Forge is a mainstay of ten - Men comics , but also a huge headache in terms of creating massive plot hole . Forge is an intuitive artificer , withthe mutant power to be capable to instinctively build anything he wants or need . Forge has built weapon system , vehicles and armor for the X - Men , and during the 2019 - 2024 Krakoan Era , helped constitute the mutant nation by make admiration like ego - building cities that develop from seeds and the Captain Krakoa armor , which can turn powerless sport into top - tier superheroes . Forge ’s powers also give him an nonrational understanding of any mechanism and he ’s dabble in conjuring trick in the past , though he rarely utilize it .

The problem with Forge ’s big businessman is thatwhatever problem faces the ecstasy - Men , fans are always forced to necessitate why Forge ca n’t build his way out of it . Feuds with key heroes have been used to keep him out of natural process in many fount , while during the Krakoan Era he was forever in use building some young admiration , but his mien would make endless trouble in the relatively smaller movie universe of discourse - as Forge himself has say , he ’d beat Ultron in seconds if the Avengers ever bothered to call him for help .

Here are the 30 god , mutant , sorcerers and robot that presently hold the top spot when it comes to major power in the Marvel Universe .

She ’s also part - Shi’ar , adding the alien species ' bird - like physiology to her top executive stage set , and allow her to achieve a deadly ' Nemesis ' form with claw and bladed wing .

Lifeguard ’s powers are similar to those of Darwin , who appear inX - man : First Classplayed by Edi Gathegi . This motion-picture show prove how hard it is to write adventures which admit such adaptive powers : Darwin is able to conform his eubstance to survive anything , and yet is killed early in the moving picture when Sebastian Shaw causes him to explode from the inner out . If the movies had to determine Darwin ’s ability to savehimself , there ’s no room for Lifeguard to be able to save everybody else .

Darwin suffers a similar fate to hisX - Men : First Classdeath in the comics , but it ’s eventually bring out he adopted an energy form and enshroud within a mate to escape destruction . He ’s survived far worse since , even becoming a godin order to survive the spot of the Asgardian baddie Hela .

In most fiction , characters who can see the future are passing limited in their abilities , beat glimpses of what might happen that then have to be trace . X - Men ’s Destiny is different : she sees the future , know how to change it , and is more than happy to take a verbatim hired hand when it benefits her . The wife of X - Men scoundrel Mystique andthe female parent of Nightcrawler , Destiny ’s visions are so exact that even just her diaries are handle as a powerful artifact inX - Menlore .

In the Marvel Universe , Destiny and Mystique accidentally inspired the literary charactersIrene Adler and Sherlock Holmes , with the shapeshifting Raven Darkhölme pretending to be a look up investigator known as Eric Raven in the 1800s .

Destiny is n’t all - powerful - she get word the hereafter as a series of nexus outcome which will result in different paths , and works to usher events towards the one she opt - but her power to predict the future with such accuracy creates a like payoff to Forge - when a problem chivvy the X - man , fans are forced to ask why Destiny did n’t see it coming or prevent it . For most of comic chronicle , it ’s simply been because she does n’t like them .

Patrick Stewart’s Professor X with Goldballs and Wildside in Marvel Comics

Like Deadpool , Doop is capable of brush off the fourth wall , but while Wade Wilson live mostly in Marvel reality and can transgress its boundary , Doop is the paired , living in the allowance and occasionally mold mainstream persistence .

Moira MacTaggert has been on the big screen door before - Rose Byrne play her inX - Men : First Class- however the last few years have whole retconned this longtime side character . Moira was totally redefined by Jonathan Hickman and Pepe Larraz’sHouse of X(published in 2019 ) , which revealed thatMoira is secretly a mutation . Moira ’s top executive is that when she dies , she reboots world and commence again from her birth- fundamentally living outGroundhog Day , but for her entire life . In Marvel ’s principal timeline , Moira has subsist nine life , using each to learn more about the humans and its major players , becoming a huge component in the destined war for survival between mutants and AI .

Not only has Moira lived nine anterior lifetimes that all affect her actions in the modern day , but in the comics her powers have been replicate by others , and she has a major feud move with the second-sighted mutant Destiny ( or at least she did before she became a cyborg villain . ) risible readers live for the chess friction match of a woman who can re-start account vs one who can see the future , butit ’s the kind of mind that do good from longsighted - mannequin storytelling , not a megahit flick .

4Doop

First Appearance:X-Force #116by Peter Milligan and Michael Allred

One of Marvel ’s uncanny character , Doop is an older booster of Wolverineand a former appendage of the celebrity team X - Statix . While it ’s been teased that Doop is a superweapon created by the regime , his reliable nature is as a creature of the marginalia - a liminal dimension that live around the edge of Marvel persistence . Doop ’s semi - material nature allows him to break the rules of story , making him immune to the powers of othersand able to travel between moment in time like they ’re the panels in a comedian . Like Deadpool , Doop is capable of ignoring the 4th wall , but while Wade Wilson live mostly in Marvel realism and can infract its boundaries , Doop is the opposite , living in the margin and at times mold mainstream continuity .

Doop has a secret arrangement with Charles Xavier to pop severe mutant . ' Code X ' mutants are those whose power turn them into an inherent danger to humanity . Doop tests and secretly run such mutants on the X - Men founding father ’s orders .

He ’s also demonstrated some fantastic superpower , like being able to shapeshift to any size of it and shape , having an entire secret reality within his trunk , and being able to replicate Thor ’s hammer Mjolnir after swallowing it . He ’s also one of Marvel ’s most completed lovers , with the bulk of side - theatrical role who satisfy him experiencing an intense and straightaway attraction to the float immature blob . at long last , Doop is a festivity of everything uncanny in superhero comics , and would be hard to fit into the more stringently naturalistic movie universe .

Selene Gallio is one of Marvel ’s older characters , having been born around 15000 BC .

Feeding on othersgives Selene a superhuman human body , however she also have a range of mental power include psychokinesis , pyrokinesis , hypnosis and telepathy .

Selene not only does n’t age , but ca n’t be killed by normal means - she can only be killed through a complex rite performed by another External .

However , far more dangerous , Selene has spend her one thousand of old age on Earth consider illusion , as well as hide mystical assets around the major planet to benefit her in a pinch . Selene is so powerful she ’s been debate for the role of Sorcerer Supreme in the yesteryear , and that ’s purely on the basis of her mystical might .

Nathaniel Grey has frequently been named the most brawny sport in Marvel canon .

2Various Reality Warpers

Including Magician, Miranda, Matthew Malloy, Gabriel Shepherd, Mad Jim Jaspers, Monarch, Clyde Wyncham, Absolon Mercator, Mysterious Fan Boy and More

The X - gene is all about toying with the fundamental construction blocks of realness . In the case of the most knock-down mutants , this often intend being able-bodied to manipulate reality itself , buckle the world around them either consciously or unconsciously . This listing could be made up wholly of realness - warpers , from Captain Britain ’s terrifying crony Monarch ( who perceives the domain as if he ’s in a dream ) tothe mysterious Absolon Mercator(a confirmed Omega - degree matter manipulator who recently took up rulership of an intact dimension . )

As the Fall of go arrives , fans were hope Marvel ’s most sinewy mutant could save the ten - Men . Now , he disclose the one menace he ca n’t cease .

Even the tangled lore of the comics tends not to be capable to keep world - warpers around for too long , however quite a few have joined X - Men teams - such as the Magician joining the Ultimate X - man or the Mysterious Fan Boy coerce his way of life onto X - Statix - simply because there ’s no way to tell them no . Having a hero who can do literally anything is nigh - impossible to write , while have avillainwho can alter reality on a whim poses a major challenge to how non - omnipotent sport like Iceman and Colossus can win the day .

1X-Man

First Appearance:X-Man #1by Jeph Loeb and Steve Skroce

Technically another realness - warper , Nathaniel Grey is in a form of his own , and hasfrequently been named the most powerful mutant in Marvel canyon . The genetically engineeredson of another reality ’s Cyclops and Jean Grey , X - Man is as close as any Marvel person come in to godhood , and order on any list of themultiverse’smost knock-down being , let alone just the 10 - mankind . Nate can warp realism and himself in any manner he wants , and can even exist without a forcible body as pure astral DOE . His telepathy and telekinesis are off the charts , and he can essentially find fault powers out of thin air , including healing , intangibility , and the ability to see both the past and the future .

However , X - Man does n’t just garble Marvel ’s exist world - he can also make his own . As see in stories like theAge of X - Manevent , Nate is capable of create his own worlds with fabricated histories , and is resistant to the powers of other mutant who can warp reality . A Sentry - level hero on his very worst mean solar day , Nate may as well be manage the Infinity Gauntlet without the need to snap his digit , making it all but impossible for him to join theX - Menin the MCU for any real length of prison term .
