If Worthy Captain America had Hulk's strength, would he have fared better against Thanos in the final battle?


Let's ignore the fact that Hulk was knocked out with only 11 strikes. If you're going to draw it out, forget about the fact that their battle lasted maybe 2 minutes.

The Hulk is the only member of the Avengers who has ever genuinely moved Thanos. Thanos was fully armoured, as witnessed during his battle with the Big Three at the end of Endgame. I don't care if Wanda snatched him up with her powers or not.

Thor and Thanos engaged in a strength-based combat. Thanos was only using one arm and holding Stormbreaker and Mjolnir, but Thor was using both arms and wielding both Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. Thor was still unable to gain any ground against him. (Moving the actual person is not the same as pushing his arm.)

Thanos was knocked back around 3 feet into a rock by Iron Man's jackhammers.

Spider-Man made Thanos flinch but didn’t truly move him.

Using the power of lightning Thor and Captain America were able to knock Thanos down and move him.

Again, Hulk is the only one that was actually able to manhandle Thanos.

With his initial hit, Hulk pulled Thanos into the air. This was Hulk launching a surprise attack on Thanos.

Remember that this isn't what the question is asking for:

(Yes, I know that’s Bucky Cap, that’s not the point.)

The question is asking for this:

But with the Hulk's power and speed.

So, as I already stated, Thanos has been fighting Captain America up to this point. He's used to fighting a small, frail creature who can be easily smacked. Suddenly, that fist is in excruciating pain. He can no longer simply push the human away, and the Human's strength is now comparable to his own.

Cap is now a considerably better fighter than Hulk has ever been in the MCU (and if we compare them in the comics, Cap is still the better fighter, but the gap isn't as huge).

Could Captain America have defeated Thanos?” becomes the question.


And, to be honest, I believe the answer is yes. Thanos was only able to regain control of the situation because he was able to disarm Captain America:


With Hulk's strength and speed, catching a blow from Cap wouldn't be easy, and more crucially, there's no way to disarm him at this point. When Cap has that strength boost, Thanos can't merely take away his power. So, if Thanos tries and succeeds in catching that right, he'll have to cope with a near-indestructible Vibranium shield being slammed into his head with the strength of the Hulk behind the strike.

If he is striked with the edge of the shield, Thanos is in a lot of pain because it just slashed through him.

Even if it's the face of the shield, he'll be thrown off.

Keeping the scene in prespective, Cap would be fighting Thanos to death before he could react to Sam's voice in his earpiece. Iron Man and Thor would be regaining consciousness and joining the fight while Cap's beating the shit out of Thanos.


After turning Thanos into wine, Dr. Strange and crew arrive just in time to discover a dead Thanos with Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man sitting alongside him breathlessly.

Which Avenger would be the scariest if turned evil?

Who would be the scariest is the question being posed here, not who would be the most powerful. It's a challenging question. However, I believe I would have to choose Captain America. I can imagine you shaking your head at me. How is Cap a more terrifying antagonist than, say, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, or Scarlet Witch? That's easy. Captain America is the character I chose since he is the least corruptible. Consider this. The other Avengers members are amply demonstrated to be humanly fallible: Who knows what sort of things Black Widow did while she worked against SHIELD. After losing his family, Hawkeye turned into a ronin who slaughtered criminals with shocking brutality. Iron Man, who has occasionally shown himself to be incredibly egotistical and conceited, he also created Ultron. If Hulk is not restrained, he becomes a monster. As a result of his disobedience and arrogance, Thor has a tendency to brag and has spent a good deal of time being unworthy. Captain America not so...

Can Dr. Strange use the time-looping strategy on Thanos the way he did against Dormammu?

  No, he cannot Even if he succeeds, it will have no effect on Thanos. What Doctor Strange did to Dormammu is heavily misunderstood. Dr Strange attempted to halt Dormammu's attack by reversing time. However, it was unsuccessful against Dormammu because he was simply out of time. Even reversing all of Earth's time wouldn't be able to save him. As a result, Dr Strange chose this strategy: he locked himself in a time loop, which implies that if he is killed, his time will be reset to the moment before he did it. However, because he couldn't change Dormammu's time, it will appear that the same thing is happening to him over and over again. Dr Strange will experience his “ I’ve come to bargain”  death only once in every loop, while for Dormammu, it will become an annoying repeat. Because Thanos is a physical creature who is not beyond time, if Dr Strange tries this on him, he will not have the same experience as Dormammu. He'll have the same experience as Dr. Strange...

What does the vision of OG 6 Avengers in Age of Ultron tell us? Was it a vision of their future?

Undoubtedly, it was a glimpse into the future. Age of Ultron opens with Tony Stark seeing a picture of the World being overtaken by Chitauri and a mass of fallen Avengers. Tony wasn't the only one who had visions, the premonition of what was to come was also experienced by other 4 OG avengers, these visions clearly connected with what happed in Infinity War and Endgame. For Tony it was nightmare, he was shown that what could happen if he did not volunteer. The very first glimpse we get is of Hulk, who no one thought could be defeated, despite the fact that he was completely decimated. However, he was visibly breathing, indicating that he wasn't dead. This hinted at what would happen in Infinity War, specifically, Hulk losing the fight to Thanos. Thor is lying down with his eyes closed, implying that he is unconscious rather than dead. You could also argue that Mjolnir is just out of reach for Thor, which could be a hint as to how he lost Mjolnir in Thor: Ragnarok, although that...
