10 Scariest Moments In MCU History
5. Wanda Vs. The Illuminati - Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness
Has there ever been a hero, or even a team of heroes, that was dispatched as quickly, as easily, and with as little remorse as the Illuminati? Captain Marvel said that the team could handle Wanda if she came dreamwalking, but she could not have been more wrong.
Arguably, Maria Rambeau got off the lightest after giving the best fight, as she was only crushed by a statue. Not great, obviously, but you’d rather have been in her shoes than any of the others. Captain Carter was sliced in half by her own shield after all, and even she could count herself lucky.
The toughest to watch were the deaths of Reed Richards, Charles Xavier, and Black Bolt. The former was turned into spaghetti once Wanda was assured she would not be making orphans of his children, before Charles Xavier had his neck snapped by an almost zombified version of the Scarlet Witch.
Then there was Black Bolt, who was on a whole different level completely. Wanda used her powers to remove his mouth entirely, which caused him to scream and literally blow his own brains with the power that could have destroyed a planet. The image of his skull caving in will stick with audiences for years to come.
