It seems that we finally have an answer to the question that has led to many conversations, heated debates, and Reddit posts that quickly morphed into cesspools. And it comes from the mouth of the thunder god himself, Chris Hemsworth. So who are we to question his answer? Especially considering that he\u2019s not wrong in the slightest\u2014the power levels between these two heroes aren\u2019t even comparable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked who would win a fight between Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch, and Thor, Chris said with a smile on his face and no hesitation, \u201cProbably Wanda.\u201d And while his answer did predictably lead to more than a few meltdowns in the comments, the majority of them were in agreement that even Thor himself couldn\u2019t overpower Wanda. \u201cAy, I\u2019m glad Chris Hemsworth is honest because if we\u2019re all being honest, the Scarlett Witch would win,\u201d said one Marvel fan.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Not Even a Competition<\/p>\n
One fan took to Reddit<\/a> to ask if they were the only one who thought Scarlet Witch was the most powerful avenger, saying, \u201cShe destroyed the most powerful group of people that included Peggy Carter, Black Bolt, and others in a whole other universe, she took a whole town hostage with only her mind, she was the closest one to singlehandedly beat Thanos, and Doctor Strange couldn\u2019t even beat her. He just made her realize what she was doing. Am I alone in thinking she\u2019s the most powerful of the Avengers?\u201d Another fan simply responded with<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s ok to just say Wanda\u2019s the most powerful Avenger. You don\u2019t have to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n And it\u2019s no secret. Wanda\u2019s powers are, and always have been, insane, with a base power of being able to control and harness chaos magic. Beyond that, she possesses the ability to manipulate energy and reality, as well as telekinesis, mind control and manipulation, probability manipulation, and the ability to sense magic. And that\u2019s not even mentioning the spell casting, witchcraft, and black magic. Or the ability to fly\u2014but that seems like small potatoes, comparatively. Her powers have indeed shifted over time, allowing the writers of the comics and the minds behind the Marvel movies to make tweaks and do what they wanted with the character, but even so, debating whether or not she could beat Thor, who, while no slouch in the power department (the dude is literally a god), seems a bit silly.\u00a0<\/p>\n But as for the need for a debate, Wanda herself summed it up best when speaking to Doctor Strange: \u201cYou break the rules and become a hero, I do it, and I become the enemy. That doesn\u2019t seem fair.\u201d And hey, now we know that Thor agrees with the sentiment.<\/p>\n
