15 Most Powerful Marvel Cosmic Gods Ranked

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly expanding, both on and off Earth, so it’s no surprise we have recently been introduced to a myriad of gods, cosmic beings and alien threats. With Gorr the God Butcher literally butchering a laundry list of gods in the latest MCU release Thor: Love and Thunder, you can bet your last dollar that we’ll be seeing more of these deity-level superheroes and supervillains from our favorite comic books on the big screen soon.
Some cosmic gods are demonic and evil with sinister vocations. Others have ascended beyond the purest forms of light, representing all that is good. Heck, a few of them are even the living embodiments of the Multiverse itself. Regardless of how you try to understand the seemingly inexplicable nature of these near immortal star giants and proemial beings, there is one question posed that remains paramount: If there are this many gods and incredible entities, which one of them is the most powerful? Who can beat up who? Who is the king of kings? Who is God to the Gods?
With some names on our list familiar to the masses by virtue of being shown directly in the MCU films and series on Disney+ and Netflix over the years, others have only been implied or teased through easter eggs and post-credits scenes. Some even have groundwork being laid out and are possibly at play right now.
All being said, join us as we answer these ever-important questions and dive-deep into “the five w’s” of these celestial entities, both seen on the big screen and on comic book pages. This is our ranked list of the top 15 most powerful Marvel cosmic gods!

If we are talking about the Pre-Retcon Beyonder, The Beyonder, and Beyonders, they are omitted since all characters here are in the Marvel Multiverse. The Beyonders are living beyond that universe, beyond the marvel multiverse. But surely, they are overpowering on a scale of unimaginable numbers, especially the pre-retcon Beyonder who got retconned many times to introduce the one above all.

@@heavencorsiga1499 🤣 her powers??? When marvel literally sates that 1)she can either rule or annihilate the cosmo 2) she can enslave and entire multiverse if she wants to 3) chaos magic is the most powerful magic in marvel, and it has no bound limite and can go to infinite great extend 4) when she has defeated Phoenix force(even one shotted two of them) , dormammu, kang, dr. Doom(one shotted him two times), all mutants+Avengers, thor, etc etc 5) chthon was so powerless that he destroyed universe with an blink of his eye and even made his own universe, he sheer presence alone was enough to kill even eternity. He's above knull, odin, eternity, dormammu, Galactus, celestial, and many more characters and also even stated Wanda to be shadow beneath him when she literally eliminated 99%of mutants power in every universe unconsciously and even her chaos wave which she released unconsciously destroyed the multiverse. 6) after she absorbed the true darkhold+chthon, she's said to be even above rkt, white crown Phoenix, black preist strange. 7) also in mcu she has already shown a multiversal level feat by destroying every darkhold in every universe with that fraction amount of knowledge from darkhold 8) also to show how powerful Wanda is, in that illuminati scene, that was the Wanda who was able to use on about 30%of what the 616 Wanda can do, but she literally shredded the illuminati like a piece of paper. And even a teen Wanda who can use only 10%of her power make thor collapse on ground, while infinity war wanda(endgame Wanda was 5seconds older that infinity war Wanda) but was about to shred thanos while he was unstoppable even by mcu Trinity,set strange on his marathon for life and many many more So your point?????

[@Justin-sj5of]

The One Above All is an omage to Jack Kirby, not Stan Lee. In fact, when Stan Lee wanted to use Steve Rogers (Captain America) in a new team (The Avengers), Stan had to promise Jack Kirby that Steve would always represent "moral good". So they said Steve Rogers was given a gift to be uncorruptible from the One Above All. To my knowledge that was the first usage of the One Above All. You don't talk about it but there is also a One Below All (same entity).

I think Oblivion is above The Living Tribunal because of what he was able to do and represents. He was able to break the 4th wall and speak to the readers. His mere aspect of himself almost destroyed the entire multiverse which even Eternity couldn't do anything against and was only not able to fully destroy it because Chaosking wasn't Oblivion himself who represents nothingness, which existed before time and space and any version of the multiverse and also outlasts the multiverse, because everything starts and ends with nothing.
