9. Scarlet Witch
DALL-E
Thanks to Elizabeth Olsen’s portrayal in the MCU, Wanda Maximoff is one of the most popular Marvel characters ever. In the comic books, the character has a convoluted history. Originally, Wanda was considered a mutant of Romani descent. Later, it was revealed that Magneto was her father. Then, it was later revealed that Wanda may have received her powers via human experimentation by the High Evolutionary, a rogue scientist and geneticist,
Wanda has the power of chaos magic spell casting, siphoning energy from other dimensions, reality warping, probability manipulation, teleportation, flight, and the ability to manipulate major events on a timeline.

10. She-Hulk
DALL-E
Lawyer Jennifer Walters, also known as She-Hulk, debuted in The Savage She-Hulk #1 in 1979. Stan Lee created She-Hulk as copyright protection for the Hulk IP. In other words, just because Marvel owned the Hulk did not protect them from another company creating a “She-Hulk,”, so Marvel did it first. In the comic books, Walters gains the powers of the Hulk, and the ability to retain her intelligence and transform at will after getting a blood transfusion from Bruce Banner.
She can lift 100 tons and more if frightened or angered accordingly. She also has enhanced stamina, reflexes, speed, a healing factor, and immunity to diseases and ailments. She-Hulk can absorb explosions and large amounts of energy. She-Hulk has effortlessly beaten Thor, a Thanos clone, Abomination, Hercules, and even Zeus in battle in the comic books.
