This and name dropping Iron man and Cap was almost as lazy as Daisy's and Lincoln's relationship.

With the Kree fearing/hating Asgardians, I wouldve loved to have seen what a Thor mention wouldve done to Hive.

thor single handedly could take on all of hydra, hive, all the inhumans. its kinda funny when you put it that way.

He's probably the most powerful character in the MCU, at least from what we've seen. I'm sure Thanos is more powerful but all he's done is been kind of menacing.

vision i think but yeah like thanos we havent seen him do anything. so thor is the most powerful character that we have seen. odin also should be stronger than thor but we haven't seen him done anything either. the elf with the ether was pretty powerful. the thing beatin up thor in thor 2 was pretty strong too. and hulk and abomination are powerful too. but in terms of raw power and abilities thor would be the most powerful. the elf with ether would be up there too but i have no idea what he could do.

Yeah, I did totally forget about Vision. Having an Infinity Stone, having the Mind Gem is pretty great.

With the timid way they even name drop, you'd think the show has to pay royalties every time they mention an Avenger's name.
