Marvel has confirmed who is the strongest Avenger and you will be surprised by the answer, because it is a character that you did not expect.
the title of the “Strongest Avenger” often generates debate in the fan community of the Marvel comics universe. But this is not just a discussion of comics, because in the MCU we have also been able to experience this confrontation between two of the most popular competitors: hulk and thor.
These two have proven to be tremendously powerful beings, capable of generating great destruction in their wake. However, there is evidence to show that the strongest Avenger is neither of these two heroes, but one that no one is likely to imagine. And in this post, we will tell you all the details about it, because the answer will surprise you.
Who is the strongest Avenger in the Marvel Universe?
To size the strength of a character in the Marvel universe is complicated, as this will depend on many factors, including what the plot of the comic requires to advance its development. However, it is no secret to anyone that when it comes to raw power, two of the greatest exponents are Hulk, the Jade giant who has great destructive capacity, although he is not the strongest in the multiverse, and Thor, the God of Thunderwho is also the son of Odin and the First Avenger.
Through the comics, and even the MCU, they have both been shown to possess great destructive force that makes them worthy of the title of “Strongest Avenger”. In fact, these have continuously fought battles, while trying to show who is the most powerful true Avenger. An example of this, in the Marvel movies, was during Thor: Ragnarök.
However, there is evidence that this recognition corresponds to a character who does not stand out for his brute force. This is Natasha Romanoffbetter known as the Black Widow.
Why is Black Widow the strongest Avenger?
During the events of Avengers comic #37created by Roy Thomas and Don Heckwe witness the kidnapping of this team of superheroes by an alien villain named Ixar, who try to seize the skills of these characters to use at will.
After a series of events in which the Avengers defeat a bunch of minions from Ixar, which has turned out to be a simple old man who wants to conquer the planet. However, now it only remains to finish him off, but this villain knows that the team of heroes has sworn never to end anyone’s life, so he feels safe and makes fun of these.
Although, indeed, no member of the team is capable of ending Ixar’s life, Natasha Romanoff does not hesitate to take a step forward and pulls out his gun to point it at his head. The alien thinks she’s playing tough, so she interrupts him by asking him to look directly into her eyes to see if she’s playing or if she’s serious.
At this point, Ixar discovers that Natasha is capable of killing him, so, fearing for his life, he returns the Avengers to Earth and he leaves the planet. All this allows us to understand that, indeed, the potential that the Black Widow has is important, because, although she does not have enough strength to kill powerful villains, yes you can make the decisions that your colleagues cannot. Besides that she has battle experience and is skilled in combat.
