "hitherto undreamt of" (to quote Doctor Strange).
10. Wolverine
Hugh Jackman was iconic as Wolverine, but his time as the clawed mutant came to an end in 2017's Logan. Now, it's time for Marvel Studios to find a new actor to pick up the mantle, and while that will be no easy task, they've never failed to exceed expectations in terms of casting (no one could have ever imagined how great Chris Evans would be as Captain America, for example).
This wasn't fully explored in Fox's X-Men movies, but Wolverine is unkillable, and can recover from being reduced to little more than a skeleton; in fact, it's believed that the only way to truly kill the hero is to separate his head from his body and keep them apart.
There's no one in the MCU with regenerative abilities like that, and a hero who can overcome anything means that The Avengers just got that little bit more powerful. Just imagine Wolverine taking on a Thanos or Ultron, and it's easy enough to see how he could have helped turn the tide for Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
