In short, in a straight-up battle, Dr. Manhattan could easily destroy Superman. All he would have to do is disintegrate him and no matter how powerful Superman might be compared to other beings, Dr. Manhattan is simply too powerful.

The Charlton Crew: Secret Origins of WATCHMEN

• DOCTOR MANHATTAN: CAPTAIN ATOM.
• NITE-OWL: BLUE BEETLE.
• RORSCHACH: THE QUESTION.
• SILK SPECTRE: NIGHTSHADE.
• THE COMEDIAN: PEACEMAKER.

It took me a few readings to finally understand that Ozymandias is hero of the comic book, even though he was not the story’s protagonist. Ozymandias did what he saw was necessary. Alan Moore judges him to be a monster. In such a case of moral relativism, you have to see him as a hero.

Although the Watchmen do not possess superhuman powers—except for Jon Osterman (Dr. Manhattan)—they occupy archetypal hero roles, fighting crime, wearing costumes, and forming leagues.

In keeping with the realism of the series, although the costumed crimefighters of Watchmen are commonly called “superheroes”, only one, named Doctor Manhattan, possesses any superhuman abilities.

In the end, Superman manages to come out on top, proving to be the stronger of the two when it comes to brute force and strength. This issue confirms that Superman has the power to defeat Darkseid in battle, given he soaks up some sun beforehand and takes out Darkseid’s Omega Beams.

Of course, Dr. Manhattan wins in this regard, since his powers are directly tied to him and his DNA. While Thanos is still incredibly powerful even without the Infinity Gauntlet, he is nowhere near as strong as Dr. Manhattan without the Infinity Stones.

1. 1 THE PRESENCE. When counting down the most powerful DC cosmic characters of all-time, the number one on the list has to be DC’s version of God.

5. 5 MISTER MXYZPTLK.
6. 6 ORION.

Dr. Manhattan cannot die, at least that is the dominant theory. The character has survived death and as a being of energy, he has proven that he cannot be destroyed as per the natural laws of the universe he exists in – energy cannot be destroyed, it just changes form.

Hercules. Over 3000 years old, Hercules, the son of Zeus, is considered the physically strongest character in the entire Marvel universe. He is stronger than both Thor and Hulk, and once pulled the entire island of Manhattan which weighed 99,000,000,000 tons.

Captain America secretly has record-breaking speed, but he doesn’t want anyone else – including his fellow Avengers – to know. Warning! Spoilers for Avengers #45 below! Captain America is one of the strongest heroes in the Marvel Universe, but he is also secretly one of the fastest Avengers and people in the world.

Thanos

Captain Marvel did indeed defeat Thor, but only a hammer-less Thor. So the answer seems to be: Thor-with-hammer defeats Captain Marvel; Thor-without-hammer loses to Captain Marvel.

1 Youngest: Scarlet Witch.

While there are many Marvel villains that love and adore Thanos, there are some heroes in the universe that simply despise him. One such hero, who very much hates Thanos and seems to survive for the sole purpose of being able to kill him, is Drax, the Destroyer.

30 years old

2, which is set two months later, Baby Groot is 10 inches tall. Infinity War takes place roughly four years after Vol. 2, and Groot stands a slender 5 feet, 4 inches tall. (This Groot is often called “Teen Groot,” but James Gunn has said that Groot is an adolescent, more akin to a 12-year-old than a teenager).

Groot understands English, but just can’t pronounce it, due to his stiff voicebox. His species, being made of wood, has such stiff voiceboxes that they can only say “I am Groot” in different tones, so their language consists of different intonations of that one phrase.

We are friends

HE calls Groot as “Tree” because it maybe his nick name kept by Thor. We also notice Thor calling “Rocket” as “Rabbit” and the “Captain” . And also Rocket likes it because he also calls him the smartest of all the GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY .

The theorist also says that Thor has a habit of referring to people by their surname (Stark, Rogers, Banner), so it’s possible that Groot’s full name is Groot Tree.

No. He is Groot. The Yggdrasil is a representation of the layout of the Nine Realms.

James Gunn has confirmed that by the time of the post-credit scene of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2/Avengers: Infinity War (basically by the time Groot II is ‘Teen Groot’), all the Guardians can understand Groot’s language (before then only Rocket could). Thor can also understand it.

Groot might only say “I am Groot,” but here’s why the Guardians of the Galaxy are able to understand the meaning behind what he says. As a longtime associate of Rocket though, the raccoon is able to understand what Groot is saying from the moment they’re introduced.

According to James Gunn, as of Guardians 2 Peter Quill does understand Groot. Yes. It appears he learned to understand it while raising Groot’s child. Actually, Thor only completed high school a week before the first Thor movie when it was discovered he never got his diploma.

Thor’s hammer Mjolnir was defined by the fact that only the ‘worthy’ could lift it – so basically no-one except the god of thunder (and Vision, for some reason). But when it comes to the weapon’s replacement, Stormbreaker – which Thor forges in Avengers: Infinity War – Groot is able to lift it too.
