25 Most Powerful Characters In MCU Movies (So Far)

Though he's a pretty unconventional hero, the revelation of Peter Quill's real parentage in Guardians of The Galaxy Vol 2 turns him into a real power player.

And sure, though he subsequently loses part of that power when he wipes out its power source (no spoilers here, but just know that it's an almighty wrench for him), he's still a part-Celestial, which means he's still fundamentally very powerful.

He proved in the first movie that he's capable of wielding an Infinity Stone, and though the Light that gives him some new eye-catching powers in the sequel goes out, you have to suspect his genetics ensure he's still very powerful. He's also one of the MCU's biggest wildcards.
