10 Avengers Enemies That Are MORE Powerful Than Thanos
8. Annihilus
Insects are grim. Really grim. They swarm in ludicrous numbers, they devour everything in their path and they're a pretty massive nuisance when you're trying to have a nice jam sandwich at a picnic.
Now, imagine all of that with the added powers of immortality and brain power that gives Tony Stark a run for his money. Makes your skin crawl.
Annihilus is the self-proclaimed ruler of The Negative Zone, a universe composed purely of antimatter that exists on the dimensional fringes of the Marvel Universe.
Boasting a variety of abilities such as flight, insectoid armour, resistance to the vacuum of space and even a cyclical death-into-rebirth life cycle that prevents him from ever truly dying, Annihilus seems to have a fairly standard array of superpowers.
What puts him above is his primary weapon and Negative Zone status symbol; The Cosmic Control Rod.
The Rod grants him various powers. Firstly, he has manipulation over matter and anti-matter, and can slow his cellular ageing to a degree of almost stopping it completely.
It doesn't stop there, as he can also teleport anything from himself to an entire armada across the Negative Zone or even between universes with relative ease, and even offers him a degree of strength and power augmentation in order to vastly boost his own abilities.
With an army like a plague of locusts, Annihilus could very well strip the universe of everything and claim it for himself.
