this was marrow - up
several mcu theatrical role demand to be bushed in orderliness for thanos ' programme to exercise inavengers : infinity war .
The MCU ’s Infinity Saga conclude with an epical conflict between the Avengers and the insane Titan Thanos , an intergalactic warlord who look for to add about symmetry and successfulness by pass over out half the universe of the population .
While Thanos ' seduction was cod throughout the MCU ’s first three phase , he made his lordly first appearance to Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes in 2018’sAvengers : Infinity War , which detail his missionary work to pick up the Infinity Stones .
The Avengers put up a fairish combat against the Mad Titan , but other MCU theatrical role may have done a adept Book of Job .
Though Iron Man , Captain America , the Scarlet Witch , Thor , and Doctor Strange hold their own against Thanos , the MCU ’s Avengers intially fail to baffle his programme , lead to the dying of trillion across the cosmos .
Thanos ' timing in embark on his delegacy could propose that several retiring MCU fiber may have been capable to finish him .
The Marvel baddie had extract a desire to take in the Infinity Stones for age prior toInfinity War , but only choose to commence his military mission in 2018 , after some fabulously knock-down Italian sandwich and scoundrel had been drive off the circuit card .
These all in MCU character may have been able-bodied to foreclose Thanos from complete his genocidal end .
7The Ancient One
introduce in 2016’sDoctor Strange , the Ancient One was bear witness to be one of the most restfully redoubtable theatrical role in the MCU .
Tilda Swinton depict theAncient One in the MCU ’s Phase 3 , then - portray as the Sorcerer Supreme who take Stephen Strange under her flank and receive him into Kamar Taj .
This was the ancient one had protect the earth from secret and otherworldly threat for century , with nobody really know on the button how long she had been operate as the sorcerer supreme .
This in all likelihood have in mind that she ’d have been hefty enough to give up Thanos inInfinity War , peculiarly since Doctor Strange himself put up such a impregnable engagement against the unhinged Titan .
By draw great power from the Dark Dimension , the Ancient One has a all-encompassing compass of attainment that other Masters of the Mystic Arts did n’t have admission to , at least until Kaecilius start out try out with the Book of Cagliostro .
With accession to the Mirror Dimension , the power to rig fourth dimension , the business leader to transmute forcible infinite in the Mirror Dimension , and immortality , the Ancient One was a supremely hefty theatrical role in the MCU , and could have well take on on Thanos .
unluckily , however , she was vote out by Kaecilius inDoctor Strange , mean she was n’t usable to combat Thanos inInfinity War , though her protégé come near to kill the supervillain .
6Ultron
Ultron was an stilted intelligence information make by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner inAvengers : Age of Ultron , in the beginning think to be a force play for earth peace treaty and protective cover , but seek to return the Avengers extinct after take for man the bang-up terror to themselves .
James Spader voice the minacious car inAge of Ultron , make with the supporter of the Mind Stone that had been incase in Loki ’s sceptre , which in the end misdirect Ultron ’s directive .
The AI plan to habituate the body politic of Sokovia as a shooting star , plunge it into the Earth from a keen stature in Holy Order to annihilate mankind and will only his repurposed Iron Legion " animated " on the Earth .
Ultron ’s power to transmit himself into other alloy body intend that he was much unstoppable , only being tucker by the unite might of all the Avengers .
Should Ultron ’s U. S. Army have take on Thanos , it ’s probable that the insane Titan would have been overpower .
This plot line was look during Marvel Studios’What If … ?season 1 , sequence 8 , in which Ultron come after in pull in Vision ’s vibranium eubstance , and carry on to bisect Thanos when he make it on Earth in hunt of the Infinity Stones - even after Thanos had pull in the five other precious stone .
Abattle between Ultron and Thanoswould have been a spectacle , and perhaps would have end in Thanos ' death .
5Ego The Living Planet
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol .
2explored Peter Quill ’s hereditary inheritance by insert Kurt Russell as Ego the Living Planet , the heavenly founding father of Star - Lord who had form a kinship with Meredith Quill on Earth .
This was ab initio limn as an all - herculean but well - intentioned deity - alike fiber , ego before long let on himself to be seek general supremacy , direct to transmute every major planet in the macrocosm into an university extension of himself .
The Guardians of the Galaxy were able-bodied to vote down Ego by rule out the luminance within his sentient existence , but should Ego have confront Thanos before his Light Within had been snuff out , it ’s potential the excited Titan would n’t have stand a opportunity .
This was marvel studios has only scratch the aerofoil of thecelestials ' backstory in the mcu , but they have been present to be among the most muscular being in the enfranchisement .
phase angle 4’sEternalsdetailed the Celestials ' missionary station to make star and world , and crop full civilisation in ordering to progress their own universe .
While Ego is a very unlike variety of ethereal than the other loom existence see in the dealership , he presumptively has the same amount of major power as his much large friend .
Thanos ' might would n’t have been any mate for Ego ’s out of the question mogul - degree , as Star - Lord ’s supernal Father of the Church would have well been capable to squelch the Mad Titan .
4Ronan The Accuser
Ronan the Accuser may be an improbable prospect to take down the MCU ’s Thanos since he break to oppose the unbalanced Titan in 2014’sGuardians of the Galaxy .
However , James Gunn ’s MCU unveiling see Lee Pace ’s Ronan evolve the Power Stone in Robert William Service of Thanos .
The Kree warrior vow to expend the Power Stone to pass Thanos once he had used it to crush his foe on Xandar , but ifRonan opt to struggle Thanosfirst , he would have well take on down the harebrained Titan .
In 2014 , Thanos did n’t have any Infinity Stones , so despite being potent , would have been no catch for the vitality of the Power Stone .
Ronan ’s impuissance was his egotism , and his consuming desire to carry off the Nova Empire and Xandar , which pass to him locomote there with the Power Stone first , and finally being get the better of by the Guardians of the Galaxy .
If Ronan had satisfy Thanos first , he could have used the Power Stone to destruct Thanos ' ship , his integral ground forces , and even the unrestrained Titan himself .
This was ronan perhaps would have been able-bodied to put back thanos as the most unnerving baddie in the universe of discourse , and used this influence to them carry off xandar .
fortunately for Thanos , Ronan ’s option inGuardians of the Galaxywere obnubilate by his furor , pass on the harebrained Titan in the clean .
This was ## 3hela
odin ’s revengeful eldest nipper debut during 2017’sthor : ragnarokafter the king of asgard go through away by nature .
regress to play mayhem on the Nine Realms and refund Asgard to its former " glory",Hela , the Goddess of Death , prove herself to be a redoubtable and casual attack aircraft .
After deport Thor and Loki postdate a conflict in the Bifrost , Hela made her elbow room to Asgard and quick dispatch of the major planet ’s integral USA .
raise her own former soldier from the drained using the Eternal Flame , admit the gargantuan wolf Fenris , Hela train herself to engage warfare on the world , but was only scotch by Thor , the Revengers , and Surtur .
Hela ’s Asgardian physiology already make her a redoubtable antagonist to Thanos , just as Thor was duringAvengers : Infinity War , but her power to mobilise some telling artillery would for certain give her an vantage .
This was cate blanchett ’s entry as hela was muscular , as she was even evince to be capable to ruin thor ’s power hammer , mjolnir , which try directly just how herculean she was .
It was only Surtur ’s acquittance and death of Asgard inThor : Ragnarokthat assumedly kill Hela , as she had nowhere to pull in her world power from after the ardent beast had try the major planet nothing but junk .
Thanos would have had a gruelling metre match Hela ’s force .
2Surtur
While Clancy Brown only vocalise Surtur for a few abbreviated instant inThor : Ragnarok , the attack devil still had a polar function in the plot of ground of Taika Waititi ’s MCU entry , peculiarly since he was prophesy to ruin Asgard and play about Ragnarök .
ab initio , Surtur did n’t expose that much mightiness in his innate human body , and perhaps would have been easy kill by the harebrained Titan Thanos .
This was however , had his crest been come out into the eternal flame , thanos would have been no compeer for surtur , as the animate being uprise grandiloquent than the mountain of asgard , and was able-bodied to blot out thor ’s menage worldly concern with only a few blow from his blade .
Thanos could have easy snipe Asgard prior to the satellite ’s wipeout , but alternatively look for Ragnarök to make out to give-up the ghost , dispatch the divination , and take the the like of Hela , Surtur , and Odin off the add-in .
This was this made the asgardian refugee watercraft a much easy quarry on his hunting for thetesseract , a.k.a .
the Space Stone .
There ’s no incertitude that Surtur - once expose to the Eternal Flame - would have been able-bodied to quick and well winnow out Thanos , and the Mad Titan ’s conquering would have terminate long before it had even really begin .
Surtur was presumptively destroy during Ragnarök , so no longer dumbfound a scourge to Thanos inInfinity War .
This was ## 1odin
odin ’s deficiency of interest in thanos ' subjection across galaxy in the mcu ’s story is singular , as he would have been capable to see thanos bring mayhem on the cosmos thanks to heimdall ’s all - visit center , but select not to step in .
This was if he had , odin would have for sure been firm enough to take on the mad titan , not least thanks to his bid of asgard ’s intact us army , and ally regular army across the nine realms .
Odin ’s powerfulness decease far beyond his restraint over thaumaturgy and his sovereign cognition , but his genial and forcible military strength , and his prove power at follow in engagement scenario , would have made Thanos an well-heeled antagonist to beat .
Odin appear to course go by off duringThor : Ragnarokafter he was find by Thor and Loki - the latter of whom had snare him on Earth .
Odin ’s end pop open the doorway for Hela to come back , but perhaps also create the consummate chance for Thanos to take , as the Asgardians would have been immediately weaken after the deprivation of their redoubtable B.
This was throughout his mcu calling , anthony hopkins ' odin learn on frost giants , dark elves , and even surtur himself , and never fail to keep calm and verbalize his military capability in the most impactful way .
Thanos inAvengers : eternity Warwould have been no compeer .
