Earth’s Mightiest Heroes: The 20 Greatest Avengers

10) Scarlet Witch

Forget what we just said about Vision, Scarlet Witch’s knack for manipulating probability means she’s one of the most powerful Avengers. Despite her long tenure on the team, however, Wanda Maximoff is probably most remembered for the times she’s lost control and suffered a mental breakdown. For instance, the “Avengers: Disassembled” storyline – which saw Wanda brutally tear her husband Vision in half – or the “House of M,” in which Wanda brought mutantkind to extinction simply by saying the words “no more mutants.”

9) Black Panther

On the surface, Black Panther might seem like Marvel’s version of Batman, but he’s actually so much more. Pretty much the first ever black superhero, the character goes all the way back to 1966. He’s also one of the few heroes to be badass in both his superhero and everyday identities.

Out of costume, Panther is T’Challa, king of the African nation of Wakanda. With enhanced strength, agility and senses though, Black Panther has been a valued member of the Avengers for decades now. He’s even about to get his own solo movie in 2018, where he’ll be played by Chadwick Boseman.
