We will be doing VS. battles for the MCU every week and will be using the Winners and Losers to create an accurate power tier list created by some of it's biggest fans (you). So don't forget to VOTE and after voting for a Winner please include a comment on which power tier, both the Winner and Loser should reside within. Also, see below for more details on the characters abilities as well as for a list of available power tiers to choose from.

Don't forget to put which Tier group you think Doctor Strange and Captain Marvel belong to in your posts. Also, don't forget I've now added the option of being able to change your vote if you change your mind. :up:


So, without further delay here is this week's match up

DOCTOR STRANGE

DOCTOR STRANGE

- Master Sorcerer: As the former guardian of the New York Sanctum, Strange, despite his relative inexperience, was one of the most powerful members of the Masters of the Mystic Arts, possessing an extremely high level of mastery over magic which he used to defend his native reality. Indeed, despite his inexperience, an impressed Karl Mordo claimed that Strange's prodigious skills meant that he was "born for the mystic arts", and the Ancient One herself noted that Strange has tremendous potential as a sorcerer. Indeed, even while still inexperienced, Strange was able to use the powers of the Time Stone's container, the Eye of Agamotto, quite effectively and safely, despite it being considered to be very dangerous for the natural order.

- Eldritch Magic Manipulation: Strange is able to shape and manipulate Eldritch Magic, forming tangible constructs of energy such as weapons or shields, as well as cast spells by writing specific formations with the fiery energy. He demonstrated the ability to form Eldritch Whips and Tao Mandalas and could scan a piece of Thor's hair with the energy and briefly conjure Odin's symbol to aid in forming a portal that would take him to Odin.

- Transmutation: During his meeting with Thor, Strange was able to turn a cup of tea into a large mug of beer that was also able to magically refill itself, much to Thor's pleasant surprise. After Bruce Banner crashed through the roof of the Sanctum, Strange was able to transform the normal street clothes he was wearing into his blue robes. During the Battle of Titan, Strange transformed a singularity sent by Thanos into multitudes of blue butterflies, impressing the Mad Titan.

- Atmospheric Spell: Strange was able to conjure a wave of golden light that cleared the street of smoke and debris after Ebony Maw's Q-Ship landed in Greenwich Village, while also stopping the destructive windstorm the ship was causing. The smoke was expelled from the street and towards the sky.[9]
Protection Spell: To protect the Eye of Agamotto from being stolen by Ebony Maw, Strange cast a protection spell upon the relic that burned anyone that attempts to take it, making it seemingly impossible to remove it unless the spell was removed, even if he were killed.

- Binding Spell: During the Battle of Titan, Strange conjured dark red metallic bands to restrain Thanos's hand so he couldn't use the power of the Infinity Gauntlet. The bands were much stronger than the usual Eldritch Whip he uses to restrain enemies, notably able to restrict Thanos' use of the Gauntlet for a considerable period of time, although Thanos was able to eventually break out and redirect the force of the bands to knock Strange away.

- Duplication Spell: During the Battle of Titan, Strange was able to create dozens of copies of himself to attack Thanos with their Eldritch Whips. The duplicates, however, were quickly dispersed when Thanos released a wave of energy from the Power Stone, with only the real Strange remaining.

- Flight: Using the Cloak of Levitation, Strange is able to levitate, hover, and fly. The Cloak can greatly lessen the impact of falling from great heights by effortlessly reducing his speed.

- Dimensional Warping: Strange was capable of conjuring a construct of the Mirror Dimension in the form of crystalline fractals that acted as a shield, absorbing an energy beam from the Power Stone, and was also able to send the fractals at Thanos.

- Teleportation: Using a Sling Ring, Strange is able to open portals that lead to different locations, gaining the ability to both move across the material world and to other parts of the Multiverse. Strange can also teleport others at great speeds, with him notably causing a portal to move and engulf Thor and Loki, sending them to Odin's location, as well as rapidly open portals for Star-Lord and Spider-Man during their fight with Thanos.

- Interdimensional Travel: Using the same Sling Ring, Strange can travel between different dimensions of the Multiverse, crossing over different planes of existence or traveling across various forms of reality. However, Strange was notably able to access the Mirror Dimension and transport himself and the Zealots there without the Sling Ring. Furthermore, Strange can forcibly transport others to another dimension, and later retrieve them, as he did when temporarily imprisoning Loki in a dimension where he was constantly falling, leaving him there for thirty minutes until Thor asked for his release. When the Black Order arrived to retrieve the Time Stone, Strange and Wong were able to send an attack by Ebony Maw back by opening portals to a void-like dimension.

- Astral Projection: Strange is capable of separating his astral form from his body, gaining access to the Astral Dimension. He notably was able to assist Christine Palmer in operating on his physical body, demonstrating being able to make himself visible to her at will, using the use of the Mirror Dimension as a medium. Strange's Astral body could also make physical body glow from the inside out by putting his hand through it and touching it, which he used to allow Christine to better see his wound when she operated on him.

- Conjuration: Strange was able to make an umbrella stand appear in front of Thor for him to put down Mjølnir, which had been disguised as an umbrella. He also was able to hide the Time Stone after secretly removing it from the Eye of Agamotto and later made it appear between his fingers, allowing it to float over to Thanos.



CAPTAIN MARVEL

- Superhuman Strength
: Danvers possesses a considerable superhuman strength that allows her to overcome several other creatures of the universe, such as Humans, Skrulls and Kree with relative ease. She was also able to stop a Kree missile traveling at high speed and send it against other missiles so that they could not crash into the surface of the planet Earth, as well as cross several Kree ships with relative ease and destroy an extremely huge armored ship, tying it down completely, despite the tough metal with which it had been manufactured.

- Superhuman Durability: Danvers' skin, muscles and bone tissue often have the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being, which makes them almost invulnerable. She withstood destroying missiles and Kree ships launched by Ronan without any effort and pass through an armored ship to destroy it and was left completely unharmed of the great explosion that was generated.

-
Superhuman Speed: Danvers can move at great superhuman speeds. She is able to overwhelm several Skrulls, including Talos, in hand-to-hand combat, was able to easily dodge their wild attacks and land their own blows while in control of them. While chasing a Skrull through the city of Los Angeles, Danvers was able to keep up with the speed of a train to finally get on top of it. She was also able to handle Starforce members in combat, easily dodging their attacks. Also, by combining her speed with her flight capacity, she can travel at the speed of light.

- Superhuman Reflexes
: Danvers can react and dodge objects that travel at high speeds, with her dodging many of the blows of the Skrulls and later the members of the Starforce with relative ease and almost effortlessly. Also, while flying, she was able to dodge the gunshots of the Kree warship.

- Superhuman Agility
: Danvers has greater agility, dexterity, balance and body coordination than a human being. During her training with Yon-Rogg, Danvers was able to do elaborate cartwheels and flying kicks against Yon-Rogg. She was also able to dodge many of the Skrulls' punches and overcome them in her second battle. She was able to easily keep up with and surpass the Starforce members, despite the great agility in combat shown by the latter.

-
Regenerative Healing Factor: Through her cosmic power and Kree blood, she heals faster than an average human.

- Longevity: Due to her enhanced physiology, Danvers' lifespan has been augmented, greatly reducing her aging process if not making her biologically immortal. This allowed her to remain physically the same age since she first became enhanced.

- Cosmic Energy Manipulation: By using this power, all of her costume, her eyes and her hair are surrounded by the cosmic energy that her body generates. This greatly increased Danvers' physical abilities and photon blasts abilities, and gave her the ability to fly at incredible speeds, which is what allowed her to defeat the entire Starforce, defeat, with a single shot of energy, Yon-Rogg, and destroy the ballistic missiles as well as almost all of Ronan's.

Until Strange gets more feats, I vote Carol. She's far more powerful offensively with immense strength and a ranged attack that can take out Kree spaceships. Defensively, she's got such a huge durability advantage that Strange has a slim to none chance to kill/KO her.

Based on what we've seen so far, Strange's best offensive options are
  • to try and use a portal to remove a completely unharmed Carol from the battlefield (not really a win in my book and hard to pull off against a fast/intelligent opponent)
  • cut her with a closing portal if she doesn't dodge and he times it perfectly (potentially effective but extremely hard to pull off against a fast/intelligent opponent)
  • conjure a magical sword that can kill humans but bounced harmlessly off Thanos (likely ineffective)
  • fire orange bolts that can blow up rocks but which Thanos found fairly easy to dodge (likely ineffective and hard to pull off)
Sure, Strange has some amazing defensive spells that could really drag the fight out but sooner or later Carol will land a hit and it's game over for a glass cannon like him.
 
I don't know why but I thought this thread was for Doctor Strange vs Captain Marvel/Shazam. I must really be tired. But yeah.......Captain Marvel. Until Strange gets close to his comic counterpart and perform more feats, he just isn't as powerful as he should be or at least he hasn't shown it.
 
A more interesting conflict would be an experienced older Hank Pym versus Captain Marvel. How would he use his strength and powers to go easy on Marvel?
 
Interesting, just a few weeks ago Doctor Strange was unstoppable.

Hmmmm......
 
Dr Strange. Put bluntly, Carol has no defense against being just plain dumped into another dimension to cool her heels.

If this is a question of raw power, then CM easily. However, Strange shows considerable skill against the power of the infinity stones. CM doesn't show any great tactical skill, a bit of hand to hand combat but nothing strategic at all.

If Dr Strange doesn't use some tricky spells she's just too powerful.

But on a related note, I saw this film yesterday and some of your initial descriptions of her powers are based on a lot of assumptions
Like the longevity ? I mean, she got her powers 6 years before the movie and looks pretty much the same....because it's only 6 years, and you extrapolate that into immortality ? Yon Rogg looks pretty much the same in the flashbacks and the present.

Regenerative healing factor ...... because we saw her heal from some really serious injuries ? Like what ? She did get taken out by a Skrull stunning device early on.

She's certainly more powerful when channelling energy through her body like when she smashes through the Accuser ship at the end of the film. Maybe it generates some kind of force field around her - because she's certainly not invulnerable - as Yon-Rogg proves when he smacks her around early in the film.

She doesn't take any direct hits from missiles, bullets or blasts from kree energy weapons that I recall. When she and Yon-Rogg fight he uses those energy gauntlets that let him chuck big chunks of debris at her.

If I see the the film again, and I see that you were right I'll be happy to admit it, but I think you've given her powers that the film doesn't show.

Maybe those are powers she has in the comics ?

I still give this one to Dr Strange 6/10, but it also depends where the fight takes place. If she gets a hand on him he's in serious trouble.

Yeah, I'm suddenly really glad for the Captain Marvel hype. I am a bit confused people think Carol would win but Vision wouldn't though, he has all the same advantages (flight, speed, durability, strength, ranged attacks).

Dr Strange. Put bluntly, Carol has no defense against being just plain dumped into another dimension to cool her heels.

1. He'd have to actually hit her with a portal (pretty slow moving from what we've seen) before she lands a hit on him.
2. Sending her away completely unharmed shouldn't count as a win.

Haven’t seen Captain Marvel so can’t really give my accurate 2 cents about this battle.

In a way and if they are both similar then what was said of Doctor Strange vs Vision aplies to Captain Marvel as well.

I didn't assume anything, I get all of the powers descriptions from the MCU wiki so take that up with them. However I do agree with the longevity part to an extent, because she shows up in End Game during the post credits scene some 20 years later and she looks exactly the same.

It's because she has the hype bro, I personally think Vision could give her a good match. I really wanted to have her face Thor but Doctor Strange was on a roll so I decided to capitalize on both character's hype.

Thor Vs. Captain Marvel is gonna be the battle of the year if she gets past Doctor Strange.

I take your point about her looking the same in Endgame, 24 years later - although when you travel faster than light time slows down.....anyway if that's what the wiki says fair enough.

You might want to leave Thor v CM until after Endgame because they will probably both have some ridiculous power feats during that film.

I would add one thing about Dr Strange. At the end of CM
Carol faces down the Supreme Intelligence and discovers her true power mostly through grit. Then she simply overwhlems the Kree with might rather than any strategy or skill.

Thor has a similar moment in Ragnarok, although IMO it's done really really well so that there's real tension. It's a trope that's very common in cbms, that the hero discovers their true powers and saves the day.

Dr Strange is different. To save the day he knows he can't win with might alone so he comes up, very quickly, with a desperate and very cunning plan exploiting the villain's not so obvious weakness and with an element of self sacrifice. It's brilliant and IMO raises the level of the climax above most cbms.

This also shows that even if Dr Strange isn't the most powerful hero he is one of the smartest - even Stark, for all his technological genius, doesn't come up with a gambit as clever as that.

Well, it looks like she's going to get past Strange.

Doesn't she need to get past Ultron/Thanos/Hela to get to Thor though?

I could go for a Hela vs Captain Marvel fight.

Yeah, right now we know she's meant to be on Thor's level but she doesn't enough feats yet.

Strength feats: Thor. Although Carol's missile catching feat was pretty great.
Weaponry: Thor has Stormbreaker, Carol fights unarmed.
Lightning/Cosmic Energy: Divine lightning that can ragdoll Thanos, stun Hela and take out multiple Chitauri Leviathans vs Cosmic Energy that can destroy Kree Spaceships.
Skill: Thor.
Blunt Force Durability feats: Well, they can both fly through spaceships and fall from tens of thousands of feet. Thor's also taken Hulk's best hits without a scratch though.
Energy Durability feats: Thor
Stabbing Durability/Healing Factor feats: Thor
Combat reflexes: Debatable but I'd say Thor.
Flight Speed: Carol easily takes this one.
Most Powerful Opponents Beaten: Thor.

Nope, that would be too boring and take too long I want some excitement nowwww.

Yeah the only area Carol has a noticeable advantage in is flight speed, but Thor now has the bifrost so that evens that out.

It should be a good fight, they seem fairly well matched and Cap has the new movie hype so she'll probably win.

You don't think a fight between Captain Marvel and the Goddess of Death would be exciting?
The two most powerful women in the MCU, I think it's a great match up (and my bet's on Hela).

Yeah, bifrost aside Carol would definitely win a race. In a fight though, Thor's got better strength/skill/durability feats plus Stormbreaker and lightning to compete with her photon blasts. I reckon he'd win the vote.

Yeah it would be exciting but if she loses she won't get to fight Thor, but if she loses to Thor she will still get ti fight Hela.

We will see.

Captain Marvel vs Hela would be good but I still think it's worth waiting for Endgame.

Hela > Thor without Stormbreaker

With Stormbreaker Thor might be able to harm her - although she got stabbed by Odin's spear didn't flinch and instantly recovered.

What we haven't seen from Marvel is her resistance to edged weapons particularly those which can one-shot asgardians. In fact
we don't see many durability feats other than her plowing through the Kree warship at the end and she gets KOd by Talos early in the film

On that basis I give Thor an edge - but still want to see what these two can do in Endgame first.

They can have a rematch after End Game, I'm too antsy to wait late April seems so far away lmao.
 
No, he would not have to hit her with a portal. As shown in the Infinity War fight with Thanos, Dr Strange could just plain drop a mirror dimension effect on the whole region they are fighting in. And since Carol doesn't have a Reality Stone to counter this, its into the Mirror Dimension with her.

And this is setting aside the whole issue where Strange's defenses and firepower are being underrated, since apparently "Able to force Thanos on the defensive" and "Able to block and reflect Infinity Stone-created attacks" are somehow not indicative of his firepower.

I don’t see how that counts as a loss though in a 1 on 1 “battle” any more than just fooling your opponent into turning up to the wrong fight location counts as a victory. I can outrun a 35 stone wrestler and then jet around the world at my leisure. Does that mean I win? Can I beat a young Mike Tyson to the heavyweight belt just by dimension dumping him and not throwing a punch? :cwink:
 
I'm surprised how close this is. I was expecting a curb stomp for CM because she's shiny and new.

Not really, if you watch the moment when Thanos chooses to smash Strange's mirror dimension portal with the gauntlet you can also see a huge space to the left of the portal that Thanos could've went into if he'd been fast enough to dodge:

giphy.gif



And since Carol doesn't have a Reality Stone to counter this, its into the Mirror Dimension with her.

Even if he managed it, which I'm not sure he would, she'd be completely unharmed. That's not winning a fight, just avoiding one.

And this is setting aside the whole issue where Strange's defenses and firepower are being underrated, since apparently "Able to force Thanos on the defensive" and "Able to block and reflect Infinity Stone-created attacks" are somehow not indicative of his firepower.
Well, yeah. Strange's defensive feat blocking that power stone attack/mini singularity were great but they're purely defensive. They don't tell us anything about whether Strange could kill/KO someone as fast/durable as Carol.

Based on what we've seen so far, Strange's best offensive options are
  • cut her with a closing portal if she doesn't dodge and he times it perfectly (potentially effective but extremely hard to pull off against a fast/intelligent opponent)
  • conjure a magical sword that can kill humans but bounced harmlessly off Thanos (likely ineffective against Carol)
  • fire orange bolts that can blow up rocks but which Thanos found fairly easy to dodge (likely ineffective against Carol and hard to pull off)
Sure, Strange has some amazing defensive spells that could really drag the fight out but sooner or later Carol will land a hit and it's game over for a glass cannon like him.
 
I think that, specially how things changed for Thor in Ragnarok and IW, we'll probably have the two most powerful heroes: Thor and Captain Marvel. The power gap, if any, won't be big, imo.
