Thor: Ragnarok
obstinate to pop opinion , Hela - and not Thanos - is the MCU ’s most powerful baddie , as point by a picture inAvengers : Endgame . When Thor met the Mad Titan for the first time inAvengers : Infinity War , he was fresh out of a conflict with Cate Blanchett ’s Hela , the Goddess of Death . Hela was the main villain ofThor : Ragnarokand Thor ’s large threat to date . Presumably , this changed almost immediately when Thanos came onto the scene .
Thor : Ragnarokgave Thor one of the toughest fights of his sprightliness with the launching of Hela , Odin ’s first child . The challenge Hela posed to Thor far go past all of Thor ’s previous foes , including Loki , Malekith , and Ultron . Hela well disposed of the God of Thunder and destroyed one of the greatest weapons in the Marvel Universe , Mjolnir . After being captured and taken to Sakaar , it have almost an full movie for Thor to get a team together and have a rematch with his old and more powerful sister . Even after tapping into his full potency , Thor still could n’t defeat Hela . The only matter that could block her was Surtur , who , after being resurrected , destroyed Asgard and shoot down Hela .

purportedly , Thanos is even strong than Hela . He hits the Avengers with everything he has in the last struggle ofAvengers : Endgame , and how he ’s able-bodied to push them all to their demarcation line is telling to say the least . But , his fight with Captain Americamakes a statement about how his mogul compares to Hela ’s . Thanos hits Captain America with a bombardment of attacks , repeatedly striking Captain America ’s shield . Despite the shield being made out of vibranium , Thanos ' blade is able to break it aside , opus by piece . As shocking as this may be , it pal in comparison to what Hela was able to fulfill inThor : Ragnarok .
An unarmedHela disintegrated Thor ’s hammerjust by hold it in her bare hand . It took Thanos a important travail to break off Captain America ’s shield , but Hela destroyed Mjolnir with simpleness . And there ’s no mistaking which weapon is made of the strong material . Captain America ’s shield may be made out of vibranium , but even that ca n’t compete withuru metallic element , which far outshine anything forged by soul .
So if Hela really is more herculean than Thanos , why didnearly every hero in the MCUhave to derive together to fight him , when Hela was challenged by only a handful of crack - powered eccentric ? That ’s because Thor engineered Hela ’s twilight by having Surtur kill her . This mean that Thor never technically defeated Hela . In fact , he came nearer to beating Thanos inInfinity Warthan he ever did with his sister .
