Thor : Love & Thunder continues to make the graven image a major part of the MCU ’s history - and here are all the ways pantheons have affected the cosmos .

Captain Marvel was able to withstand direct gust from Thanos inAvengers : Endgame , and a variant of Danvers easy took on Party Thor during Marvel Studios’What If … ? . InThe Marvels , Danvers is powerful enough to fly into a dead wiz and single - handedly reignite it .
