Is Carol Really Earth's Mightiest Hero?

[Celgress]

I'd say no.

[Mike_Murdock]

Yeah, she was right up there with a herald imo in that form, but not top level herald like surfer, more a terrax as iirc she couldn't sustain the output for as long as say surfer

Is the Silver Surfer part of "Earth's"?

Is the Silver Surfer part of "Earth's"?

I'd say no, why I excluded him in my own list

[Snoop Dogg]

can carol danvers complete the cinnamon challenge

[JudicatorPrime]

And this is the same Carol that needed Blue Marvel to charge her up to Binary level back when they were on the Ultimates? That Carol? If so, no, sorry, she can't be the Mightiest, unless we mean in name only. It's a quaint tag, though.

[Chainsaw Vigilante]

No. When she was Binary she was pretty darn close though.

[XPac]

No. When she was Binary she was pretty darn close though.

Yeah, Binary is an arguable point. At that point, she's up there with the upper tier guys like Surfer and Sentry. She probably wouldn't be my first choice, but her name belongs in the conversation.

That was a strong era for cosmic heroes and heroines on Earth (or at least occasionally on Earth).

Binary, Sersi (as well as Thna, ikarus, Sprite and Gilgamesh), Quasar, Dr. Strange, Photon, The Silver Surfer whenever he stopped by Earth (same with Nova and Firelord), Dark Angel when Marvel UK rolled around, Black Bolt, and a whole bunch of others were all regulars at that time (not to mention when certain mutants would occasionally perform cosmic level feats like Jean and Havok; or the occasional reference to a character's potential like when Speedball was referenced as perhaps being the physical manifestation of the concept of kinetic energy itself or when 7 Darkhawk amulets destabilized the universe).

It honestly was probably the best era if you liked extremely powerful female heroes (who by the way never felt shoehorned into that position, it was always quite natural, imo).

[Osiris-Rex]

Probably my DC bias but I would say Kara Danvers is more powerful than Carol Danvers. Consider that Supergirl has lifted a one million ton space station from the ground and hurled it into space so far the space station
ended up leaving our solar system and went into orbit around a blue star in only a couple years. Also Kara Danvers lifted an entire factory building and a full size submarine into the air.

[Omega Alpha]

Franklin Richards is Earth's most powerful hero.

[dreyga2000]

No. When she WAS Binary she was pretty darn close though.

What is with all this was stuff?? She can still access Binary Mode.

[GodThor]

she can but she needs to be charged up.

[Crimz]

Franklin Richards is Earth's most powerful hero.

Depends on what you mean by "Mighty".

Mightiest does not necessarily mean most powerful.

[dreyga2000]

she can but she needs to be charged up.

Yea but Hulk needs to get angrier, Batman needs prep time, yet those are always factored in when discussing those characters. How is this any different?

[Triniking1234]

Voted no because:

1) Spider-Man exists

2) If you want beef, just go to the grocery. smfh.
