Summary

TheMCUis no alien to weakening character for the saki of game , but for some , the gulf in power between the live - natural action and mirthful Word loop is particularly huge . Marvel Comics is known for conk out to extreme lengths with the feats its heroes and villains are capable to pull out off , which admit tearing through space and time like they are made of composition . Sometimes , however , thenerfing of sports fan - favorite MCU characterscarries a significant sting .

The justifications for hamstringing characters are pretty understandable , as Marvel is responsible for for maintaining a balance and ensuring that theMCU ’s most minimize characters , like Hawkeye , get their time in the spotlight . While follow thesepowerful Marvel heroeson the big screen often takes a healthy dose of the abatement of disbelief , there are some things that hoagy are capable of in the comics that are comfortably left off of the big screen . With that being say , these characters should have been have more power , even if only slenderly .

The Marvel movie releasing in 2024 offer a range of photographic film experiences - and some confusion , due to the exchange dates of several incoming instalment .

10Mantis Is An Unparallelled Martial Artist

Portrayed By Pom Klementieff

Even discounting the fact that Mantis ' contributions could lead to her being one of themost herculean superheroes in the MCU , her king go much further in the comics . Mantis is one of few heroes who could go toe - to - toe with Thor and come out on top , not through her intellect - influencing powers , but through bona fide martial prowess . That is n’t the only ability that the picture Mantis has been stripped of , asher comic account book counterpart is also adequate to of astral projection , controlling flora , and pyrokinesis . While movie Mantis is quietly formidable in her own rightfield , particularly when astride an Abilisk , a Mantis with ardor - bending powers would be a welcome addition .

9Wolfgang Von Strucker Has A Lethal Disease

Portrayed By Thomas Kretschmann

Although Marvel has a hang for portraying minimise yetcompelling non - superpowered baddie , a Baron Von Strucker with entropic abilities stem from a " Deathspore " virus would have made him a lot more memorable . Comic Holy Writ Von Strucker is still a high - up HYDRA agent with many standardised personality traits to his live - action opposite number , but through his disease , he can also stand up to superheroes by volitionally spreading his computer virus . His death would also free the virus in his vicinity , though the fact that the MCU Von Strucker was defeat by the presumable disease - resistant Ultron would have very much nullified the impact of this mogul .

8Adam Warlock Is Like Marvel’s Superman

Portrayed By Will Poulter

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3specified how Adam is n’t as powerful as he should be , which should mean how Warlock was nerfed for the benefit of theGuardians of the Galaxy 3plot . That is not to say that Will Poulter ’s portrayal of the lineament still is n’t incredibly brawny , being responsible for for the near - death of Rocket Raccoon and the redemptive deliverance of Peter Quill in the vacuum of place later . In the comics , Adam Warlock is instantly tied to the Soul Stone , with a psyche too powerful for end to claim . manifestly , this is one attribute that wo n’t make an appearance post - Infinity Saga .

The litany of power grant to Adam Warlock in the comic strip is partly thanks to this immortality , witheach rebirth granting him raw powers . Another perk for Adam Warlock , however , is his ability to explicate fresh powers depend on the situation . Given that he has only just debuted , there is still great deal of time for Adam Warlock to develop into the kind of hero that could give Captain Marvel a run for her money .

7Kang The Conqueror Hasn’t Conquered Much

Portrayed By Jonathan Majors

So far , the MCU has gone to great lengths to dumb down Kang ’s threat , which at this distributor point could mean how much he should be revere . Despite this , aside from being second only to Loki when it comes to ultimate baron , Kang has recently been prepared as the true big badness of the multiverse , the likes of which Thanos should be afraid . While the motion-picture show rendering of Kang is mostly close to the comedian , including his genius intellect and potent gadgets , he has yet to not be defeat by Marvel ’s superheroes . The Council of Kangs may remedy this in the future , but fourth dimension is run out for the impish - villain to come out being a true menace .

6Drax The Destroyer Should Destroy More

Portrayed By Dave Bautista

Drax the Destroyer is oftenplayed for laughs in the MCU , which flies in the typeface of his intimidating moniker . While he has shown great feats of strength - such as by forcefully pushing the door to the High Evolutionary ’s ship off its hinges - there is still so much more that Drax could extend . Among his unseen powers are flight , surviving in blank , play the saxophone , and the ability to pose a significant threat to his wicked - nemesis , Thanos .

5Ultron Should Have Won

Portrayed By James Spader

Ultron was a injured party of the MCU ’s requirement to condense entire comic Good Book runs into a individual movie , which reduced him to an enemy that the Avengers could overcome in a pretty shortsighted space of time . The same could not be read of Ultron in the comic Holy Writ runAge of Ultron , in which he gain , as hinted at by the title of respect . Ultron ’s comic Word of God M.O. was to constantly adjust insurmountable melioration , leading to a vast inclination of world power that included the power to visit other planing machine and matter handling . In the MCU ’s defence , however , Ultron finally became the conduit through which Vision ’s power could be demonstrated .

4Ulysses Klaw Could Have Easily Taken A Bullet And Lived

Portrayed By Andy Serkis

Andy Serkis ' phenomenal portrayal of Klaue was only part of the reason that his unceremonial death at the hands of Killmonger was a perversely tragic one . A sonic - spewing branch is n’t on the nose something to write house about , but it is what the comic book Klaw became over the course of several appearances that rightfully made him a villain to be feared . This was thanks toKlaw ’s organic structure being composed of semi - solidified sound that made him imperviable to just about anythingother than a vacuum , including a heater to the torso . Klaw ’s resurrection is unlikely , but hope remains that Serkis will reprise the function in a far more redoubtable capacity than before .

3Odin Is A Literal God

Portrayed By Anthony Hopkins

As the King of Asgard , Odin is supposed to be the most hefty of all Asgardians , with divine powers that measure up to his status . One of these , specifically , is the Odinforce , which Odin only briefly exert throughout the course of the first three Thor movies , such as bar Thor to worldly concern and stripping him of his power and shooting energy beams from Gungnir . The comic Good Book rendition of these exponent , however , hasOdin going toe - to - toe with some of Marvel ’s most cosmically powerful organism and often coming out on top with minuscule apparent effort .

Though Odin ’s comparatively meager powers in the MCU could be put down to too few chance for him to shine through , the way in which he was outmaneuver and overpowered by the dark elf and Loki is particularly glaring . or else of dealing with what Odin versus Thanos would have looked like , however , which probably should have ended in a clear victory for the Asgardian King , the MCU decide to kill him off before Thanos ' design got afoot in earnest , which was probably a wise move . Regardless , not attend a fully powered Odin in natural action against a world - ending menace feels like a miss chance .

2Vision Was Debilitated Too Early

Portrayed By Paul Bettany

Vision ’s index in the MCU was at its most stark when communicate in theWhat If … Ultron Won?episode , in which Vision ’s torso , inhabited by the programming of Ultron , is capable to effortlessly bisect a Thanos in possession of all the Infinity Stonesexcept for the Mind Stone . No such moment transpire during the events ofAvengers : Infinity War , thanks to Vision being weaken after Corvus Glaive caught him off - guard and impaled him on his brand . YetVision ’s king was never given a chanceto beam afterAvengers : Age of Ultron , though it is fairly intelligible given how a full - powered Vision could diminish passably much all of the MCU ’s biggest threats .

1Hulk Can Punch Through Time

Portrayed By Mark Ruffalo

Hulk ’s suppressed power in the MCU is one of the franchise ’s biggest and most criminal sticking points , as his iconic comic Christian Bible equivalent has been capable of some impossibly outlandish exploit . These let in punching through meter itself , which may have fare in handy during the events of theAvengers : EndgameTime Heist . Though there is still the slightest room for Hulk to be given the power level he deserves in theMCU , potentially through a World War Hulk arc , some of the biggest disservices done to the Jade Giant have included his frustration at the hands of Iron Man , Thor , and Thanos .
