 Workers at Google's parent company Alphabet form union

05 Jan 2021 | By Administration

Employees at Google and other units of its parent firm Alphabet announced the creation of a union on Monday, stepping up a period of activism targeting Silicon Valley giants. The Alphabet Workers Union, affiliated with the Communications Workers of America, aims to represent well-compensated tech workers as well as temporary workers and contractors, according to a statement. The new labor group is focusing not only on pay and benefits as most unions but also a role in ethical decisions by the tech giant and protection from arbitrary firings for activism. 

"We hope to create a democratic process for workers to wield decision-making power; promote social, economic, and environmental justice; and end the unfair disparities between TVCs (temporary, vendors and contractors) and FTEs (full-time employees)," the union's website said. As of the end of December, the union had some 200 members. Large tech firms, which offer generous compensation to software engineers and other skilled workers, have largely avoided labor drives but have faced growing unrest over workplace issues in recent years.

At Amazon, which has tens of thousands of warehouse workers, organizing drives have focused on working conditions and safety during the pandemic. One of the catalysts at Google was the recent firing of Timnit Gebru, a Black artificial intelligence ethics researcher and outspoken diversity activist. The company also faced a backlash from employees over its involvement with a Pentagon project known as Project Maven, which Google eventually ended. "This union builds upon years of courageous organizing by Google workers," said Nicki Anselmo, a Google program manager, and union member. "From... opposing Project Maven, to protesting the egregious, multimillion-dollar payouts that have been given to executives who’ve committed sexual harassment, we’ve seen first-hand that Alphabet responds when we act collectively." 

Asked about the organizing effort, Google's director of people operations Kara Silverstein, said in a statement: "We've always worked hard to create a supportive and rewarding workplace for our workforce. "Of course our employees have protected labor rights that we support. But as we’ve always done, we’ll continue engaging directly with all our employees.”

The move comes with Google and other tech giants under heightened scrutiny by antitrust enforcers in the US and elsewhere for their growing dominance of key economic sectors.

After the land border, Saudi Arabia is set to reopen its airspace and sea border as well. Kuwait and the US have been trying to end the long-sought dispute among the Gulf states. In a bid to resolve the political dispute that led Riyadh and its allies to impose a boycott on Qatar, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday reopened its land border with the latter.

According to the news report published in Al-Jazeera, the announcement came on the eve of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit and could pave the way towards ending a three-year-old feud.

Kuwait and the United States have been trying to end the long-sought dispute in which Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and non-Gulf Egypt severed diplomatic, trade, and travel ties with Qatar in mid-2017.

Qatar has repeatedly denied the allegations and said there was “no legitimate justification” for the severance of relations.

After the resumption of land border activities, Saudi Arabia is set to reopen its airspace and sea border as well, according to Kuwait's foreign minister.

Pakistan status of major non-NATO ally may be terminated | Melania will divorce Donald Trump

 Pakistan status as a major non-NATO ally may be terminated

WASHINGTON: A bill has been introduced by US Republican Congressman Andy Biggs to terminate Pakistan’s designation as a major non-NATO ally.  Currently, there are 17 Major non-NATO allies. The bill to remove Pakistan's special status, which allows access to US defense supplies and participation in cooperative defense research and development programs. Pakistan was given the designation as a major non-NATO ally during the Bush administration in 2004. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Economic Times reported that this new bill will also ask the president to certify that Pakistan has shown progress in order to arrest and prosecute senior leaders and mid-level operatives of the Haqqani Network in Pakistan.

Melania will divorce Donald Trump

Melania Trump has made up her mind to part ways with her husband, US President Donald Trump if psychics are to be believed. Also, the divorce may go down in a few months' time, according to their predictions.  A panel of PsychicWorld.com provided a set of new predictions for 2021. They touched on the US president's marriage as well, saying that First Lady Melania Trump will look to divorce her husband "before the summer".

numerologist said that there would be "upheaval" in the Trump household at the same time.

The panel also spoke about the first lady, saying that Melania will move on quickly from Donald Trump and will date "another prominent business figure" before the end of the year but will keep mum about it. 

 Trump to 'rise up and be a huge driving force in the world'

After the initial setback, the stars will align for Trump again, say the psychics. According to the panel, the business magnate and current US president are likely to "go silent for two months" before he rises again.

“He will then rise up and be a huge driving force in the world - bigger and with more influence than he had as President,” the panel said.

The panel said that Donald Trump will also be working on a tell-all book which will feature many behind-the-scenes moments of what went down at the White House during his presidency. 

The psychics said that the US president will have no qualms calling out certain individuals "for their corrupt ways" after the harsh media campaign he had faced during his stint as president.

“What he has to say, and what he reveals, is going to shock and scare the political and business world.”

According to Yahoo Lifestyle, another numerologist had predicted some 'upheaval' in Trump's life before the US elections. Popularly known as "The Numbers Queen", Sarah Yip had said that Trump's "numbers also suggest changes in his home life (peaking March-April-May 2021) due to his 6 Personal Year".

She said that Melania Trump and her son with the US president, Barron Trump, also had an 'upheaval' in their charts.

“This could suggest a move in residence and/or family and marriage transitions," she had said.

Melania Trump waiting for Donald Trump to leave office so she can divorce him: report

A day after Donald Trump's defeat in the 2020 US presidential elections, a former aide to the first lady had claimed that Melania Trump was counting every minute to divorce the president, the Daily Mail had reported.

Fellow ex-aide Omarosa Manigault Newman had claimed the couple's 15-year marriage was over. "Melania is counting every minute until he is out of the office and she can divorce," the report had said.

The source had said that Melania Trump was waiting for her husband to leave the White House as she did not want to humiliate him. "If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he's in office, he [Donald Trump] would find a way to punish her," the report had cited Newman.

 Review | Wonder Woman 1984

05 Jan 2021 | By Administration

When “Wonder Woman” came out in 2017, it was a thrilling breath of fresh air, both within the darker realm of DC Comics adaptations and the larger context of bloated summer blockbusters. Director Patty Jenkins’ film offered equal parts muscle and heart, with a perfect tonal balance between transporting action and gentle humor, dazzling spectacle, and charming romance. Crucially at its center was the impossibly charismatic Gal Gadot, who was more than just a gorgeous and statuesque stunner. She radiated goodness, light, and hope in a way that was infectious, that made you believe in the power of superheroes beyond facile platitudes about doing what’s right and protecting mankind.

Gadot remains a winning and winsome figure in “Wonder Woman 1984,” and she retains her authentic connection with the audience, but the machinery around her has grown larger and unwieldy. Maybe that was inevitable, the urge in crafting a sequel to make everything wilder and brasher, more sprawling and complicated. In the process, though, the quality that made the original film such a delight has been squashed almost entirely. And yet, the foundation of the script Jenkins co-wrote with Geoff Johns and Dave Callaham, based on William Moulton Marston’s original characters, is a pretty simple one: It’s an indictment of greed, of our entitled desire to have what we want and have it now. The story takes place at the height of Reagan-era conspicuous consumption, hence the title, but the point “WW84” is making about the destructive nature of avarice is certainly relevant today.

Too often, though, the instinct in evoking that period is to wallow in obvious nostalgia—popped collars on pastel Polo shirts, a Centipede game at the arcade, a B. Dalton Bookseller at the brightly-lit, triple-decker mall. There’s even the obligatory trying-on-clothes montage to allow Chris Pine’s resurrected World War I pilot to marvel at the ridiculousness of parachute pants. (Also: breakdancing! What is that all about?) We’ll get to Steve in a minute, and to the potentially intriguing idea, his return represents.

But what’s also disappointing about the “WW84” screenplay is that it feels like it belongs to a movie that actually came out in the ‘80s. Its plot-driving device would be right at home in a high-concept comedy: an ancient stone that immediately grants you whatever you wish for, resulting in both wacky hijinks and massive catastrophes. It’s a banal notion along the lines of “Weird Science” and “Zapped!,” a cautionary tale in which fantasy fulfillment ultimately doesn’t deliver the satisfaction its characters expect.

Far more compelling is the film’s opening sequence, a flashback to a pivotal moment in the life of young Diana, years before she’d become Wonder Woman. As a girl on the magical island of Themiscyra (played once again by the poised and perfectly cast Lilly Aspell), she competes in an arduous challenge of strength and skill against women twice her age and height. This whole section soars—the camerawork and editing put us right in the middle of the action, and Hans Zimmer’s score sweeps us along. The memory also efficiently establishes Diana’s fearlessness and ability as well as the important lesson she learns about the nature of truth that will become relevant down the road. It is the film’s high point; nothing else will match it in terms of visual cohesion or emotional impact.

Flash forward to 1984. Diana Prince is now living in Washington D.C. (at The Watergate, amusingly) and working as an archaeologist at the Smithsonian, using her expertise and language skills to study ancient artifacts. Being ageless makes her a glamorous and elegant but lonely figure. (Costume designer Lindy Hemming plays off Gadot’s height and her character’s heritage by placing her in regal, drapey outfits that emphasize her length.) We see Diana sitting alone at a table at an outdoor cafe, smiling at passers-by, yearning to make a connection. It’s the film’s most quietly moving moment.

So when mousey new co-worker Dr. Barbara Minerva arrives and meekly asks if she’d like to have lunch, Diana doesn’t quite know how to respond because she doesn’t really have friends. But the two soon hit it off, because Barbara is also a misfit in her own way. Kristen Wiig is subtly hilarious in these early scenes as the sweetly goofy, warmhearted researcher. The chemistry she and Gadot share when they meet for drinks at happy hour, the Washington Monument gleaming behind them in the distance, made me wish they were starring in a mismatched buddy comedy instead. The role allows Wiig to deliver her lines with the sly, self-deprecating deadpan that’s her trademark; it seems effortless but actually requires pinpoint precision. But watching her stretch and develop into a villainous figure as the film progresses has its own joys. It’s a huge change of pace for the comedian, and she rises to the occasion both physically and emotionally.

You see, Barbara gets her hands on a mysterious stone that comes into the lab, which she and Diana determine is the kind that grants one wish to the bearer. Diana wishes she could once again be with her love, Pine’s Steve Trevor, now deceased for seven decades. Barbara wishes she could be more like Diana: confident, strong, sexy. But then—get this—a whole ‘nother person enters the lab under the guise of being a benefactor when he actually wants the stone for his own nefarious purposes. He’s Pedro Pascal as fluffy-haired TV con man Maxwell Lord, a fake oil tycoon promising prosperity to the masses. Crafting a wealthy façade and living beyond his means, Maxwell Lord is an archetype of the era. But beyond his shameless hunger for power and respect, there isn’t much to this character, and Pascal’s portrayal grows increasingly cartoonish. A sensitive performer, he’s afforded the opportunity to show more range beneath his Beskar steel helmet and armor on “The Mandalorian.”

The bulk of the overlong “WW84” running time is devoted to the chaos that ensues when wish-fulfillment runs amok. The script meanders awkwardly between all three of these characters as they either explore their newfound powers or the consequences of their choices. Along the way, the rules for wishing on the stone keep changing in whatever way is convenient to keep the plot chugging along. But some genuinely thrilling moments emerge along to the way to the generically shiny, noisy climax, including a heart-pounding chase across the Egyptian desert that allows Diana to reveal both her resourcefulness and her kindness. And Barbara’s transformation from unassuming scientist to ass-kicking seductress is a pleasure to behold, mainly because the evolution of her clothes and hair are so great and she seems to be having the most fun of anyone on screen. (The same cannot be said for Gadot and Pine this time, whose connection is weirdly inert despite the potential poignancy of being reunited with your one true love.) Sure, Barbara eventually turns into the comic book villainess Cheetah and resembles a refugee from “Cats,” but until then, her arc is the most interesting element of the film.

At the end of this Dumpster fire of a year, though, “Wonder Woman 1984” does deliver a welcome escape, as well as a much-needed message of hope. We’ll take such diversions where we can get them these days, either spread out at a theater or from the safety of your couch at home. It’s fine. Sometimes, it even soars. But it could have been wondrous.

 Ranked: The Top 10 Most Powerful Marvel Superheroes In Marvel Today

05 Jan 2021 | By Administrator

The Marvel Universe is chalked full of powerful superheroes. There are some who can fly across great distances, some who can project an immeasurable amount of energy, some who can destroy planets, some who are immortal, and some who are all of the above and then some.

And it’s the “and then some” that most intrigues me.

After watching Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 and seeing Ego again, I got to thinking about the most powerful Marvel superheroes. Initially, I came up with the most obvious choices (Thor, Dr. Strange Hulk, etc). However, after giving it more thought, I began to see that these superheroes don’t even come close to the power that’s actually in the Marvel Universe.

So what did I do?

I threw out my initial thoughts and started to research. At the conclusion of my research, I realized that there are some incredible beings in Marvel that could destroy any one of the mainstream heroes with the wink of an eye.

Who are they you ask?

Good question.

Here are The Top 10 Most Powerful Marvel Superheroes Today.

10. Black Bolt

Don’t know why Black Bolt deserves to be here? Read on my friend. Read on.

First appearing in Fantastic Four #45, Black Bolt is the most powerful of all the Inhumans. This includes characters who can rupture the hearts of their opponents by tuning into their vibrations, read and take control of others’ minds, manipulate the four Earthly elements, and teleport themselves across time and space. Not only does he have the strength, speed, durability, and stamina to rival any of the Inhumans, but he also has a quasi-sonic scream that could collapse an entire planet if he wanted to. 

Yep. His scream.

Black Bolt’s scream is what defines him. Due to the devastation it can and has caused, he has gone through rigorous training to never utter a sound. This includes the sounds made while sleeping, eating, and the everyday moments of life.

9. Gladiator

Don’t let his mohawk deceive you. Gladiator is immensely powerful.

Due to his alien D.N.A., Gladiator possesses superhuman strength. While the term “superhuman strength” is often thrown around to describe many superheroes, understand that for Gladiator it means that he can rip apart black holes, shatter planets, and stand tall against the Phoenix Force. He also possesses heat vision hotter than a star, hearing capable of listening in on conversations from Lightyear’s away, frost breath, telescopic vision, accelerated healing, has resistance to telepathic attacks, and can move across the galaxy quicker than you could recover from a sneeze.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Where Gladiator becomes really powerful is when his confidence is running high. When this happens, most of his powers become immeasurable. In fact, in one encounter with the Fantastic Four, Gladiator was actually able to lift the Baxter Building right off the ground. 

Right off the ground…

8. Adam Warlock

In his first few iterations, Adam Warlock was not nearly as powerful as he is today. In truth, if this list of most powerful Marvel superheroes was based on his first few iterations, he wouldn’t even have made it on the honorary mentions list.

Luckily, this list isn’t based on his first few iterations. 

While Adam Warlock is powerful (superhuman strength, speed, durability, stamina, agility, cosmic energy projection, flight, and recuperation), it isn’t his innate power that lands him on this list. Instead, it’s the fact that he possesses and controls the Soul Gem.

The Soul Gem has a consciousness of its own…and its consciousness has a thirst for the life energy of all organic beings. This means that it actively seeks to destroy others. Once taken by the Soul Gem, its victim’s souls are destined to forever live inside of it. 

7. Sentry

Sentry is Marvel’s long-awaited answer to one simple question…

For years, fans of comics wondered if Marvel would ever create an equivalent to Superman. For years they wondered if any character under their banner would ever be able to stand toe-to-toe against DC’s flagship character. And for years they wondered why Marvel didn’t answer their questions. 

Well, after years of wondering, Marvel finally answered.

Sentry is Marvel’s Superman. As Superman 2.0, he has more power than he knows what to do with. Not only is he capable of incredible feats of strength, but he can also bend time, teleport, manipulate the weather, heal from practically anything, is invulnerable, and so much more.

To say that Sentry is overpowered just isn’t enough. His power is so much that very few rival him. 

6. Vulcan

Vulcan is the lesser-known of the three Summers brothers. Like his two brothers (Scott and Alex), Vulcan (Gabriel) possesses incredible power. Unlike his two brothers (and most of his relatives), Vulcan can do practically anything he can think of.

• Flight near the speed of light 
• Force field generation and manipulation 
• Can solidify energy into solid objects
• Energy absorption, transformation, manipulation, and projection
• Regeneration
• Can take energy from other mutants and bend it to his will
• Resistant to Psionic attacks
• Can go extended periods without the need for food
• Interstellar travel
• Can manipulate the energy in another’s brain giving him access to their powers

With a power set like this, it’s no wonder that Vulcan has been A) classified as an Omega level mutant and B) finds himself firmly on this list of most powerful Marvel superheroes.

Oh, and before you say it. While Vulcan has appeared as a supervillain, he has also appeared as a superhero.

5. Odin

It should come as no surprise that Odin makes an appearance on this most powerful Marvel superheroes list. He’s the son of Bor, the biological father of Thor, the adopted father of Loki, and the King of Asgard.

None of these, however, land him on this list. 

For all the strength that Thor has and for all the magic and intelligence that Loki possesses, Odin is superior to both in every way possible. Odin isn’t only one of the most powerful Marvel superheroes in existence, but he’s also one of the most powerful superheroes in all of comics. This is so much that his entry into any battle instantly tips the scales in the favor of whichever side he’s on.

4. Franklin Richards

As nothing more than a child, it’s surprising that Franklin Richards even makes this most powerful Marvel superheroes list, isn’t it? By all accounts, he shouldn’t be anything special…he looks like a simple boy. 

But a simple boy he isn’t and special he is.

Franklin Richards has the ability to warp existing realities and create new ones as he sees fit. He’s also able to jump through time and cause entire universes to collapse into themselves. Franklin’s list of impressive feats is long. Since coming to comics over 50 years ago, he has taken down Mephisto, made Galactus his Herald, created multiple pocket dimensions, and caused flowers to grow from the Mad Celestials.

If it sounds like Franklin can do practically anything he wants, it’s because he can. In the world of most powerful Marvel superheroes, Franklin Richards has very few equals. 

3. Quasar

Although there have been plenty of versions of the Quasar character, each has one thing in common…the Quantum Bands. 

The Quantum Bands are the creation of Eon and were designed to be worn by the Protector of the Universe. When worn, the Bands become attached to the wearer and link themselves to the person’s nervous system. The Quantum Bands grant the wearer the power of energy manipulation. Not just any energy manipulation, however. The Bands tap into the limitless energy of the Quantum Zone. This energy allows Quasar to explode stars, redirect the energy of beings like the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock, and Thanos, and with careful training, withstand psionic attacks. Once inside the Quantum Zone, Quasar can instantly jump to any point in the Universe. The Gems that the Bands are made from also allow the wearer to process information no matter the complexity and to track energy across incredible distances. 

As the Protector of the Universe, it’s easy to see why Quasar makes this list of most powerful Marvel superheroes. 

2. Silver Surfer

First appearing inside the pages of Fantastic Four #48, the Silver Surfer is easily one of the most powerful Marvel Superheroes.

Here’s why.

***Inhale*** 

The Silver Surfer is imbued with the Power Cosmic. With it, he’s given superhuman endurance, strength, and is able to both absorb and manipulate the Universe’s ambient energy. He’s also able to travel across time and space and knows nearly no limit to the speed by which he can do either. In addition, he does not need sleep and projects energy in whichever way he wants. This means that he can destroy planets, create forcefields, heal those around him, create interdimensional portals, manipulate and phase through solid matter, and can control the astral plane.

If the above isn’t enough, he can also see through time, perceive past and future events, can influence human emotion and thoughts, and possesses telepathy. 

***Exhale***

1. Uatu

It’s been said that a good education is a key to power. If that’s true, then Uatu leads the Marvel Universe in power. Uatu is a member of one of the oldest groups of beings in the galaxy, The Watchers. As a member of The Watchers, Uatu has been assigned to watch over the Earth and record its events.

Uatu is power defined. 

• Telepathy
• Flight
• Forcefields that negate the power of incoming attacks
• Appearance altering
• Can watch over an immeasurable amount of events simultaneously (Earthbound and otherwise) 
• Can convert his body to energy to travel across great distances
• Energy manipulation 
• Is able to cast illusions
• Immortality unless he chooses to die
• Can transport himself and others around him through time

Having watched over and studied multiple areas of the Multiverse, Uatu is the most educated being in the Marvel Universe. Imagine that. Imagine coming face to face with someone who knows more about you and everything around you than you will ever know…

That’s power.

And that’s it. The Top 10 Most Powerful Marvel Superheroes. What do you think? Who would make your most powerful Marvel superheroes list?

 Officially Ranked: The Top 10 Most Powerful Marvel Supervillains

05 Jan 2021 | By administration

As Newton said, “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”. 

The world requires balance. For every bit of sunshine, there’s a rainstorm. For every fast there is slow. And for every good, there is evil.

Comic books are no different. For them to work, there must be forces opposing one another…and there are. Comic books have done a phenomenal job of creating characters, landscapes, dimensions, and realities in opposition to one another. For example…

• Dr. Strange and Dormammu
• Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom
• Avengers and Thanos
• Thor and Loki
• Green Goblin and Spider-Man 

A little while back, I counted down the Top 10 Most Powerful Marvel Superheroes. The list included heroes like Odin, Adam Warlock, Franklin Richards, and Black Bolt. At its conclusion, I felt unfinished. To alleviate this feeling, I began constructing a list of the most powerful Marvel supervillains.

Now, in an effort to achieve balance, I’d like to bring it to you.  

10. Apocalypse

Apocalypse is considered the first mutant in existence. As the first mutant, Apocalypse is multiple millennia years old. As a character who’s multiple millennia years old, Apocalypse has amassed a database of knowledge only privy to a few. And if the saying “knowledge is power” is true, Apocalypse has no shortage of power.

If for whatever reason, his knowledge fails him, Apocalypse is a mutant who won the gene pool won when powers were being handed out. Due to his mutation, Apocalypse can alter his size, connect with any technology, possesses regeneration, shapeshifting, super strength, and near invulnerability. 

And that’s not all.

Apocalypse also has the ability to grant power to others. Once given power, these unlucky ones become known as his Four Horseman. The Four Horseman are then forced to spend their existence doing his every bidding. 

9. Kang the Conqueror

Different from a few others of the most powerful Marvel supervillains on this list, Kang has time working in his favor. That is, he has time travel working in his favor.

Kang is actually Nathaniel Richards and Nathaniel Richards hails from the future. As a man from the future, Kang was fascinated with the past. This led him to discover some time-traveling technology. With technology, Richards traveled forward and backward through time. By traveling forward, he discovered highly advanced technology that he could use to defeat his enemies of the past. 

Kang is A) one of the most intelligent supervillains alive, B) a superior combatant, and C) one of Earth’s greatest tacticians. He wears a battle suit that grants him increased strength, the ability to project energy, forcefields, and holograms. The suit also allows him to survive for extended periods of time without food or water. In addition to the already mentioned, Kang can control most forms of technology and is resistant to radiation.

8. Magneto

First appearing in X-Men #1 back in 1963, Magneto has been both a supervillain and a superhero. No matter which side of the battle he’s on, he’s always one of the most powerful characters on the battlefield. 

Magneto is an Omega-Level mutant who can control the Earth’s metal. This means that he can bend it, shape it, throw it, mold it, use it as a weapon, fly with it, and more. Magneto is such a force to be reckoned with that he has single handily stopped the Avengers in their tracks and caused the X-Men to retreat on more than one occasion. 

Magneto is the opposite of what the X-Men have stood for since the beginning of time. While they promote peace and harmony, he wants mutant supremacy. This in conjunction with his hatred of humans easily lands him on this most powerful Marvel supervillains list. 

7. Dr. Doom

As the ruler of Latveria, Dr. Doom is a villain that everyone is Marvel is afraid of. He’s a practitioner of magic, a brilliant scientist, has an incredible knowledge of all weapons, and can build anything that he thinks of. When he first appeared, he was considered the mortal enemy of the Fantastic Four. Over time, however, his villainy has spilled over to just about every hero alive. 

Unfortunately, none of the above is what makes him one of the most powerful Marvel supervillains. What makes him this is that he will do whatever it takes to succeed. He has killed, maimed, enslaved, tortured, and held others hostage to achieve whatever definition he gives victory.

6. Thanos

On his own, Thanos is one of the most feared beings in Marvel. Not only does he possess superhuman strength, endurance, reflexes, and agility, but he’s also one of the most intelligent characters in Marvel Comics. Once he’s collected and put the Infinity Gems, now Stones to use, he’s nearly unstoppable. 

The Time, Space, Soul, Mind, Power, and Reality Stones give Thanos the power to do practically anything he wants. With them, Thanos becomes all-powerful. He can bend reality, travel through time, control others, warp space, give and take away life, and more.  This sort of power wouldn’t normally be a problem. For a character bent on ruling the entire galaxy, it’s a big problem. As such, including Thanos on this list of the most powerful Marvel supervillains is as easy as going to bed when you’re overtired.

5. Mephisto

Mephisto is the Devil of Marvel Universe. He resides in the underworld and spends his time concocting plans of pure evil and chaos. As the Devil of the Marvel Universe, Mephisto controls an army of demons that could obliterate the Earth at a moment’s notice. This, more than his power, is what makes him so powerful.

What is his power?

Mephisto is immortal, has both superhuman strength and speed, can shapeshift, is able to alter time and memory, and can, through negotiation, take the souls of his opponents. Worse yet, once he takes the souls of others, he becomes even more powerful. 

4. Dormammu 

Not only is Dormammu one of the most fun names to say in comics, but he is also more powerful than most on this list. 

Dormammu was created by the legendary team of Steve Ditko and Stan Lee. He first appeared inside the pages of Strange Tales #126 and has been wreaking havoc on the Marvel Universe since. Dormammu is one of the most powerful beings around. Through the Dark Dimension he’s capable of energy projection, matter manipulation, teleportation, necromancy, size altering, he can give his power to others and can create Demon Lords.

And that’s not the most remarkable part of Dormammu and the Dark Dimension. 

The most remarkable part about Dormammu and the Dark Dimension is twofold. First, Dormammu rules all. Second, time and space cease to exist. Because of this, any spells that Dormammu casts inside it are truly forever and unbreakable…

3. Galactus

Galactus is an incredible force that goes around looking for worlds to consume. His reasons for this aren’t entirely villainous, however. He does this because the worlds provide him sustenance. That is, without consuming worlds, he would die. 

Rather than find the worlds himself, Galactus gives other beings great power in exchange for their servitude. Once under the employment of Galactus, these beings (Heralds) travel throughout the galaxy looking for uninhabited worlds for their master. Because they’ve been given power by Galactus, should they encounter any trouble when selecting worlds, they are more than equipped in dealing with it. 

What I’m saying is that when a character is known as the “Eater of Worlds”, it’s no surprise that they are one of the most powerful Marvel supervillains. 

2. Beyonder

Created by Mike Zeck and Jim Shooter, the Beyonder is a cosmic entity that is near-omnipotent, near-omniscient, and near-omnipresent. He first appeared during the famed Secret Wars of 1984 and has reappeared countless times since. In his first appearance, he was the character responsible for gathering Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains and forcing them to fight in a battle royale. He did this because he wanted to witness the never-ending battle of good vs evil. 

Since then, his powers have diminished, albeit in an almost inconsequential way. No matter his power level, he’s still himself proven capable of sending Galactus away on a whim, destroying and creating galaxies just because, and destroying and recreating the entity called Death. 

1. Phoenix Force

Like the mythological bird that we all know, the Phoenix brings death and rises anew from the ashes it leaves behind. The Phoenix Force is an ultimate power within the Marvel Universe. It’s both without change and immortal and is born of the void between states of beings. It’s also the center point of all Psionic Energy that has existed, does exist, and will ever exist. 

Even though over the years it has made Jean Grey a priority, it has possessed many other characters.

• Cyclops
• Colossus
• Magik
• Namor
• Emma Frost

The Phoenix Force grants its host galaxy-altering abilities. For example, when it took control of Jean Grey, she was able to cause planet-wide genocide…and she did. The Phoenix Force is as powerful or more powerful than any other on this list of most powerful Marvel supervillains.
