AlthoughAvengers: Doomsdayis already stacked with powerfulMCUsuperheroes, several more have yet to be announced who would be particularly useful in the looming fight against Doctor Doom. Doom is no joke, after all, and while the likes of Thor could hold their own, they will invariably benefit from powerful backup.
It seems inevitable thatDoctor Doom will be particularly powerfulinAvengers: Doomsday, and may even emerge victorious as the MCU sets upAvengers: Secret Warsand God Emperor Doom. This would imitate the preceding MCU saga, asAvengers: Doomsdayoccupiesa similar space toAvengers: Infinity War.
Having said that, the current lineup of superheroes is arguably themost powerful the MCU has ever seen. Sentry alone boasts a dizzying array of powers, the full extent of which has yet to be depicted on-screen. Whether he could tackle Doom solo remains to be seen, however.
Meanwhile, many Marvel superheroes could just as capably hold their own against the looming arch-villain of the Multiverse Saga. Many of these haven’t been revealed to bepart oftheAvengers: Doomsdaycast, but those who have would certainly benefit from these characters being included ina second wave ofAvengers: Doomsdaycast announcements.
10White Vision
Portrayed By Paul Bettany
White Vision debuted inWandaVision, wherehe was revealed to have the same litany of powers as his magically manifested counterpart. After being rebuilt, Vision was devoid of memories, though his hex-born counterpart restored them, ostensibly returning Vision to the MCU and setting him up for hissolo series,Vision Quest.
Although he was nerfed inAvengers: Infinity War, Vision is one ofthe most powerful Avengers.His powers of flight and phasing are uniquely useful in their versatility, even though he now lacks the added power of the Mind Stone in his head.
9Scarlet Witch
Portrayed By Elizabeth Olsen
Wanda Maximoff ostensibly died inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, though the validity of this fate is the topic of much debate.A conspicuous red flash at the moment Wanda collapses the Darkhold Castle upon herself leads many to believe that she was displaced, while others expect that she will be resurrected.
Agatha All Alongrepeatedly stressed that Wanda Maximoff is truly dead.
Should Wanda return to the MCUin time forAvengers: Doomsday, she would be uniquely well-placed to fight the magic-wielding Doctor Doom. At the peak of her power,Wanda was able to warp reality to such an extent that the full force of Earth-838’s Illuminati was no match, despite counting the world’s smartest man in their ranks.
8Hulk
Portrayed By Mark Ruffalo
Hulk was arguably at his strongestin the Infinity Saga. Nevertheless, after being bested by Thanos at the beginning ofAvengers: Infinity War, the rage-fueled Savage Hulk persona was seemingly forever subdued, withBruce Banner melding his mind with Hulk’s body to become Smart Hulk inAvengers: Endgame, an outcome that Bruce sees as the best of both worlds.
It’s unclear if Smart Hulk is quite as strong as Hulk, butSavage Hulk’s destructive capabilities would be particularly useful in overpowering Doctor Doom. If Savage Hulk does not reappear in the MCU, Bruce’s formidable mind would at least be useful in strategizing against the powerful magic-user.
7Doctor Strange
Portrayed By Benedict Cumberbatch
Doctor Strange recently starred in his second solo movie, wherehe held his own against Wanda Maximoff at her most powerful, albeit using some shady methods. He was last seen venturing into another dimension with Charlize Theron’s Clea, who seems herself to bea powerful magic-user in the MCU.
Still, Strange’s mastery of the mystic arts puts him on an equal footing with Doom. Although Doom acquires the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel Comics,Strange is traditionally the more potent sorcerer, which is likely to be the case inAvengers: Doomsday. Provided he is not otherwise occupied in another dimension, he would be an exceptionally valuable addition.
6Steve Rogers
Portrayed By Chris Evans
Steve Rogers is ostensibly retired from the MCU asAvengers: Endgamesaw him relinquish the Captain America mantle and his shield to Sam Wilson after living to old age with Peggy Carter.The fate of “Old Man Rogers"isn’t clear, though it is possible thatSteve Rogers could return as a variant inAvengers: Doomsday.
As an expert strategist himself, Steve Rogers bolsters his brawn with brains that typically help to even the odds.
Steve Rogers isn’t especially powerful in the MCU, boasting a relatively simple array of super soldier powers. Nevertheless,comic book precedent dictates that he would fare well against Doctor Doom, matching Doom’s power and intelligence with his indomitable will. As an expert strategist himself, Steve Rogers bolsters his brawn with brains that typically help to even the odds.
5G’iah
Portrayed By Emilia Clarke
Secret Invasionis one ofthe most maligned MCU installments, with plenty of MCU fans preferring to discount it entirely. Nevertheless,it debuted one of the most powerful characters in the MCU with the Super-Skrull, G’iah. The Skrull “invasion” hasn’t been addressed sinceSecret Invasion, but it’s safe to assume that G’iah is still present somewhere on Earth.
As a recipient of the Harvest,G’iah boasts an array of superpowersdrawn from various MCU heroes and villains. Though she may not be as experienced in their use,the Avengers could certainly stand to have G’iah on board to double up on the powers already within their repertoire.
4Captain Marvel
Portrayed By Brie Larson
Captain Marvel proved invaluable in the fight against Thanos, destroying his fleet and preventing him from causing another Snap. She was last seen reviving a dying star, one ofCarol Danvers' most powerful feats. She is presumably still acting as the foremost protector of the cosmos, meaning Doom’s activities inAvengers: Doomsdaywill surely attract her attention.
As she proved inAvengers: Infinity War,Danvers is capable of standing up to threats powerful enough to best the Hulk. While Doom’s use of sorcery may give her cause for concern, Captain Marvel continues to surpass herself with her powers drawn from an Infinity Stone.
3America Chavez
Portrayed By Xochitl Gomez
America Chavez debuted inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessas a particularly unique hero. She reveals that she does not have any variants, with powers that allow her to traverse the multiverse involuntarily. By the end of that movie,she gains control of her powers and is additionally undergoing training at Kamar-Tajunder Wong’s tutelage.
In Marvel Comics, America Chavez draws powers from the multiverse, though it is unclear if this will be adapted in future MCU appearances.
America Chavez would be uniquely useful in the fight against Doom.Avengers: Doomsdaywill presumably heavily feature the multiverse, with Doctor Doom himself likely to arrive from an alternate universe.Her ability to traverse universes helped her to beat the Scarlet Witch, while her new ventures with the mystic arts could help to counteract Doom’s own sorcery.
2Wiccan
Portrayed By Joe Locke
Billy Maximoff was one of the main stars ofAgatha All Along. Although he debuted as “Teen,” his true identity vindicated prevailing theories ashe deployed his powerful magical abilities to control the minds of two powerful witchesbefore subduing three. It was later revealed that he inadvertently manifested the entire Witches' Road.
With that in mind, it appearsWiccan boasts the same reality-altering powers as his mother, Wanda. This is an exceptionally powerful ability that would be invaluable against the magic-wielding Doom. He was last seen guiding the soul of his brother to another body before embarking on a quest to find him, where Agatha’s guidance will presumably help him hone his powers.
1Jean Grey
Portrayed By Famke Janssen
Although several actors fromFox’s X-Men franchisewere confirmed to be starring inAvengers: Doomsday, Famke Janssen, who portrayed Jean Grey, was not among them.Although Jean Grey ostensibly died at the end ofX-Men: The Last Stand, this death was seemingly retconnedby the events ofX-Men: Days of Future Past.
Jean Grey is one of the most powerful members of the X-Men, especially when imbued with the power of the Phoenix Force. Her presence could significantly bolster the stars ofAvengers: Doomsday, boasting a powerful array of psychic abilities that could even counteract Doom’s expertise in the mystic arts.
