Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

I got the strong impression that she was specifically using his density manipulation ability against him. That's why he went all ragdoll instead of just being slammed into the floor by an invisible force like is normal for telekinesis.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Let me make a Pokemon analogy.
Most of the time a Flygon beats a Ferrothorn 1 on 1. However, Flygon is low tiered while Ferrothorn is high tiered because the latter can beat more Pokemon.
So even if Vision wasn't holding back he can still be stronger.

Non Indicative UsernameVision wasn't holding back, he was actively not fighting her. He had no desire to harm her whatsoever and she got the jump on him.
Even Hawkeye could defeat a Thor who had no interest in the altercation and was actively refraining from hitting him with anything.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.MCU Wanda can rip through Vibranium and completely immobilize Vision. I don't doubt that Vision has the potential to be stronger, considering he's powered by an entire Infinity Stone, while she just got her powers from it, but as it is now, I'd say that Wanda is stronger than Vision. Doesn't mean she's stronger than Hulk, or that Vision is weaker than Hulk.
Well that's kind of lame. I like psychics and all but her powers can be so much cooler than that.
Also, I should have known I'd find a list like this on YT.
Of course, I'm not so sure about this list. Is MCU Spiderman the Andrew Garfield one? Because I never saw those movies but Toby-man would punch Cap's head off. In fact, most any version o fSpidey should destroy Cap.
Also Netflix Kingpin must be weaksauce as fuck. Comic Fisk has regularly used Matt as a punching bag and mop.

Who, thus far, all we've really seen of him is the airport battle in which he
- Effortlessly defeated the Winter Soldier without even realizing that it's supposed to be a hard thing to do.
- Got a shipping container dropped on him by Captain America.
- Came up with and executed the plan to bring down Giant-Man.
Which, all told, is pretty impressive for a combined maybe 15 minutes of screentime.

He's pretty weaksauce. His organization is toppled by his own constant stupidity with occasional help from Murdock, and then when he's desperate and on the run, Murdock hunts him down and hands him his ass on a plate. The series tries to build him up as a big scary threat, but it's underwhelming because he's pretty consistently an idiot prone to self-destructive outbursts who only manages to accomplish anything due to a seemingly bottomless well of money.
He's like Iron Man if, instead of a suit of powered armor he made by himself, he manifested his Infinite Wealth power in the form of paying bribes. That's his go-to for everything. Bribery is his superpower.

x4 At her strongest she's a powerful Reality Warper.

Well, the Netflix series didn't even attempt to adapt his Charles Atlas Superpower from the comics so he's definitely not freakishly strong like Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin was.

It's utterly pointless to debate who could beat who in a superhero fight because it ultimately comes down to who the writer wants to win. Spider-Man is frequently beaten up and almost killed by far weaker opponents, while Captain America regularly beats down guys who are way stronger than him. Power levels by themselves mean virtually nothing.
No, he doesn't. He manages to spring a trap on Frank by bribing some bribes into bribe, then when that backfires spectacularly, his plan is basically to loose Frank on the outside world to buy himself time to bribe enough bribes that Frank maybe someday hopefully won't be able to get through his thick wall of bribed bribes.
Both Frank and Murdock are the antithesis to Kingpin's strategy because they can't be bribed or bought and that is literally the only thing he has at his disposal. Reject the bribe and he's helpless.

Isn't that more of a Strong, but Unskilled vs. Weak, but Skilled thing? There has times where Kraven has won with clever planning or gets stomped and requires power up to be a threat.

It's that kind of thinking that makes comic book writing such a joke and why I mainly read miniseries and self-contained alternate universe titles. It doesn't matter what the writer thinks, it matters what makes sense. You basically just said bad storytelling is fine because it's what the writer wanted. Well, Captain America being able to beat The Hulk is just as stupid and shouldn't be allowed.
"Cooler than Telekinesis and illusion projection? "
Way cooler.

Sadly, Evo Wanda was an isolated incident.

She smashed him through hundreds of feet of concrete and rock. He was completely unable to move. I mean, maybe if he wanted to laser her, he could've won, but she might've been able to point his head away from her.
