Which Avenger is actually Earth's Mightiest Hero?

The Avengers have long been cited as Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but given the scope of the organization's roster over the years, it's not fair to say that every member is on the same level in terms of power. While they are all amazing superheroes, there are some who are far more powerful than most.

That being said, the roster for the Avengers has grown so much since the organization was created back in 1963's The Avengers #1, that it could be said nearly every superhero (and some supervillains) have been card-carrying members of the team at one time or another.

Giants like Thor, Iron Man, and... well, Giant Man have all called themselves members over the years, but who is the most powerful of them all?

Determining that means diving through the whole roster, and while not every superhero to have joined the Avengers has stuck around for long - in some case they may have even joined different groups altogether - they're still Avengers all the same.

To that end, some of these figures - no matter how brief their tenure with Earth's Mightiest Heroes - have used their immense power to make a startling impact on the group. Here are the most powerful of all...

10. Storm

Fans know Storm well from her time as a member of the X-Men, but that's not the only group Ororo Monroe has joined over the years. Like many others in the Marvel Universe, she has joined forces with Earth's Mightiest Heroes to become one of the Avengers.

She joined up with the team back in 2011's Avengers #19 to help increase their ranks to combat the forces of Norman Osborn and HAMMER. At the time, she was the Queen of Wakanda, and it was her husband T'Challa who recommended her to the team.

Eventually, her time in the Avengers ended when the Avengers vs. X-Men event came about, but while she was on the rolls, she was easily one of their most powerful members.

In terms of power, Storm has the ability to completely control the weather through a unique form of psionic manipulation. This means she can control the atmospheric pressure, modify the temperature of a large area, form any type of weather pattern she desires, shoot off intense bolts of lightning, and fly about with ease. In addition to her vast array of Mutant abilities, she has proven herself to be a brilliant tactician and military leader.
