The Mad Titan of Marvel's cosmic hierarchy, Thanos is obsessed with universal balance and willing to snap half of existence out of reality to achieve it. Even without the Infinity Gauntlet, he can trade blows with the Hulk and outthink Reed Richards. With it, he is essentially God—capital G—with a chin that could cut diamonds.

The Norse god of thunder, son of Odin, and wielder of the legendary hammer Mjolnir—a weapon so heavy that no other being in the Nine Realms can lift it. Thor commands the storms themselves, and a single blow from Mjolnir can level mountains and split the World Serpent's skull. He once drank so much of the ocean that he created tides, just to lose a bar bet.
