MCU Phase 4: Predicting Every Major Character That Will Join
11. Annihilus
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #6
Of all the cosmic events that could possibly follow Infinity War, Annihilation is probably the only one that could dare match the scale of Thanos' story. It's truly epic, and while it doesn't bridge together the entire Marvel Universe the way Infinity Gauntlet did in 1991, its influence on the cosmic corners of the Marvel Universe is noteworthy for several years.
The comic itself brought together countless characters from Marvel's sci-fi comics, and the threat who was responsible was a being called Annihilus, who made his intentions immediately clear when he decimated the entire Nova Corps just as the story got going.
The character embarks on a brutal campaign of conquest that reaches almost every corner of the Marvel Universe as it finishes, with Annihilus' war peaking with the capture and subsequent weaponisation of Galactus, a character once thought to be the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe.
It's an ambitious read to say the least, and while Earth's Mightiest Heroes could probably do with a break at this point, with the arrival of the Silver Surfer a foregone conclusion, there are other areas of the Marvel Universe who could do with a shock to their system later down the line. Who better to administer it than Annihilus?
