Movies based on comic book superheroes have never been bigger or better, but each new film or franchise requires a supervillain that is just as memorable. As the stakes and threats are rising every year, and Marvels shared universes continue to unite heroes against a common enemy, the villains will need to up their game just as quickly. That may seem a tall order, but theres no shortage of villains who could fit the bill. Here is our list of the 10 Most Powerful Marvel Charers.\r

Back when Jean Grey was only the psychic ‘Marvel Girl, the writers of the X-Mendecided to stun readers by making her the most powerful mutant yet. Exposing Jean to lethal radiation, she emerged as ‘Phoenix, a physical form of the cosmic and otherworldly ‘Phoenix Force. Eventually, her heightened powers corrupted her, driving Jean mad and wiping out alien worlds by accident. Wielding telekinetic and psychic power beyond any of her friends, Phoenix ended her own life to prevent more death. Even though the publisher would later reveal it wasnt really Jean, but a copy of her created by the Phoenix Force, The Phoenix Saga remains a fan-favorite. The story was attempted on film by director Brett Ratner, but it couldnt hold a candle to the comics.\r

Originally created to fight the Fantastic Four, Galus ist an alien, or a god… but a bit of both. Before the Big Bang created Marvels universe, an alien fled the death of the one that came before, fusing with its essence before the new one took its place. Galus was the result: a god-like embodiment of the cosmos that most beings cant even perceive, who has to feed on living planets to stay alive. His scout, the Silver Surfer may get most of the recognition, but Galus has the power to do just about anything: transform matter, teleport, create life, revive the dead…you name it. Even the brilliant Reed Richards couldnt tell just where Galus powers ended, but exploiting his weak spots has saved Earth more than a few times.
