Every MCU Avenger Ranked From Weakest To Strongest
Has Thor been right all along?
Back in 2012, when Earth's Mightiest Heroes first assembled and numbered just six, there was a clear hierarchy of power. The demigod, the super soldier, the man with breathtaking anger issues, the two master assassins, and the genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist all knew where they stood.
As the team has grown in the years since however, the lines have become far more blurred, with more heroes and their unique powers entering the picture. While Thor has always thought of himself as the strongest Avenger, and likely would to this day, it may not quite be true.
Since battling Loki, the Avengers have added a few infinity stone powered individuals, a couple of airborne heroes, and even two Guardians of the Galaxy to their ranks, all of which have proved themselves incredibly powerful. But who really takes the crown of the strongest Avenger?
This list focuses purely on the Avengers themselves, not those who have fought side by side with the team over the years. Despite how high they may have ranked, there will be no Bucky, no T'Challa, and no Doctor Strange, as they were never officially members of the team.
17. Rocket Raccoon
When Rocket Raccoon was introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he couldn't have been further from an Avenger. The little creature acted as a bounty hunter, had escaped from multiple prisons in his lifetime, and would betray or sell anybody out if he would stand to gain some personal benefit.
However, from the time Thanos snapped his fingers in Wakanda and through the five year time jump in Endgame, Rocket became a big part of the team. He was one of just three Avengers that patrolled the reaches of space, covering a lot of territory, and likely took point on much of the team's technological advances in the absence of Tony Stark.
Important though he may have been however, he certainly lacked in terms of strength when compared to his teammates. Just like during his time with the Guardians, Rocket helped the team in other ways.
The creature, tiny in stature, has always had to rely on weapons and technology whenever caught in a fight. His solution to which was to utilise Groot as his personal bodyguard and muscle. Rocket has always been the brains of the operation, never the brawn.
