• Since 2008, the MCU has introduced a huge cast of superheroes with a wide array of abilities.

In the years since Tony Stark told the world he was Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has introduced a huge cast of superheroes with a wide array of abilities.

From a genetically enhanced World War II soldier to a photon-blasting Kree-human hybrid, the MCU's decade-long saga has brought together the most ambitious superpowered team in cinematic history.

It has also inspired a lively debate about the strength of each character's abilities and who would be considered, as Thor says, the "strongest Avenger."

We rated every hero's abilities and value on the battlefield on a scale of 1 to 10 (with some exceptions) using evidence from the 23 interconnected MCU movies. We also made some necessary adjustments after Wanda Maximoff's shenanigans in the new Disney Plus show "WandaVision."

Here's our official power ranking. (Note: This doesn't include details or storylines from the comics.)
