The MCU is currently the biggest cinematic universe ever, with 33 movies and dozens of live-action shows. It has introduced hundreds of characters, ranging from humans to gods and strange creatures. Some characters protect the Earth from evil forces, while others seek to plunge it into chaos.
Judging the overall strength and powers of these characters is tricky since it depends on the situation and how they use their abilities. To get a clearer picture, we turned to Ranker, where nearly 7,000 fans voted for who they think is the most powerful character in the MCU. Here are the results.
10. Vision
I was surprised to see Vision ranked so high on the list, while his creator didn’t even make the top 15. But it makes sense. Vision was created by the Mind Stone, and characters with powers from the Infinity Stones tend to rank really high.

MCU is at the moment the biggest cinematic universe that ever existed, encompassing 33 movies and dozens of live-action shows, it’s needles to say that it introduced hundreds of characters. From humans to gods and strange creatures some decided to protect the Earth from evil forces, while some wanted to plunge it into chaos.
Naturally, judging the general strength of characters as well as their powers is difficult since it depends on the situation and how they are used. This is why we decided to turn to Ranker, where nearly 7000 fans cast their vote regarding (in their opinion) the most powerful character in the MCU, and here are the results.

In director Soudade Kaadan's magical realist Nezouh, photographed by the French cinematographer Hélène Louvart, 14-year-old Zeina (Hala Zein) and her family are the only ones remaining in their besieged hometown of Damascus, Syria.
When a missile damages their home, a rope is mysteriously lowered through the hole in the roof, offering Zeina an escape from the confines of her apartment. Zeina's father Mutaz (Samir Almasri) refuses to leave, fearful of life as a refugee. As the conflict continues to rage, Zeina and Hala (Kinda Alloush), her mother, must decide whether to go against Mutaz's wishes and leave Damascus.

A city under siege in the throes of war becomes the setting for a tale of unexpected liberation in Soudade Kaadan’s humanistic Venice Audience Award winner that signposts its intentions when a character expresses surprise about the notion of “a film in Syria where no one dies”. Kaadan has one eye on a young adult audience, avoiding the out and out horrors of war that Insyriated made of a very similar siege set-up in favour of a magic realist-inflected tale where it is not just teenagers who are gaining their independence.
Young Zeina (Hala Zein) has just hit puberty and her apartment is like any number of suburban homes across the world, with its patterned wallpaper, comfy sofa and mirror on the wall. The only difference is, she and her mum Hala (Kinda Alloush) and dad Motaz (Samer al Masri) are just about the only ones left in their besieged neighbourhood.

Soudade Kaadan’s second feature is a sweet-natured and beautifully photographed portrait of a grumpy middle-aged guy, his sceptical wife and their teenage daughter
Here is the second feature from Syrian film-maker Soudade Kaadan, set in a Damascus suburb during the most brutal shelling of the civil war, among the remaining traumatised residents wondering whether to stay or leave as refugees heading for the Mediterranean. The resonant title means “displacement” and her images of the city, modified with some magic-realist effects, are very striking.
A middle-aged guy, Motaz (Samer al-Masry) is grumpily asserting his authority in front of his increasingly sceptical family: his wife is Hala (Kinda Alloush) and they are parents to teen daughter Zeina (Hala Zein), who is incidentally conspiring with her mother to suppress the news that she has started her period. She also likes a certain boy who keeps coming around – budding film-maker Amer (Nizar Alani...
